Worship Music for Kids with Shane and Shane

On the twelfth episode of the Family Discipleship Podcast the hosts (Adam Griffin, and Cassie Bryant) talk with Christian musicians Shane and Shane. 

Shane Barnard and Shane Everett have been writing music and leading worship for more than 20 years together. You can find them online at https://www.shaneandshane.com/ and on social media at https://www.instagram.com/shaneandshane/

Questions we asked Shane and Shane in this episode:

• You two have been leading people in worship for a long time. What does family worship look like in your home? Are y’all always singing?  
• What role do you think music can or should play in discipling a family? 
• What do you say to the father/mother who is not musically gifted?
• You’ve got a new album coming out for kids worship, “Worship in the Word.” Can you tell us some about the purpose of the project and how it came about? 
• Are there any songs on the album that really stick out to you personally? 
• What wisdom do you have for parents that are struggling to find music that their kids will love that doesn’t dishonor God? 
• How do you see these songs from your “Worship in the Word” album being used? What’s your vision for the impact that this kind of music could have?  
• Do you see these songs being something that are used in churches? How can/should a children’s minister benefit from the music y’all are putting out? 
• Why do you think God gave us the ability to sing? What does that tell us about God? 
• Before we let you go, would you mind sharing with us, what are the prayers you have for your kids right now? If our listeners want to pray for the Barnards and the Everetts, what can they ask God for on your behalf?

Some of our favorite quotes from Shane and Shane in this episode:

• “I want to be able to be a part of helping my kids be able to talk to God in song”
• “We do have real needs. At school, there’s all kinds of drama, there are all kinds of disappointments, and wants. We can go to God. We have songs that help us go to him.”
• “We don’t know what we’re doing other than trying to point our daughter to Jesus and keep an open dialogue.”
• “With this music or whatever music we create we want to whet the appetite for the word of God, period. That’s where wisdom is found.”
