Hi friends. We hope you had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy New Year this weekend. I am vacationing in sunny Florida and will return on January 4, so there is no “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” column this week. I will return with that Monday series on January 11. But look for a brand new video Q&A here this Wednesday, featuring Josh Dix (Worship Pastor for The Journey Church in St. Louis) and Sojourn Worship & Arts Pastor Mike Cosper.
And if you haven’t had a chance to check out the new Inside Sojourn yet, visit iTunes or your favorite podcast directory for these free audio downloads:

We recorded both sessions from the November 2009 Louisville Boot Camp, here at The 930 Art Center, Sojourn’s home in the Germantown neighborhood of Louisville.
We’ve got other Sojourn Community related audio interviews at Inside Sojourn as well, and a repeat of this 2008 lecture at The 930:
Art For The Church, From The Church and Facing The Church — Harold Best, author of Unceasing Worship and Music Through The Eyes Of Faith, speaks to Christian artists at The 930 Art Center, Sojourn’s Germantown campus (Louisville, KY). In this 38-minute discussion, Best highlights the special conditions for creating art for the church as well as art from the church but for the world. He also discusses how Christians should view art facing the church.
And next week Sojourn worship leader Lorie King begins podcasting again, in a new “Worship Song Series.” In each episode, you’ll learn how to use various worship songs in different settings within worship services. The first episode will focus on Matt Redman’s “Blessed Be Your Name.”
