I've followed your work for SO many years, and you've always made me grow deeper in worship, but you've also made me want so badly to write my own songs. Your life inspires me, for real. 2 or 3 months ago, I finally took the courage I needed and I started writing my own songs! I already have about 9 songs, and I am getting slowly better. I thank God for using you to awake that desire in me, because, even if I never go public or something, my songs are helping me to go closer to God, and to express my feelings and worship for him. God bless you, Jonathan! Don't you ever stop working for creative christianity. Greetings from Brazil, and I hope we meet someday.

I love how well produced this video is. It was so easy to follow. There's a lot to learn here; taking time to listen and seek ideas is one of the areas I'm working on at the moment. Thanks, Jonathan.

[@mirzaryan6920]

I appreciate the down-to-earth explanation of songwriting. It’s encouraging to hear that we don’t have to force the song out for it to be good, and that the process can be a messy one.

[@joshuaminemusic]

Could you guys make a video on everything you have to prepare for live shows? Like from instrumental tracks, lighting, etc.

[@thesongwritingstudio5783]

love seeing your process Jonathan, thanks for sharing!

[@simoncrust7718]

Eagle eyes! 👀

[@simoncrust7718]

@@JonathanOgdenMusic i guess all those years of faithfully eating only carrots finally paid off😏

[@Three2Anh]

Simple yet lovely, thanks for letting us into the process!

[@DavidFloresMusic]

Thank you! I realized that I was pressuring myself to finish my work and end up with bad results. Thank you! God bless you Jonathan and Set Sail!

[@donaldliang2458]

Love this video! I'd also be interested in seeing content that goes through how you guys record and mix your music, maybe like a breakdown of how you record and arrange a song. Love the work you guys are doing!

A Merry Christmas and a blessed New year 2021 to you and your entire Team.

[@jeremyrodriguez5882]

Wow.. This video was immensely inspiring thank you brother.

[@jirahhope4780]

Thank you for sharing to us your songwriting process! Its interesting to me when you said how it’s okay sometimes to hit at a dead end and rather dwelling on it, pursue songs or ideas that you’re passionate with and probably get back to em when inspiration hits you again. Struggled with that problem so that really helps! Love to hear more from you and the band ✨

[@NasreenBianca]

So good! Thank you for sharing.

Good stuff 💯

[@zerubabelyonas5643]

I love 10:00am and Psalm 34, been awhile since I put them in my playlist and always kept them on repeat. A brother from Ethiopia 🇪🇹...God bless🙌🙌

[@kindredriver8837]

love this!

[@fadikareem]

Thanks for this! I'm just getting into songwriting, and this motivates me!

[@alysonparker2207]

Wow! This video has helped settle peace in my heart about my writing process. So much of what you said and how you do it has been how the Lord has been showing me how to do it as well. At first it felt like, I’ll never finish a song! But I think Holy Spirit is really wanting me to let go and enjoy the process of it and not focus so much on the end result. So thank you for sharing!!!

What keyboard is that? I love the sound of that. 😃

❤️❤️❤️

[@Anna-ex1pu]

How amazing seeing Taylor guitars. It reminds me of my family members who work there and create the guitars. It makes me incredibly joyful seeing my favorite worship artist use that guitar. God Bless and I pray Satan will never let you think or say your gift from God is not good enough. ❤️✨

[@childofgod9063]
