How do music artists create meaningful stories through song? Blake Flattley, (singer-songwriter; Director of Worship Arts, Concordia University Irvine) joins Andy and Sarah from the Getty Sing! Conference to talk about what he gets to do as a singer-songwriter, how hymns have been an important part of his life, what goes into writing new hymnody for the church, how The Songwriter Initiative from Concordia Irvine adds music to the church’s repertoire, and the collaboration he’s been able to do with Lutheran Braille Workers.
Find the collaborative songs with Lutheran Braille Workers at lbwloveworks.org, and follow Blake on Instagram @blakeflattley.
As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
