abandoned to Christ.

Early last week, I had the special blessing of attending a luncheon with Keith and Kristyn Getty at Redeemer Seminary in Dallas, Texas. Then, the very next day, God increased my blessing by allowing me to interview this lovely couple.

It's always a joy when the Lord connects me with saints in Christ who love the Him and are devoted to His Kingdom work with humility and integrity.

I really can't say enough about how genuinely kind, down-to-earth and pleasant both Keith and Kristyn are.

"Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interest of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus"

~Philippians 2:3-5

My interview with Keith and Kristyn reminded me our heavenly Father's command to love Him with everything we have and love others as Christ has loved us. I was greatly encouraged by their prominent love for Christ, His people, and for the lost.

What made you decide to write modern-day hymns? Why not be another Christian pop-artist?

We saw such a need for a new canon of hymnity. The Bible is readily available in many languages, but many Christians still remain biblically illiterate. We want to write lyrics that are theologically sound because, just like we are what we eat, we are what we sing too. People have a strong relationship with songs. What someone chooses to listen to says a lot about who they are and what matters most to them.

I agree. We have so much access to biblical teaching: books, sermons, online access, etc., but we don't use these resources as much as we could. Or if we do, we seek to find resources that are a quick fix for whatever ails us, rather than doing things the old way...just read the Scriptures.

When you first came to the US, you were at Alistair Begg's church. How did that happen and how and why did you move to Nashville, Tennessee?

We lived in Switzerland for the first year of our marriage. During that year, we made two tours to the US and Alistair saw us there. He also saw us in concert when he was in Switzerland once. We just kept bumping into him.

Alistair said he loved our hymns and wanted to support our ministry if we ever moved to America. So in 2006, we moved to America and made Parkside our home church for four and a half years.

When we wanted to start having a family, we didn't know if we would live in the UK, Ohio or Nashville. We wanted to have a bus family and felt we needed to get our creative juices rolling in new ways, so we chose to move to Nashville where we could learn more about the organizing and administrative part of music. It was almost like going back to school.☺

Two days after we arrived in Nashville, I got pregnant.☺

We've been in Nashville for three years now and we've met some great people and have been able to grow as a result of being there.

{Keith had to leave the interview at this point because he had a very important appointment to go swimming with their precious daughter Eliza. I told him that Daddy-Daughter appointments always trump interviews.}

Wow. God's ways and timing is always perfect! So, how often do you travel and how does that affect "normal" family life?

We love to travel because we get to travel together as a family. Eliza loves traveling too. We only travel 12 weeks out of the year: Fall Tour, Christmas Tour and Spring Tour. We tour primarily in the US, although we have done some UK tours. We can't commit to too many international tours since we're in the little kiddie years and having babies makes it difficult to travel internationally.☺

I bet it does. What a special blessing from the Lord that you get to work in a ministry you love and do it with the people you love. God is exceedingly kind!

Kristyn, as a wife and mother in ministry, how do you balance and maintain being a biblically submissive wife while being your husband's ministry partner?

I grew up with a dad who was a pastor and a mom who was a teacher. I grew up with the strong sense as my dad as the head of the family. I grew up with strong male leadership and have a strong leading husband who's an absolute pleasure and challenge to follow.☺ I want Eliza to grow up having this too.

When I stand up and sing I'm doing that with my husband...so I already have my headship there and really, we're doing it together.

Amen sister! I've loved watching you these past two days and how you interact with Keith and Eliza. I've been very encouraged by your biblical submission through your actions and words. Your love and respect for your husband is evident and it's truly the beautiful thing God talks about in 1 Peter 3.

Now, back to a musical question. Do you have any advice for Christian lyricists/musicians?

Whatever you put your hand to, it is important to stay close and accountable to your pastor and local church as well as maintaining a healthy devotional life—this helps keep the main things the main things.

In terms of writing songs specifically, find ways to keep the well of creativity within you replenished so you have something to draw from—through reading, conversation, personal study and reflection, and different creative works around you. Also, try and cultivate a vulnerability around people you trust to speak into your work. It can be painful and frustrating but more often than not, it makes the outcome better!

Is there a Scripture or passage you'd like to share with my readers?

Yes. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." ~Colossians 3:16-17

Above is a music video of one of the songs we sang at the luncheon. I absolutely fell in love with this hymn and wanted to share it with all of you, so we, as children of the Most High God, can join together, with one voice and praise His holy and awesome name!

What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people.

~Psalm 116:12-14

Below are the lyrics to the hymn "My Heart is Filled with Thankfulness" if you'd like to sing along.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To Him who bore my pain;

Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace

And gave me life again;

Who crushed my curse of sinfulness

And clothed me in His light

And wrote His law of righteousness

With pow'r upon my heart.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To Him who walks beside;

Who floods my weaknesses with strength

And causes fears to fly;

Whose ev'ry promise is enough

For ev'ry step I take,

Sustaining me with arms of love

And crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness

To him who reigns above,

Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,

Whose ev'ry thought is love.

For ev'ry day I have on earth

Is given by the King;

So I will give my life, my all,

To love and follow him.

The Getty's are expecting their second daughter to arrive in just a couple of months. Please keep them all in your prayers.

Keith and Kristyn will return to the Dallas, Texas area on Thursday, October 3, 2013 and will have a concert at the Meyerson Symphony Center at 8:00 p.m.

I mentioned in my last article, most of the public shaming implemented as a form of discipline have been exacted on daughters and not sons. So I want to take some time to shed light on why this is harmful to our girls and what they need to help them better understand who they are and why they exist.

First and foremost, our children, sons or daughters are not here to make up for any loss childhood dreams we’ve had. They were not created so we can boast about what great parents we are. And lastly, God never created them so that we can somehow feel “whole”.

God created every human being to know Him, His love and everlasting life through repentance and faith in His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Knowing the purpose in which they were created by our Creator, our primary goal as parents ought to be to share the Gospel with them, shower them with God’s grace and mercy and demonstrate in life and speech, what it means to live in the freedom Christ has given all who believe (Rom 6:6-7, 12-14).

God instructs us in His Word that we, the parents are to diligently disciple, that is, train up and teach our own children rather than expect the church, school curriculum or other outside influences to do it (Deut 6:5-9). While all these extra-familial sources may help guide a child, it is the parents primary responsibility to love, lead, train and protect.

When we neglect to obey God and apply the wisdom we can readily find in His Word, we exasperate our children and make them prone to anger and acts of rebellion.

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord...Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.”

~Ephesians 6:4, Colossians 3:21

God designed girls more delicately, and therefore we’re more easily bruised in every way: physically, emotionally and spiritually. God made females to be more relational than males and therefore, we require more stability and security in our lives—especially within our relationships. When someone breaks trusts with us, it’s very damaging and something very difficult to recover from.

When females are injured, we tend to react in extremes. We either completely fall apart and into depression, or we buck up and try to behave more like a man with a “take charge” attitude in order to protect ourselves since there doesn’t seem to be anyone else who’s willing to shield us from life’s pains.

Realizing this about girls, I find it disheartening that most of these abrasive, public shaming tactics have been used on precious, vulnerable and troubled girls.

Moms today seem to be so busy trying to remain looking and feeling youthful themselves, they behave more like their daughter’s competitor than their biggest cheerleader, confidant; and the older, wiser woman that every gal needs in her life...no matter her age (Titus 2:3-5).

Us moms need to remember what it was like for us when we were their age and how we felt about ourselves, the world around us, and the confusion about how exactly we fit in.

Dads neglect to spend enough quality time with their girls because they feel uncomfortable playing with dolls or doing other “girly” things. But girls aren’t one dimensional. We enjoy many other things like: dressing up and going to a play, having a nice “Daddy and Daughter Date Night”, going to the zoo while holding hands with Daddy, laughing together while having a tickle fight or enjoy snuggling with homemade popcorn and her favorite movie and so much more.

Dads need to stop making their girls feel like they need to be more like boys to get their father’s attention or approval. And mom’s need to stop making their girls feel “less than” in order to keep them in line.

Both mothers and fathers need to make sure their girls feel like a princess by treasuring them; telling her you love her at least a million times a day; daily complimenting her appearance, attitude, or whatever else you can find to encourage her...be creative!

Us parents need to aspire to have open, honest and friendly relations with our children, without ever becoming their “buddy” and wanting our kids to think we’re “cool”...that’s what their peers are for. For more on this, read, “Christian Parenting Goals 101”.

Much like our relationship with God, our children should fear us, but they shouldn’t be afraid of us. Reverent fear comes from love and respect. Being afraid comes from lack of trust and unhealthy fear that someone will do us harm. A child should never feel that way about a parent.

Loving our children doesn’t mean we always agree with them, it means we love them whether they do good or evil and we sacrificially spend ourselves to do whatever it takes, regardless of what it might cost us, to reach them for Christ. That’s what godly love looks like: it sacrifices for others and is willing to endure shame (like Christ on the Cross for our sake) for the greater benefit of others...not the other way around.

God’s powerful love is true, strong and stable like a rock. The world’s “love” is false, ooshy gooshy and has the viscosity of mud. Give your children God’s love and read your Bibles and get discipled by others who’ve gone ahead of you, so you can see what godly parenting looks like.

Loving our children means we discipline them daily in accordance with God’s Word, and not just when they do something wrong.

Bottom line: Girls need private and public security, not private and public disgrace.

Below are some good and soundly biblical resources to help parents train up their children in the Way (of Christ) they ought to go.

May we all, as parents, have a healthy fear of God and remember that our children are not our own, but they were created by God; and one day, we'll have to answer to Him about how we decided to raise them.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the latest story about Utah dad, Scott Mackintosh who donned a pair of homemade Daisy Duke-like shorts while on a family outing, to convince his 19-year-old daughter Myley that her choice of immodest apparel was unacceptable.

Prior to this latest escapade of child-shaming tactics as a form of discipline, there were others.

Back in April 2012, 15-year-old Quandria Bryant of North Carolina was made to carry a sign on Highway 17 in New Bern that said, “I have a bad attitude. I disrespect [sic] people who try to help me.” Her father Donnell employed this public shaming tactic after Quandria was suspended from school for her increasingly disrespectful attitude toward her ninth grade teachers.

My question is, was her dad involved prior to her disrespectful escalation that led to her suspension? As a parent, I know schools don’t do this without some warnings to the student and parents. So what forms of discipline, if any, were incorporated prior to this public shaming?

In March of this year, 13-year-old Kayla Nickell from Crestview, Florida was forced by her parents to hold a sign on the corner of Ferdon Boulevard and U.S. Highway 90 that said, “I’m a Self-entitled teenager w/NO Respect for authority. I’m also super smart, yet I have 3 ‘D’s’ because I DON’T CARE!”

The parents admit Kayla’s increasingly disrespectful attitude along with dropping grades happened after her uncle (whom she was very close to) was killed in December 2011 while serving in Afghanistan.

The Nickells claim they had to do this to Kayla because the loss was difficult for everyone in the family, but Kayla’s the only one who behaved so badly and they felt that “she kind of gave up.” Well of course she did. Isn’t this somewhat of a normal reaction...for anyone, child or adult?

Where’s the sacrificial love and understanding? Was there a family grief counselors involved? Did her parents daily provide her with a non-judgmental and safe place for her to share what she was feeling or thinking, no matter how ugly her thoughts and feelings might’ve been?

The Nickells claim to be Christians, so the greatest confusion I have is why didn’t they search God’s Word for His wise counsel? Why did they prefer to employ a shaming technique suggested by a “parenting coach” when Kayla was seven or eight?

Shortly after this incident, in May 2013, 10-year-old Kaylee was publicly shamed by her father’s long-time companion Ally, because Kaylee was bullying another fourth grader at school for how she dressed. After one reportedly ineffective conversation with Kaylee, Ally resorted to purchasing a wardrobe that would publicly humiliate Kaylee. Ally made her wear them to school for two days so Kaylee could see what it felt like to be bullied and taunted.

My first concern here is, Ally isn’t even Kaylee’s mother...not even her step-mother (which many stories purport, though Ally is not married to Kaylee’s father). Kaylee’s father has full custody of her (a rarity), which obviously means there are painful issue with her biological mother.

My next concern is, why did the teacher email Ally regarding Kaylee’s poor behavior at school, rather than her biological father? And why after only one conversation with a 10-year-old girl that didn’t immediately produce a repentant attitude, cause Ally to decide to publicly shame her as a form of discipline?

My goodness, if these exasperated schemes to discipline, teach a lesson or get a point across were exercised by our employers when we weren’t “getting it” at our jobs, how would that affect us...as adults? I mean, when’s the last time someone corrected you, and you immediately responded with a positive and agreeable attitude? Exactly. Most of us don’t, and we’re adults; yet we expect immature children to respond to difficult situations in life in a manner we don’t even expect from ourselves.

In reality, us adults have a lot of trouble getting through this life without some outbursts of disrespect to authority, allowing our pride to get away with us, refusing help from others and altogether behaving in unacceptable ways.

Though these public shaming campaigns seem to be on the rise and well applauded by both Christians and non-Christians, the question still remains—is it right?

I say it’s not, because I can’t find an example of this in God’s Word.

As a Christian, I’m granted the beautiful comfort and serene joy of knowing that God Almighty alone is perfect, and that His Word details all that any human being needs to navigate well through this life.

“Call to Me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known....The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.”

~Jeremiah 33:3, Psalm 19:7-9 (ESV)

I see three important things that appear to have been overlooked or purposely ignored in all the stories of public shaming (which are not exhausted in this article) as a form of discipline.

Most of these public shaming tactics have been exacted on daughters and not sons;
The consideration of each family’s unique dynamics have been neglected;
There’s more concentration on the child’s external behavior rather than on the condition of their heart.

In a day and age where truth is relative—morality, modesty and character seem to also have become…well, relative, and effectually extinct.

So what’s a parent to do? What is proper discipline for rebellious and wayward children? I’ll cover that in my next article, “Discipline: A Parenting Conundrum” which will include encouraging resources for parents to learn how to shape their child's will—leading them to Christ, rather than break their child's will—leading them to destruction.

Yesterday I had the blessing of interviewing Jimmy Needham: a young, 28-year old Christian, husband, father and someone who just happens to be a singer/songwriter. I say "just happens" because unlike most, the obvious career the Lord chose for Jimmy, is not the one he foresaw for himself.

Jimmy is a graduate of Texas A & M. His plans were to remain at his alma mater and teach Philosophy. But God inspired the heart of Jimmy's loving and supportive father to encourage him with an offer to fund Jimmy's first album, originally titled, "For Freedom" in 2005.

Three months after Jimmy posted songs from this album on MySpace, he received a call from the President of InPop Records who flew to Houston, Texas to meet Jimmy. InPop signed Jimmy with their label and publicly released his debut album, "For Freedom" under the new title, "Speak" in 2006.

It was after these two events, Jimmy realized, "this doesn't happen to everybody". Jimmy adds, "I was really sort of hesitant to get into this career, though I knew I could sing and write music. I knew a career like this...to be on stage, would impact my ego . I tried to avoid this career as long as I could. I'm doing this because God opened so many doors I didn't have to open myself."

With God's provision of unique musical talent, loving and supportive parents and the quick interest of a record label, Jimmy is mindful his life is not His own. Jimmy's life was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ and therefore, he strives to honor God with all he has.

Jimmy will be releasing his seventh, and second, independently labeled album, "The Hymns Sessions V1" on Tuesday, September 10, 2013—exactly eight years (to the day) that his father offered to fund his first record, "For Freedom". How cool is that? God truly is amazing!

Included in Jimmy's "The Hymns Session V1" are the following songs:

Christos Anesti (Christ is Risen) - Musically, this is an ethereal type song that reminds me of the song "Lament for Gandalf" from "The Lord of the Rings" movie. Jimmy is from a Greek Orthodox background and "Christos Anesti" is one of the Greek hymns he grew up singing at Easter time. When he was a young boy, he had no idea what it meant, but loved singing it anyway. He loves it even more now that he does know what the words mean. Jimmy said, "This is a cool homage to my past."
The Gospel - Is from his first album and is, I'd say like a contemporary pop with a subtle touch of bluegrass type song. I think this is another wonderful way for Jimmy to honor the blessed beginnings of his career from the Lord. My favorite lyrics are, "My sin was black as night. Bless His name. I'm not the same. The Gospel washed me white."
Rock of Ages - Is somewhat of a folk-type song with it's handclapping, tambourine playing percussion-driven music with what Jimmy calls, a "folk-pop vibe". As I listened I envisioned a large gathering of brothers and sisters in Christ in a beautiful field, dancing and rejoicing in God's goodness.
Come Thou Fount - Is done in a very lively and enjoyable, straightforward, four-piece jazz fashion. I really love this one...too. Actually, I absolutely love them all. They all have a different feel to it, but all with the same honor and reverence for God Almighty.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness (featuring Kevin Jones) - This song was simply done with an acoustic guitar and voices gifted by God to lift hearts to worship the King of kings and Lord of lords; just as He is due.
How Great Thou Art (featuring Trip Lee) - Trip Lee rewrote the first two stanzas of this classic hymn to fit it into a hip hop format. This hymn opens with Trip Lee's creative rap, then breaks into a more traditional type tune for the song, and finishes with a more soulful music feel, and a final rap from Trip Lee.
Holy Holy Holy (featuring Shane & Shane) - Is probably the most traditional rendition of the hymn with the beautiful organ music and background singing from Shane & Shane whose voices perfectly compliment Jimmy's unique style.
Joyful Joyful - Has a very enjoyable Motown feel to it and truly makes the listener desire to join in and sing joyful praises to the Lord Jesus Christ! It's difficult to listen to the rendition of this hymn and not dance...if you're alive, that is.
It Is Well - Is very cool! This was recorded live, played in one take, with no vocal tuning and it sounds fantastic! I really love this raw cut. It's truly a well done piece.
It Is Finished - Is a wonderful way to close this album. It's soothing, it's uplifting and finishes with a verse from "Solid Rock". Another wonderful gift to this piece is the talented violinist, who just happens to be Jimmy's precious and beautiful wife, Kelly.

What was the first song you wrote and recorded?

"Dearly Loved". I wrote and recorded that when I was in high school. To my surprise, it ended up being a number one radio single. I have a real desire to preach the Gospel to folks and I love doing that poetically. "Dearly Loved" is sort of an appeal to share the Gospel.

You're clearly gifted by God with musical talent and a unique singing voice. You could be making lots of money and gain more popularity by doing what some Christian artists have done— move to mainstream music. Why not follow suit? Why continue to write and sing about Jesus?

For me, it's really not so much a choice. The reality is I'm a songwriter and songwriters write from a place of inspiration...things they're passionate about...things they wrestle with. I'm most captivated by Jesus. When I sit down to write, it's more about what I just got hit by from a sermon at church, or a conversation with a neighbor, etc. I don't feel like I have to stick with a genre, I just write what I'm passionate about...the Gospel.

I noticed your lyrics are theologically sound as opposed to the typical contemporary Christian pop that seems to woo people more to their senses than to Christ and His Word. Why do you go through the trouble of making sure your lyrics are in line with sound doctrine?

I was thinking about that recently. At the end of the day, words matter. This point is made in the Word of God in the epistle of Paul. Paul says to Timothy multiple times to retain to sound doctrine. Reality is, I think that it's important to be fidelitas to the Gospel because the Gospel is news and if we tamper with that news, we're tampering with the key that is the door to God's Kingdom. It's important that we accurately communicate God's righteousness and our sin. I always try to take that seriously.

Folks I've always admired are songwriters who have always had that conviction about them.

My responsibility is just like a pastors—to accurately interrupt text and accurately preach it. It's hard to make truth rhyme, but that's the job of an artist who loves Jesus.

If any, what struggles have you had in pursuing God's calling in your life as a singer/songwriter; externally and internally?

My external struggles highlight my internal struggles. I think in this career and all that it entails, with the inherently competitive nature, has sort of brought to the surface a lot of garbage of personal pride issues. I don't know of a more dangerous profession for a Christian than doing what I'm doing.

My college pastor once told me, "The most dangerous place for a human heart is on stage." And he's right. I feel like every season I'm forced to grapple with a new set of insecurities. When another artist's career blows up I feel insecure, when I do well I deal with my pride. Honestly, I find it fairly taxing to constantly bring myself back to, "Am I promoting the name of Jesus or promoting the name of me?"

I agree with your college pastor. And if we're all honest, whether we're on a real stage like you, or on a virtual stage like me (as a writer), we all struggle with the same insecurities and pride. Unfortunately, I think that's why so many well-meaning Christian writers I personally know have fallen off the path of righteousness by believing their own press and popularity. When challenged with God's Word, they buck up thinking everything they do is biblical because they're doing it, and not because it's found in God's Word. Very heartbreaking.

How do you regain focus when this happens?

I've found lots of solace in meditating on Scripture, and specifically on the life of John the Baptist. In the beginning of John one, he's the man everyone comes to see. Near the end of John one, he gets to baptize Jesus. By John three, he's telling his disciples that his joy is full and that he must decrease and Christ must increase.

John the Baptist has been a role model for me. When I'm backstage, I remind myself of the same thing, "I must decrease and Christ must increase" whether the auditorium is full or near empty.

The ultimate antidote is to have a really large, robust view of Jesus in your sight. Because the larger He looms, the leveler the playing field becomes. Everyone seems petty and small compared to God's greatness. I just need to remember that He's the man, not me. If we have a large view of God, it helps to sort of put ourselves in the right place.

Why this hymns album and how did it all come about?

When we decided to make a second record after "Clear the Stage" we were vacillating between making a hymns cover record or Motown cover record. Ultimately, we decided it would be really cool to do a soulful, Motown feel, hymns album.

It's funny because this record was never meant to see the light of day. The whole record came out of the fact that the KickStarter campaign was so successful, I made the hymns record (a year ago) as a "Thank You" gift to the 300 people who supported my "Clear the Stage" project.

I personally called all 300 fans to thank them and when I asked how they were enjoying "Clear the Stage" I was surprised when many said, "Oh, I haven't listened to that yet. I'm still enjoying the hymns record."

Very cool. Is there a verse or passage of Scripture and a word of exhortation you'd like to share with my readers?

Yes, John 6:35. It's a verse I love and has shaped a lot of what I've been doing and has inspired many of the songs in "Clear the Stage". John 6:35 says, "Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life; whoever comes to Me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst.'" Jesus came that we might be fully satisfied in Him. Learning to appreciate Him helps me see that He meets my deepest soul hunger. I think it's probably the most essential and vital aspect of who God is for us; that He's not just some deity that's legally freed us from Hell, but that He's an enjoyable being that designed us to enjoy Him forever.

In a time where God's Word is watered-down and many artists and writers try so hard to make the Gospel more palatable to sinful ears and hearts, it's refreshing to know God still has His faithful soldiers out there who are fighting the good fight of faith with whatever resources He's provided them. With Jimmy Needham, it happens to be the power of song lyrics and the stage. Let's pray the Lord protect our brother Jimmy from the lure of stage lights and popularity so he can continue serving the Lord while being mindful of Who's name He represents—Jesus Christ the Lord.

I'm very grateful to God for His gift of truth that continues to prevail in a field that's saturated with sensuality rather than sensibility.
