However, the inspired authors are concerned that God's people sing when they gather. This means that though the use of instruments may be warranted according to Scripture, it is of most importance that the church's music adorn the voices of God's people. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the value of a cappella singing. They also profile the hymn "Not What My Hands Have Done" by Horatius Bonar.

2020-11-2725 minHymn Talk20. Spurgeon and Activism - “Come Ye Sinners”Charles Spurgeon is not only one of the most influential Baptists in church history, but he remains one of the most prominent evangelicals that has ever lived. Known primarily for his writing and preaching in London, he’s less remembered for his activism and mercy ministry. Thankfully, Alex has just finished a dissertation on this aspect of Spurgeon’s life. In this episode, Zack interviews Alex on the topic, and they also profile Joseph Hart’s hymn “Come Ye Sinners.”
2020-10-2825 minHymn Talk19. The Lord’s Supper - “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”The Lord’s Supper holds different levels of prominence in different church traditions. For Roman Catholics and many Reformers, Communion is the central feature of gathered worship. Yet many modern evangelicals in the free church tradition, particularly baptists, tend to have a lower view of the Lord’s Supper. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the biblical place of this sacrament in Christian experience. They also profile the hymn “O Sacred Head Now Wounded.”
Listeners will notice Alex’s audio is poor at times. This was due to technical difficulties that will be improved for future podcasts.
2020-10-2222 minHymn Talk18. Hymns and the Heart - “Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners”Evangelicalism has historically been called the “religion of the heart.” Evangelicals have always proclaimed the indispensability of a personal attachment to Jesus. Such “heart religion” has always led to the writing of biblically rich hymns that foster a vital relationship with the Lord. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the intersection between hymns and the heart - namely, how Christian singing nurtures personal devotion to Christ. They also discuss John Wilbur Chapman’s hymn “Jesus, What a Friend of Sinners.”

2020-08-2522 minHymn Talk17. On Missions and Worship - “All Creatures of Our God and King”Psalm 67 celebrates the saving power of God to the nations and the praise rendered to Him for his salvation. The glory of God has always been the ultimate goal of missions. As John Piper has helpfully argued: “missions exist because worship doesn’t.” In this episode of Hymn Talk, Zack and Jimmy (a missionary to South Asia) discuss the intersection between missions, worship, and congregational singing. They also discuss the 13th century hymn “All Creatures of Our God and King.”
2020-08-1425 minHymn Talk16. On the Spirit – “Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God”A robustly biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit is vital to Christ-centered worship. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the indispensable ministry of the third person of the trinity. They also profile the hymn “Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God” by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend.
2020-08-0426 minHymn Talk15. Catechisms, Creeds, and Confessions - “Christ our Hope in Life and Death”Catechisms, creeds, and confessions are wonderful tools given to the church to defend the faith. These liturgical elements aid Christians in maintaining unity, adorning our worship, and connecting us to saints of the past. Sadly, creeds and confessions are thoroughly neglected in the free church tradition. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the value of catechisms, creeds, and confessions. They also profile the hymn “Christ our Hope in Life and Death.”
2020-07-2225 minWalking TogetherEpisode 11: On DisciplingAs a follow up to Pastor Alex's recent sermons on Titus 2, Alex and Zack DiPrima discuss discipleship in the local church.
2020-07-1521 minHymn Talk14. On God’s Providence – “Whate’er My God Ordains is Right”Scripture teaches that God governs and ordains all things that come to pass. This truth is typically presented in the Bible to instruct and encourage God’s people. Yet Christians tend to think little about God’s providence. Zack and Alex discuss this topic along with the hymn “Whate’er My God Ordains is Right.”
2020-06-3031 minHymn Talk13. On Songs of Praise - “Praise to the Lord the Almighty”Every song in gathered worship should render praise to God. Doxology should be the governing principle through each element of worship. Yet we believe it’s appropriate for certain songs to strike a pronounced note of praise in a worship service. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss how to best understand songs of praise. They also review the hymn “Praise to the Lord the Almighty.”
2020-06-1923 minHymn Talk12. On Majesty - “Holy, Holy, Holy”In an age when “nothing is sacred,” how should Christians try to convey the majesty of God in worship and congregational singing? Zack and Alex discuss this topic along with Reginald Heber’s hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy.”
2020-06-0430 minHymn Talk11. On Privilege in Worship – “How Sweet and Awful is the Place”In an age where “privilege” is a buzzword, Christians should be the first to celebrate their privilege. Christians are not only redeemed from sin, saved to righteousness, and assured of everlasting life. They are also pleased to be made worshipers of the risen Christ. This privilege is most fully realized in this life when the church gathers to worship. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss why and how Christians should reclaim a sense of privilege in worship and congregational singing. They also review Isaac Watts’ classic hymn “How Sweet and Awful is the Place.”
2020-05-2626 minHymn Talk10. On Christian Assurance - “He Will Hold Me Fast”One of the chief blessings of the Christian faith is the Spirit-wrought assurance of salvation. Hymns and congregational singing play a tremendous role in bolstering our faith. In this episode, Zack and Alex navigate the Bible’s teaching on Christian assurance as well as challenges to the doctrine in human experience. They also review Matt Merker’s wonderful hymn “He Will Hold Me Fast."
2020-05-2028 minHymn Talk9. On Christ’s Priesthood - “Before the Throne”Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is gloriously ascended to the right hand of God where he serves as a great high priest. This ministry has enormous implications for believers. Yet Christ’s priesthood can often be one of the most neglected doctrines in Christian experience. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the impact of Christ’s priesthood on congregational singing. They also review the hymn “Before the Throne.”
2020-05-1422 minWalking TogetherEpisode 7: Godly Time ManagementIn this week's "Walking Together" podcast, Pastor Alex DiPrima is discussing "Godly Time Management."
2020-05-0835 minHymn Talk8. When Hymns are Prayers - “Come Thou Fount”One of the chief advantages of congregational singing as an element of worship is its intrinsic involvement of the congregation. Yet Christians can still fail to see the precise ways they engage with God in corporate singing. Many of the best hymns are themselves prayers and petitions. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the intersection between congregational singing and prayer. They also review Robert Robinson’s classic hymn “Come Thou Fount.”
2020-05-0524 minHymn Talk7. Why Sing New Songs? – “Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor”With such a fine heritage of songs and hymns from previous generations, why is it important for Christians today to write new songs? Why should churches introduce new songs? Who are some trusted sources for new songs? Zack and Alex discuss this topic and review one of their favorite hymns by Matt Papa and Matt Boswell, “Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor.”
2020-04-2819 minHymn Talk6. Why Sing Psalms? – “Psalm 51”The Book of Psalms serves as a Holy Spirit-inspired hymnbook. The 150 chapters of the Psalter convey the full spectrum of Christian experience. Despite the richness of the Psalms, most churches find little use for them in congregational singing. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the relevance of singing Psalms as well as practical ways of incorporating them in gathered worship.
2020-04-2124 minHymn Talk5. Is Singing for God or Us? - “For All the Saints”Why do Christians sing? Is the purpose of Christian singing to glorify God or to benefit people?

2020-04-1423 minHymn Talk4. Atonement Matters - “Man of Sorrows”In this special Good Friday episode, Zack and Alex discuss the nature, extent, and importance of the atonement and its impact on congregational singing. They also review the hymn “Man of Sorrows” by Philip Bliss.
2020-04-1032 minHymn Talk3. What is Gospel-Centered Singing? – “Christ the Solid Rock”What does it mean for worship to be gospel-centered? What does it mean for worship to be Christ-centered? Does every song in a worship service need to explicitly reference the person and work of Jesus Christ? In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the meaning and importance of gospel-centered singing. They also review the classic hymn “Christ the Solid Rock.”
2020-04-0717 minHymn Talk2. What Songs Do We Sing?How does a local church decide what songs to sing? How do leaders in the church introduce new songs to the congregation?
