The Meaning of Jazz

• Jul, 27 2025

In this episode, we dive into the deeper meaning of jazz—not just as a musical style, but as a cultural symbol of our age. Jazz, with its syncopation and swing, throws off structure and restraint to chase raw feeling. But what happens when this emotionalism seeps into the church? What does it mean when Christianity is improvised, not doctrinal—when worship syncs to personal gratification instead of God’s law? You’ll hear how the jazz mentality has shaped modern religion, replacing reverence with relevance and catechism with convenience. The faith that begins with man ends in chaos. The faith that begins with God ends in peace."
