Paul Baloche is our first 3-peat guest on the Beyond Sunday Podcast.


It’s probably because he’s saying something we need to hear. Matter of fact, Paul has been trumpeting the cause of the local church and being a Pastor to Worship Pastors for many years.


When I was a young, his songs helped to form my expression of worship. What I love about Paul’s music is how he’s always stayed true to who he is. He’s never tried to “reinvent himself”. He’s always written beautiful, catchy, simple songs of worship that connect with people of all ages.


In this conversation we talk about his new album, avoiding a jaded heart, being authentic on stage, and more. When most people ramble, it’s annoying. When Paul rambles, it’s time to take notes.


Enjoy!

Show Sponsor

The sponsor for today’s show is a simple, beautiful new app called Chordmatic. One of the skills any great worship musician needs is transposition. One week a song may be in B. Another week, it may be in D. Sometimes keys change on the fly. Chordmatic is one of the quickest ways I’ve seen to transpose chords right from your smartphone.


In the middle of a rehearsal, you can plug the chords in to the app and email it to everyone else on the team. I also love that you add your capo position to determine the proper key as well.


Check it out at getchordmatic.com. It’s a $1.99 well spent.
