    Hey,
    Thanks for the honor of interviewing me!

    Another great interview!

    "I predict (and hope to see) a return to a more simplistic approach to worship that is accessible to everyone, singable, and corporate-friendly."

    Totally agree.

    "That we just can’t sing notes much higher than D-E …. drop the superstar vocal ranges and arrange songs that normal congregants can
    actually sing with passion!"

    Yes yes yes!! The trickle down effect is that now songwriters in our church think they can write melodies that have this ridiculous range and fly all over the place - making it impossible for Joe Christian to sing on Sunday morning.

    Great Interview! Fred's the dude!

    I've just added consumingworship.org to my reader.

    God's Best,

    Fred,
    I really feel you on the value of both super-well done production worship and simple lo-fi worship. I believe in a strong place for both flavors.

    I'm writing as a guy who works in the same office as Fred. He is a worship LEADER. This guy's life teaches me so much about leading well and doing it all with excellence.

    Be blessed Fred. You bless us all the time.

    I want to thank Fred for this week's interview. Reading his responses was a delight.

    Thanks to Chris, Billy, Chris and Joel for stopping by (and anyone else who didn't comment).

    Russ, nice to meet another fellow worship leader. I'm adding you to my blogroll/feedreader as well. Welcome to the party.

    Tomorrow, a special "worship confessional" from another continent altogether.

    That was a cool interview. I don't know too much about Fred but he seems like an interesting person.
