“Jesus is my boyfriend” worship songs are weird and gross | Ep 34

Godly Whistleblower with Mackenzie Morgan

There is a popular trend in modern worship music today that needs to end. And that is the genre: “Jesus is my boyfriend” worship songs. You may have heard some of these songs before; songs full of allegorical, romanticized, poetic lyrics that sound more similar to a love song you would sing to your boyfriend. But we’re singing these songs to the God of the universe? Mackenzie dissects some examples of this type of lyricism and how we can learn to be sure the songs we sing during worship are songs full of spirit and of truth.

Hi, I'm Mackenzie. I'm a music artist, worship leader, wife, mom (I wear a lot of hats), and host of the Godly Whistleblower podcast. I seek to shine a light on popular teachings and music in the church today and share what Scripture teaches on how we are to worship in spirit and in truth within the church gathering. My desire is to learn together with my listeners how Christians are to live lives ultimately as a pleasing worship to God.

If you enjoyed this episode, I'd appreciate so much if you left me a review!

Thank you for listening!

- Mac
