Permissions, Podcasts, and Bumper Music

What does it take to get permission to (legally) use published music on a podcast as bumper music?

Apparently, quite a bit, as our friend Steve Brown recently discovered.

Happy Clappy Worship

The White Horse Inn podcast recently completed a look at modern day worship.  Episodes can be downloaded via iTunes or at this webpage.  Episodes included:

What is Worship?
Is worship something to be done once a week, or every minute of our lives? Why do we worship at all? Continuing their discussion of Soli Deo Gloria, the White Horse Inn hosts will be taking a look at the purpose and meaning of worship.

Worship in Spirit & Truth
Jesus told the Samaritan woman that true worship was to be done in "spirit and truth." But what does it really mean to worship God in spirit and truth? Tune in to this edition of the White Horse Inn to find out!

Heavenly Worship
Recorded before a live audience in Washington D.C., Michael Horton, Ken Jones and special guest Brian Lee discuss a heavenly perspective on worship, as they interact with many themes found in the book of Hebrews. The White Horse Inn: know what you believe and why you believe it!

O Come Let Us Adore Him
On this special edition of the White Horse Inn recorded in our nation's capital, Michael Horton, Ken Jones and special guest Brian Lee discuss Christ-centered worship and the importance of the incarnation.

Happy Clappy Worship
Contemporary Christian worship is almost exclusively upbeat and "happy-clappy." But is this the type of worship that is pictured for us in the book of Psalms? Tune in to this "best of" edition of the White Horse Inn to find out

"Don't Waste Your Life" Video Podcast

From Desiring God Ministries:

Starting this week and over the next 12 months we will be releasing short video podcasts designed to be a weekly encouragement and challenge to not waste our lives. As the Lord provides, our plan is to produce at least 100 hundred episodes. Every episode will take a theme from the book, Don’t Waste Your Life, and challenge us to think about what we are doing with the lives the Lord has given us. We are encouraging everyone with a website, blog, etc. to use any of these episodes to spread the message around the world. We are praying that many who would never read the book may be impacted in a significant way by watching one of these podcasts.

Subscribe to the video podcast. (You can also subscribe in iTunes.)

We've highly recommended this book in the past at worship.com

Passion Podcast

From Passion:

Connecting the world on the journey to Atlanta, the Passion07 Podcast is up and running. Check out the first of several episodes that will feature interviews with Passion speakers (Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, John Piper, Beth Moore) and musicians (Charlie Hall, Matt Redman, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder), while giving you all the latest news of this year's gathering. There's some pretty important news about Passion's future at the end of this week's episode, so check it out and pass it on.

The first episode features an interview with Louie and also includes a preview of a cut called "Shine" from Matt Redman's new CD, Beautiful News CD due to be released on December 26.

Don't miss next week's interview with John Piper.  Louie says "there's going to be a little wrinkle in the John Piper interivew you are not going to believe."

Incidentally, hotels are filling up fast in Atlanta.  College student? Register now.  Prices go up December 1 and there won't be a Passion '08.

Louie Giglio : Tattoo

Louie Giglio has a video series called "Tattoo" online at 7:22 org.  The three messages, delivered this past summer to several thousand young singles in Atlanta, are entitled:

1. Marked by the Cross
2. Pure Light
3. Touch of Heaven

It's a good series taking a look at what the real "alternative" lifestye of a Christian should look like, filled with grace but marked by holiness.  Interesting sidenote: this series was kicked off after Louie surfed around MySpace and read profiles of college-age students claiming to know Christ, to go to church or have Jesus as their hero but whose profiles, comments, language, preferences and photos reflected a love and preference for darkness, not holiness and light.  (and, no, Louie doesn't have an account at MySpace--the "louie site" there is an imposter)

Also, his series "Indescribable", which ties in to the song of the same name recorded by Chris Tomlin and written by Perimeter Church worship leader Laura Story-Elvington, is still online at the website of Louie's home church, North Point Community Church.  You can buy a DVD of this message at the Passion store (the one recorded at North Point or the one recorded through Passion).  Here's the summary of that message:

The heavens are telling the glory of God, and their expanse declares the work of His hands. Night after night they remind us of just how small we are, and how huge God is. Looking out into the far reaches of the universe, we find a seemingly infinite expanse of mystery and wonder, intricately fashioned by a God of unfathomable size and power. Just a glimpse of one of the billions of visible galaxies He has formed resizes us, shrinking us, and the world we call home, to seeming insignificance in an instant. But as tiny as we may seem, the God who knows every star by name also knows yours, and mine. And in the most stunning rescue imaginable, God sent His Son to this spinning planet we call home--the Creator reconnecting us to Himself with life that never ends.

Indescribable takes us on an image-rich journey through the cosmos, allowing us to peer into God's universe to discover the amazing magnitude of His greatness and grace.

On  a related but separate note, sad news from Multnomah is that Louie and Matt Redman's forthcoming book tentatively titled "Lost in Wonder" has been put on the backburner and won't be released this fall as expected.

Ravi Zacharias Podcasts

Just Thinking and Let My People Think are two fine podcasts from Ravi Zacharias Ministries, an "international ministry that powerfully mixes biblical teaching and Christian apologetics. These programs seek to explore issues such as life's meaning, the credibility of the Christian message and the Bible, the weakness of modern intellectual movements, and the uniqueness of Jesus Christ." 

Born and raised in India, Ravi is one of the most gifted, well-educated defenders of the gospel you'll find anywhere. Podcasts are often from college campuses and feature Q&A sessions from skeptical audiences.  Good source for those interested in understanding world views, philosophy, and theology, especially those looking in the academic world.
