Episode 2.80


Why did the church move from singing only Psalms to writing and singing hymns—and was that shift faithful or dangerous?


In this episode, Michael and Zach trace the history and theology of Christian hymnody, from the psalm-saturated worship of the early church to the rise of Christ-centered hymns, the Reformation divide, the golden age of hymn writing, and the modern praise movement. Along the way, we examine why hymns emerged in the first place, how they were used to teach doctrine and defend orthodoxy, and what was gained—and lost—as worship music changed over time.


This is not a nostalgia tour or a critique for its own sake. It’s an attempt to answer a deeper question: what do our songs do to us? If worship forms belief, affections, and theology, then the church must think carefully about what it sings. Psalms anchor us in God’s Word. Hymns teach us to confess Christ clearly. Songs, for better or worse, shape the kind of Christians we become.
