Listen to Joel Augé, Chief Growth Officer at Crossroads being interviewed by veteran journalist Lorna Dueck. In this episode, Joel talks about Royal Anthems, a new project which aims to cultivate the spiritual movement that is happening and reinvigorate Canadian worship music production by unifying, distributing, and building infrastructure for worship pastors and worship leaders across Canada to write songs.
- Royal Anthems Songs Camp Produces 16 New Songs: At the first camp, worship leaders from 10 provinces were represented. Although most of them had never written songs before, by the end of the camp they had written 16 new songs!
- "Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!" Psalm 96:1. There are spiritual things happening and we're joining in. It's a call to the Canadian Church to join in on what is already happening with new songs.
- Why Doesn't the Canadian Church Sing Canadian Songs? Because we as the Canadian church haven't been creating songs. The Royal Anthems project is building the infrastructure to enable Canadian worship pastors and leaders to write songs.
- Scripture is a Songwriting Guidebook: Aligning song lyrics with the Words of Scripture enables worship leaders to ensure that the words they are putting into the mouths of believers is the Truth.
- Why Start Sunday Worship with Praise Music? A soft, fertile heart is more likely to grab onto the lessons He wants to teach us. And music for some reason does that.
