Welcome to the Gospel Coalition podcast, where we help to renew and unify the contemporary

church in the ancient gospel. Today's podcast is a panel discussion on music and liturgy in the church.

It was recorded at our

2025 national conference, and the panelists are Matt Boswell, Ligand Duncan, Keith Getty, and

Sandy Wilson. Well, let's go ahead and begin the formal part of the panel.

Maybe we can have a chance for questions at the end.

I don't know.

We have a limited time, just 45 minutes.

I'd like to open with prayer.

I'll introduce who we've got here with us, and then I've got a few questions for them.

Let's pray together.

Father, we do thank you for the music that you've given our souls because of the revelation of your being and your works, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As we think in this time together

in this room about the music of your church, the worship of your church, the ways in which we express the praise of your

glorious grace, please give us wisdom in this conversation, that all of us may be an

encouragement one to the other, that our worship may please you in every aspect. So we pray all

of this in the blessed name of Jesus Christ,

the head of the church. Amen. Well, let me introduce, you know, Keith Getty. He and Kristen have

been singing and leading us in singing through their hymn writing for years and years. Keith,

we're just so grateful for your ministry and

their generosity to continue to give their gifts to so many. Keith, last time I was in your house,

you had about 20 musicians in there. It's your invitation. You were all just creating together,

fellowshiping together, and really enjoying a community of worship leaders. and it's great to have you on this
