Exploring Hillsong "From the Inside Out" (w/ Dr. Tanya Riches)
Manage episode 306206998 series 2998667
We talk Hillsong history, theology, and music with insider and scholar Dr. Tanya Riches. Dr. Riches is a former songwriter and worship leader at Hillsong Church and now serves as senior lecturer and masters program director at Hillsong College in Sydney, Australia. The basis of our conversation is her recent co-edited volume (with Tom Wagner) The Hillsong Movement Examined: You Call me Out Upon the Waters (Charis, 2017). We talk about the gifts and challenges of studying megachurch communities, worship identity, and cultivating a scholarly community that can sustain a dialogue with the community members themselves. Dr. Riches sets a generous table—have a listen!
