In this episode of The Chorus in the Chaos, Jack sits down with Greg De Blieck, hymn writer and leader of New Scottish Hymns, to explore the deep connection between music, theology, and worship.

Greg shares his story of growing up in Scotland, his love for hymnody, and his passion for writing songs that communicate biblical truth with clarity and beauty. Together, Jack and Greg discuss:

  • The power of music to shape culture, community, and faith

  • The role of hymns in encouraging believers beyond Sunday worship

  • Theological foundations for music as communication and communion

  • The Reformers’ cautious yet profound view of music in the church

  • Practical wisdom for pastors, elders, and worship leaders choosing songs for corporate worship

  • The dangers of Christian celebrity culture and why the local church must remain central

From folk influences in Scottish hymnody to reflections on Tolkien, Lewis, and Isaac Watts, this episode offers a rich and thoughtful conversation about why music matters—and how it can point us more fully to Christ.
