interviews with prominent worship leaders , songwriters , and music industry executives of the times . We ’ ve conducted nearly 100 interviews , many including content that has never before been documented , as well as archival footage and sound recordings . We break down the various movements by providing historical and relational context , woven together through an overall narrative of how God used this movement to draw people to Him . We ’ ve chosen to initially release the docuseries through YouTube to maximize viewer accessibility . The first episode will be released in early spring .
Karen and Chad Gentry with Christy and Nathan Nockels
Our Nineties Worship Night live performances feature many of the most popular 1990s era worship songs as well as stories and video clips from the upcoming Nineties Worship Night Docuseries . There ’ s something so powerful about hearing how God moved a songwriter to write one of these songs and then singing it live corporately . These live nights have already blown us away !
Chad with Charlie Hall
[ WM ] I see several streams of profound church influence during this decade . What are your observations ?
[ Chad ] From the perspective of our docuseries , everything in the 90s was either directly or indirectly influenced through Integrity Music or Vineyard Worship . One of the most fascinating insights from interviewing around 100 contributors to the docuseries was learning what aspect of 90s worship most influenced them . Some were obvious such as Delirious ? and Vineyard directly influencing Passion Music . Others surprised me like learning of Ron Kenoly ’ s influence on a young Brenton Brown or to learn how deeply the Brownsville Revival and Lindell Cooley impacted Jeff Deyo and the founding members of SONICFLOOd . Hearing Darlene Zschech emphasize the importance of Alvin Slaughter and The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir to her development in worship arts and Charlie Hall describe the profound impact that Dennis Jernigan and specifically the song “ You Are My All In All ” had on him were also very intriguing .
