Crafting glorious God-magnifying music for the new Christendom
Hey, I’m Brian!
I’m the pastor of Refuge Church, husband to Lexy, and father to seven kiddos. I’m Reformed and Protestant, Paedobaptist, Postmillennial, and Patriarchal—and several other things that tend to bother the good people on social media. But I’m sure all of you are cool.
Brian’s new album is here!

Grab a mug, get your kiddos some Psalm-singing tee shirts, and help make music for the new Christendom (free shipping on most items in the US).
“Christians should make the best music—and not just the kind we sing in church.”
Some of the greatest works of art, music, and architecture in human history were funded and produced by Christians. This shouldn’t surprise us. If Jesus is Lord, and if all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him, then those called by His name ought to be more acquainted with truth, goodness, and beauty than any others.
So why is the state of Christian music so abysmal? Why are the most popular releases with the tag “Christian” on the Spotify playlists all products of bland, emotionalistic megachurchianity Let’s change that. Let’s make great music for all of life. Music to sing in church and to dance with your wife in the living room.

Life Among This Death
Making melody for the new Christendom
God’s people are a singing people; singing is not an optional accessory to the Christian faith. From the battle cries of Israel to the inner room of the Last Supper to the cathedral chants of the Medieval saints, the Church knows how to make a joyful noise.
One thing is certain: All true reformation is accompanied reformation. God’s transformed people will be a singing people—and singing Psalms and hymns transforms God’s people. So a few years ago, we began working to make music for the new Christendom, including fresh settings of the Psalms, original hymns, and even a sea shanty or two.
If you’d like to join the brigade and help make more music for the new Christendom, bcome a patron today.
