Sing a New Song

Send us Fan MailMusic carries a power that transcends mere entertainment—it shapes our spirits, influences our emotions, and can either draw us closer to God or lead us astray. In this soul-stirring conversation, Purpose Williams welcomes longtime friend and gospel artist Demorris Kid Sr. to explore the profound connection between faith and musical expression.Together, they dive into scripture's perspective on singing, examining how the combination of powerful words and melody creates something uniquely potent in both spiritual warfare and worship. Drawing from Psalms 71:23 and 96:1, they unpack what it means to "sing unto the Lord a new song" and how our musical choices reflect our spiritual condition.The discussion takes fascinating turns as they share personal stories about growing up in church where music was central to their faith formation. Despite sometimes resenting the long hours of choir practice and services as children, both now recognize how those experiences provided a foundation that kept them anchored even during periods of straying from formal worship.Demorris offers raw honesty about his journey as a musician, acknowledging that he hasn't always created music that edifies God. His evolution as an artist mirrors his spiritual growth, leading to a deeper understanding of his responsibility to produce content that glorifies Christ rather than simply entertaining audiences. When he describes his current approach as "letting Him come out," listeners get a glimpse of what authentic, Spirit-led creativity looks like.Perhaps most compelling is their practical advice about being discerning with musical choices—not just for ourselves but for our children. As Purpose powerfully states, "You don't feed them rotten food, do you?" The episode culminates in a live musical performance by Demorris, demonstrating his unique sound and heartfelt lyrics centered on surrender to God's will.Whether you're a musician, a worship leader, or simply someone who loves music, this conversation will challenge you to consider how your musical consumption and creation aligns with your faith.
