The Faith We Sing: Country Music Edition

I Saw God Today.jpg

Join us as we begin our annual July Series entitled "The Faith We Sing." Each year we explore a different genre of music and ask ourselves, what is "the faith we sing" when we sing along to the music on our radios? If we are going to put these songs on our tongues and memorize the lyrics, do they accurately express our heart? And finally, where do we find gospel themes in this genre of music?

Over the years, we’ve explored everything from Disney, to Motown, to Broadway, and this year, we are headed down the dusty backroads of Country Music. We invite you along with us as we explore the Gospel according to Nashville. From George Strait to Dolly Parton to Rascal Flatts and more, we have a fun and surprising deep journey ahead!

This Sunday we will explore the theme “Finding” that is found in a myriad of forms in country music. While the stereotype often focuses on the lament of lost things in country music (dogs, trucks, wives), this stereotype is born out of the many songs that are about types of finding (finding love, home, self, child, parenthood, etc). If this is a part of the “Country Gospel,” how does it speak to the finding that we are promised in Scripture where we are told “the lost will be found?” Join us on Sunday to find out!
