on? In this episode of Worship Is My Weapon, Rita sits down with rogue songwriter Andy Squyres — a poet who refuses to play by the rules of Christian music.
Andy shares how his journey as a lyricist was shaped by Kevin Prosch, British pop bands, and the raw storytelling of Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. Together, Rita and Andy unpack the tension between faith, suffering, and the pressure to only speak positively about God.
They wrestle with why the church needs more rouge writers — artists who aren't afraid to tell the truth, even when it makes people uncomfortable.
If you're longing for a more honest articulation of faith — one that makes space for doubt, lament, and impossible circumstances — this conversation is for you.
