18. 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.”

17. 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.”

15. 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.

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.”

14. 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.”

11. 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.”

8. 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.”
