99 - Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed - Keith & Kristyn Getty - Guest Host Dave from KDMusic - S05.E12

<p>Dave joins us again for a collaborative review of Keith &amp; Kristyn Getty's "Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed." Dave is a musician and elder from Northern Ireland who produces music for the church under the name "KDMusic". In this episode, we have the pleasure of contemplating the account of Jesus' resurrection in the Gospel of John and seeing how it informs the text of this song. We also look at numerous other passages which appear to have been considered during the composition of this song. The distinction between contemplative and didactic songs is mentioned and we discuss where this song fits in on that scale.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Apologies for Tyler's audio in this week's episode.
