Tent Talks with Dr Stephen Backhouse

Harmony Smith, song writer on making "You Have Our Yes"

Episode Summary

Harmony Smith, the Director of Worship for the Vineyard Movement in the UK & Ireland, wrote the song "You Have Our Yes," which was in part inspired by Tent Theology. She joins us in the tent for this episode to discuss the song, how people in Ireland and America might wrestle with the lyrics differently, and the responsibility that church worship leaders have to not only lead people to God but also challenge them to love their neighbours as themselves.

Episode Notes

Harmony Smith is the Director of Worship for the Vineyard Movement in the UK & Ireland where she encourages, raises up, and trains worship and music leaders, and she also co-pastors Belfast City Church with her husband Andy. From her bio: "Harmony is a worshiper, songwriter and pastor whose heart is all about seeing people connect with Jesus in a lifestyle of worship. This passion is particularly clear in her songs, which can be found on several Vineyard UK & Ireland worship albums, including Creator, Spirit Burn, The Feast and most recently, Legacy – Live from Ireland. She has also just released ‘You Have Our Yes’ a call to unity in the face of increasing division, chaos and distraction, inviting the people of God to offer their 'yes' and their full allegiance to Jesus."  An alternate version of this interview, which focuses more on church music leaders and artists can be listened to at the PostConsumer Reports Podcast.
