Worship music isn't just about the latest release—it’s a window into how generations before us thought about God. When we only listen to modern worship, we risk becoming blind to our own biases. Sometimes, it takes an old hymn to reveal just how much our theology has been shaped by the trends of today. Want to grow in discernment? Don’t skip the “old stuff.”
Just think for a moment about the songs your church sings or what you hear on Christian radio or streaming platforms. What are the lyrics most often about? What are the theological assumptions? What buzzwords keep showing up? Now—how would those compare to the songs written by earlier generations of Christians?
Sometimes, the best way to recognize the blind spots of our era is by listening to the voices of the past. In this episode, we explore how worship music—old and new—shapes our theology more than we realize.
