From Called To Music Podcast · 1:10:40
Show by Bryan Boliver
Channing Gillespie told God he was never going to do ministry. Then a men's conference in Hendersonville changed the direction of his whole life.Channing is the worship pastor at Belle Aire Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and a songwriter whose songs are sung in churches around the world. That includes Praise Upon Praise, which he wrote with Josh Duncan and which Shane and Shane released.In this conversation, Channing shares how a pastor's kid who wanted nothing to do with ministry finally said yes. He talks about the night he stopped running, the years he spent chasing the deal in Nashville, and the moment his wife told him to stop the hustle so he would know it was God who opened the door.We also talk about the filter he uses for every song he writes: if my girls can sing it, my church can sing it. And he shares a picture from Leviticus about carrying ashes outside the city that I have not been able to stop thinking about.If you are a worship leader, a songwriter, or anyone who feels called to music and wonders if the pressure to be seen is the point, this one is for you.Join the Called to Music Facebook groupWatch the full conversation on YouTubeEverything in one placeBook a one hour coaching call with meChanning on InstagramBelle Aire Baptist ChurchCalled to Music is the relaunch of the Christian Songwriters Podcast, with 100+ episodes behind it.
