We are still taking questions! This week, Matt, who is a worship leader at
a progressive Christian church, writes in with a question we've found to be
a common one—in fact, it's one we've asked ourselves over the years. When
you've embraced a more open and progressive theology, how do then find ways
to worship that better align with these values?
The bottom line: it's hard to keep singing songs about substitutionary
atonement and total depravity when those things are no longer the crux of
your faith. We've had quite a journey with this topic, and it turned out we
had a lot to say about where we've found great resources and music to help
the people who attend the church we pastor worship in a way that aligns
with our mission to help people come alive in the truth that they are
loved, liberated, and empowered. You might even be surprised to hear that
we didn't completely ditch the whole traditional church music catalog...
listen in as we share our thoughts and journey around this issue that so
many progressive Christians seem to encounter.
