JOHN CHISUM: Three Steps To Grow Your Calling As A Christian Songwriter
06/05/23 • 19 min
Welcome to the Song Revolution podcast! In today's episode, we dive into what it takes to grow in your calling as a worship songwriter. Stepping deeper into your calling as a Christian songwriter requires prayer, self-assessment, and action. By seeking God's guidance, honing your skills, and actively pursuing your passion, you can embark on a fulfilling journey of creating music that touches lives and brings glory to God. Here are three key steps to help you dive into your calling as a Christian songwriter:
- Seek God's guidance: Take time to pray and ask God about your specific mission as a songwriter. Discover who He has called you to reach and the message He wants you to convey through your songs. Understand your target audience, their musical preferences, and where they consume music, in order to create songs that resonate with them.
- Assess your talent and musicality: Evaluate your strengths and weaknesses in writing lyrics, melodies, or playing musical instruments. Identify areas where you need improvement and consider investing in training and education to enhance your songwriting skills. Remember that passion and desire are essential, and with dedication and commitment, you can develop your craft.
- Take action: Don't wait for inspiration to strike; actively engage in the process of songwriting. Start by writing new songs, recording demos, or seeking opportunities to perform or collaborate with other musicians. Trust that as you take steps forward, God will guide and direct your path, opening doors and revealing new opportunities along the way. Embrace the journey and be proactive in pursuing your calling as a Christian songwriter.
