Journeying Through Lent with Watts Hymns

Easter is the ultimate party for God’s people. We can stare Satan, sin and death straight in the eye and confidently proclaim the victory we share because of the resurrection of Jesus. In the weeks leading up to this main event, we have a great opportunity to remember why this win tastes so sweet. Lent is the forty-day journey to this celebration, where we recall the bitterness of our own sin and recognize our great need for mercy. Daily repentance, fasting, prayer and reflection on God’s word mark this journey. Few hymn writers covered this dichotomy of tastes, bitter vs. …« Read Entire Post

Listen For Free To Our “We Ain’t ‘Fraid Of No Ghost” Halloween Playlist

A couple weeks ago I created a 30-song Spotify playlist, featuring many worship songs — from a variety of styles — that my wife (worship leader Kristen Gilles) & I love. I also included a note, from a songwriter’s perspective, on free streaming versus paid downloading and physical purchases. Then I thought, “Sojourn Music folks love to write songs that honestly depict the reality of horror and suffering, and love to write about Christ’s victory “Over the monster Death, and all his frightful powers.” So without any further ado, click here to listen freely to songs by Sojourn and by …« Read Entire Post

Celebrate Reformation Day and Pre-Order Our New Christmas Album

Christmas at Sojourn has always been a unique thing. From the first year in the life of the church, we’ve been fascinated by the more gritty side of the Christmas story. The church fathers chose the darkest time of the year to celebrate the dawning of the Light of Lights in the birth of Christ, the entrance of hope into darkness. The Christmas story itself is one of contrasts – God as a baby. A king in a manger. His birth was welcomed not by crowds and royalty, but by outcasts and foreigners. Because the Christmas story is ultimately a …« Read Entire Post

Free New Worship Music For You, & A New Website

I grew up in an End Times cult. But my parents listened to a lot of gospel music, which was the way in which I most often and clearly heard the gospel. Then my early 20s I worked in southern gospel radio, where I first worked alongside many Southern Baptists, independent Christians and other believers of the true gospel. This chain of events instilled a desire in me to celebrate, encourage and write Christ-centered lyrics, like you hear on our Sojourn albums. I also learned to love clear gospel presentations and evidences of the Bible as one grand, coherent story, …« Read Entire Post
