Wow! This past Wednesday a team of about 10 people hunkered down in my living room with chicken wings, philly cheese steaks, and fried mushrooms here in downtown Atlanta to select the new soundtrack for The Courageous Church. We had a lot of advice from friends around the country and really created a filter that every song had to pass through in order for it to make the cut.
We probably listened to at least 100 songs that we all prepared in advance. We tossed about 30, shelved about 25 for special songs, and decided we’d work these into heavy rotation…
Bob Marley – Could you be Loved?
Brandon Heath – Give me your Eyes

Hot soundtrack. Props especially for the Jonny Lang (*love his music*) and Dilated Peoples. Good stuff. :)
Yay, "Dead and Gone" made the cut!
Awesome list, Shaun. Just one of the many reasons why Courageous is so awesome!
Looks really cool!
I would love to know the "filter" by which you guys choose the music. Have you written a post about it?
I can't believe my classical piece didn't make the list (LOL). Good list, congrats :D
Cool! I was googling something else and came across your page. What are you guys all about? I run a gospel online mag called KingdomSwag.com.
Blessings!
