Another in the Vineyard series of Training interviews with respected worship leaders. In the spotlight this time is Vineyard UK's Brenton Brown, who, according to the sleevenotes, hails "from South Africa and the UK" (?). Now based in Oxford, Brenton is the author of classics like "Lord, Reign In Me", "Hallelujah (Your Love Is Amazing)" and the sublime "Humble King". He relates the origins of that song here and has plenty of other illuminating testimonies and advice to share (50 mins total); I found his thoughts on 'Preparing a set" and "Songwriting mistakes" especially interesting. Other subjects include "Establishing Flow", "Mentoring Others", "Co-writing" and "Blue Sky Mining"! For Brenton, good theology is essential to good writing and so lyrical content is of supreme importance. Though a specialist resource, I've gotta say I found Brenton's "inside story" on worship writing/leading genuinely interesting.
