A conversation between Ben Pasley and Todd Berger on the power and necessity of forgiving others, releasing offense, and being about the work of reconciliation.  Part 1 of 3.

A rambunctious live recording video of the lead song on the new Fourth Circle album titled “Hold On“. Check out that head band on Robin.

Here is another look at the lead track from the album Fourth Circle released this year. Here the intro and outro on the song–not heard on the album–are highlighted and Karla shares her thoughts!

Ever wanted to learn to play an Enter The Worship Circle song…but you were having trouble making the chords?  Understanding the chord changes or strumming pattern?  What about the drums…ever wanted to see what was happening so you could play along?  Well…here it comes!

Ben and Robin, along with a team of overqualified film and video friends, will be recording (in the next few days) the first ever set of Worship Circle video tutorials just for you!  Ten years ago when we first dreamed of the Worship Circle series we wanted to do everything we could to help others worship with simple instruments and simple words.  This is just another way to say to you, “You can do it!”

We know this is a bit of a teaser…look for these videos to go up online in our store–for free–in September!

Karla and Caleb (jacobandlily.com) do a jam up job on “Memphis” a song Ben wrote and performed on Chair and Microphone, Vol. 1. You will love this atomic bomb version from Karla Adolphe, featured artist on our brand new album, Chair and Microphone, Vol. 3!

Ben and Aaron talk about using the Mixsaturator and the Mixpressor on the Fourth Circle album. This is a simple look at how a little can go a long way with compression, especially on buses!

Gary Adolphe and Karla share more about how they book concerts, especially house concerts. Go to karlaadolphe.ca. Ben loves himself. The song featured is “Can’t Thank You Enough???????? ????? ????????” a boogity, boogity, ride the horse kind of a song. Awesome.

Part 2 of 2. Ben and Joe Steinke talk together through the first half of an article designed to deal with the fears and inhibitions related to discovering the Family of God. And by “family” we mean the relationships we have to one another as mother, father, sister, son, etc. Joe is in a cafe in Madison, Wisconsin and Ben was in a DQ in Lindale, Texas.

Candid clips Karla Adolphe in the studio recording Chair and Microphone, Vol. 3 featuring bells duct-taped to the legs, piano playing, mandolin experimentation, jewelry and more!
