Catalyst Music Project
You may be familiar with the Catalyst Conference movement and all the cool stuff they’re up to. One of the new things they’ve just launched is the Catalyst Music Project. While I’m not crazy about the 18-page publishing contract that the winner has to sign, I do think that they are on to something very, very cool.

We believe there are new anthems and worship songs being written on the hearts of our generation across this nation and around the world. This is a call to leaders who have a vision to share these songs with the body of Christ.

If you follow my twitter you know that I’ve been really excited about something called WorshipRises – I’m intrigued by some of the things Aaron is saying in this video and how much it resonates with some of the things going on in my own heart and mind right now. I’m excited to see the steps of this journey as Catalyst begins to uncover some of what God is doing in and through worship leaders around the world.
Interesting stuff. However, this website is really sending out mixed messages. Firstly, the project is all about making a worship album. It’s a commercial project in the first instance, and a way of equipping worship leaders and exposing people to new music in the second.
But, when you when you watch the video, a totally different message comes over – they’re on a quest to find out what God is doing all over the world. What are the songs He is using, who are the worship leaders He is annointing? The phrase “around the world” is used over and over. So when you read the fine print it’s a shock to read that the contest is only open to residents of the USA.
Mixed messages.
Mark – great observation and I agree 100%. I’m sure they would say that “legal troubles” are the issue but if your heart is to uncover what is happening globally then find a way to uncover what is happening globally.
