Blog Entry #6: Phil Wickham has the best album

 Hi! It's Austin Manore again! In today's blog I'll be talking about MORE MUSIC! Anywho... have you ever overflowed with anticipation for your favorite artist to release a new album? Then listened to it over and over again? Well if you're into music like me, then you certainly have. Phil Wickham is my jam. In this blog, let's talk about why Phil Wickham's new album, "Song Of The Saints," is arguably his best! 


Phil Wickham has released over 28 albums. Some of his more popular albums being: "Hymn Of Heaven," "I Believe," "Children Of God," and so many more! Out of all 28 albums, Wickham's album "Song Of The Saints" has been deeply impactful (at least within my circle of friends). Let me point out some examples and entice you to listen.

For starters, Phil Wickham makes the first song of his album a real "banger" (for those of another generation, that means "really good")! The song is called "So So Good." The song, essentially, promotes God's goodness and asks us to consider God's faithfulness. "So So Good" is the type of song that turns your frown upside down on a rough day. The title of the song says it all (check out my link below to judge for yourself).

Finally, there's "Resurrection Story." This song is, arguably, the album's "chart-topper." To be fair, every song on the album is amazing, but this song does it all! The lyrics draw us to our brokenness (we are dead in our sins) and then draws us to the healing that Jesus brings through His resurrection from the grave! Phil reminds us that God gets all the glory for our "Resurrection Story." What a powerful song! Did I mention it turns your frown upside down?

Now, I know I only mentioned three of Phil's 16 songs; but, if those three songs were the only songs on the album "Song of the Saints," it would still excite those that populate heaven! "Why," you may ask? Well, because there has never been any other album in Phil Wickham's career that can change someone's life and make them want to get out of bed and start dancing. Like I mentioned in my last blog ("Entry #1"), "Music is therapy." If you take the time to put the headphones in (or, on) and listen to "Song Of The Saints" by Phil Wickham with a heart to find Jesus, your life will be changed forever! Wickham's songs are linked below--and they're available to you for free! Oh also, Wickham just came out with A DELUXE album so check that out!

Practice Entry #1: Worship blog

Image
 This is a blog about blogs and blogging! I have to be honest, I've never blogged before. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever even read a blog before today. So, my lack of blogging experience makes me the perfect "test subject" on what makes a great blog, what draws people to certain blogs, and what brings them back to the blog.  A little more about me: I love Jesus-centered worship. I love it so much, that I actually lead it at my church. I often search the internet for ideas about things like song writing, music techniques, and trends. It only made sense that I searched for blogs about worship! Here are my discoveries: Blog #1 My first discovery was a blog titled "Worship online". See my links below if you'd like to check it out! The thing that drew me to this specific blog was how easily laid out it was! As I was scrolling I was able to see all different types of post's and imagery, which provided me easy access to all different types of tutorials...

Entry #2: Why Apple Music is superior

 Hey everyone! It's me again, Austin Manore! As you may know, I love music. Like adore it. In my past blogs I talked about worship but today Im just going to chat with you guys about what I listen to music on and why its better then any other competitor out there! Lets just get it out of the way... I listen to music on Apple Music. So in this blog, I will be giving you guys 3 reasons why I think Apple Music is superior to any other listening platform out there! 1. Apple Music integrates with Apples ecosystem. Think about it, if you have an apple device you have probably used all sorts of their products like the iPhone, iMac, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, etc. Your library syncs automatically across all devices. With this tight of an integration it creates a smooth, polished experience that makes listening more cohesive than other music streaming platforms. 2. Apple Music also balances smart tech with human touch. I mean how cool does that sound! It is designed to learn your taste and...
