Bonus Episode: Rachel Wilhelm on Singing the Words of Jeremiah

Tent Talks with Dr Stephen Backhouse

Musician, songwriter, and worship leader Rachel Wilhelm joins the Tent with Chris Marchand to discuss her new album Jeremiah and how she approached writing songs that speak truth to leaders in power while also calling for communal repentance. Though a bonus episode, this conversation pieces together a number of elements from previous Tent Talks series: 1) Rachel contributed the theme song to Chris's series Women in Church Leadership (which is discussed in the interview), 2) speaking truth to power and discerning true prophets from false prophets is a topic Stephen covered in a previous episode, and 3) this is something of a bonus "Disagree" episode as Rachel and Chris have a significant (though respectful) disagreement about the use of violence.

You can listen to Rachel's music anywhere you stream music or support her more directly by listening to and purchasing her music on Bandcamp (which also has an app) or through her website.
