My guest today is someone whose music has resonated deeply with worshippers around the world. Pat Barrett is not only a gifted musician but a passionate worship leader whose songs have helped countless people draw closer to the heart of God. From the global anthem “Good Good Father” to the personal and reflective songs on his latest project, Shelter, Pat’s lyrics carry a rare authenticity that invites us into real moments of worship, wonder, and surrender.
In this episode, I have the privilege of sitting down with Pat for a heartfelt and honest conversation. We dive into the creative process behind his newest album, exploring the themes of rest, refuge, and renewal that shaped Shelter. Pat opens up about how the chaos of life has actually led him to a deeper commitment to simplicity and spiritual clarity, and how that posture continues to influence both his music and his walk with Christ.
This is more than just a conversation about songwriting. It’s a look into the heart of someone who wants his art to reflect the peace and presence of God. Whether you’re a fellow musician, a worship leader, or someone looking to reconnect with God in a busy, noisy world, this episode offers inspiration, encouragement, and a much-needed reminder that the safest place we can be is in His presence.
Core verse for this series:
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
–Romans 12:2
