I’ve been invited into podcast conversations before, but Colin Chapman and I had such a lovely conversation that I thought you might like to listen in.

Here’s the intro from the show: Some of most deeply embedded memories of church include the hymns we sang, or the sound of the church choir, organ, or other musical accompaniment. In this music themed episode, we spend all of our time with our guest, Ana Hernandez, as she and Colin explore the healing properties of music and how music and singing connect us to God, and plays a role in furthering our spiritual journey.

Warning: it’s 55 minutes long, because it’s really two conversations combined, so you might want to  break it up into bite-size bits. Red Church Door Podcast

Be safe out there. I’m sending you light and love,

Ana

This is Robert Lowry, composer of Shall We Gather at the River and also How Can I Keep From Singing, two hymns that have played a big role in my staying sane over the years. Listen to the Podcast for a good story about the former, and keep an eye out for a recording of the latter.
