Why sing psalms? Does it matter how we sing them? For many, psalm singing is a nice idea (because they’re in the Bible), but not essential to the mission of the church. In this workshop, songwriter and worship artist Wendell Kimbrough shares from personal experience and biblical conviction why he believes the church cannot thrive without singing psalms. He shares the vision that informs his work as a songwriter and how he's connected the dots between the Great Commission, emotional wholeness, and the challenge of the psalms.
