Keaton and Seth have a conversation with songwriter (and Zion member and worship leader) Logan Peck. They unpack why the church needs new music, Logan's approach to writing songs for different contexts, and whether or not "Reckless Love" is that bad.



This episode ends with "Praise the King Upon the Throne," written by Logan Peck for Peck Music Publishing. Listen to the whole song here.
