Episode #30Mark is an amazing friend and musician, and connecting with him over electronic music has been nothing but a blessing. Especially in the second half of this video, we wrangle with the tension between the possibilities of EDM and the tradition of Conservative Christian music philosophy. I've felt the tension of the debate and I hope that this episode is yet another step in the right direction.CHAPTERS0:00-Intro1:13-Story of growth in God and music4:45-Taking initiative / intro to electronic music8:50-Curation of family music standards15:40-Functionality of electronic music20:35-Stigma of electronic music being oversimplified23:43-The potential of the DAW / AI in the DAW28:50-The place for AI / human attention span / Epic39:50-Human need for stories / God's image in us / Ecclesiastes46:20-Electronic music vs. conservative Christian values (an intro)50:15-Romans 14 / association / loving your fellow Christian55:20-On separating worldly and unworldly / defining worldly1:05:12-James 3 / music relating to contexts of Scripture1:11:30-Music is like food1:14:11-Every genre has strengths and weaknesses / EDM / CCM1:18:20-"Beats are wrong" "The beat is too loud"1:23:35-In context of worship in the church1:28:44-Releasing music / philosophy / my approach to electronic music 1:33:50-On other people's conscience and offending others1:37:15-Theological bottom line1:42:00-Outro / podcast goal / debate bottom line
