What Content Songs Go With What Young Life Talks?

October 15, 2014

I received an email this week asking advice on what content songs to pair with specific talks. Below is my first stab at creating a guide to answer the question. Many of these songs can work well before any talk, but some are particularly powerful when sung before or following a specific talk. The *starred* songs below are ones I love to do when giving that specific talk in the sequence. I’d love your input too… so please comment below with suggestions of songs that go well with each talk in the progression, or you can always email me here. -Drew
