Why We Need Diversity
In Church Music

with
Robby Valderrama

Episode 35

Welcome to the Rustic Songbird Podcast!


Are you a musician who participates in the church praise and worship team? Do you ever wonder if there's more than just singing the same songs over and over? Have you seen a need for representing multi-ethnic and multi-cultural music in your local church?

In this episode, Lydia Walker interviews Robby Valderrama about the need for diversity in our churches, and specifically how songwriters and musicians can impact the music by serving in the local church.

Robby is the host of the Praise Hands Podcast, and offers resources and advice for forward-thinking Christian leaders at www.thechurchahead.org.
