Video: "You Make Me Brave" (Bethel Music) - Kurt Scobie [Cover]

Posted by Kurt Scobie on March 19, 2015


I know it seems like I talk about Bethel Music constantly. But, they have been releasing some awesome songs. They've got their finger on the pulse of modern worship music and I look forward to each time they release something.

"You Make Me Brave" is a song by Amanda Cook and we love singing this at my church. It is a powerful message of hope and strength.

Here is my rendition. Please take a few minutes to watch and then share it.

Worship EP Title & Artwork

Posted by Kurt Scobie on March 14, 2015

Another stage in the album-creation process is complete! In my March Email Update I revealed the artwork and title for the worship EP I have been working on these last few months. My friend Ty did a great job working on designing exactly what I wanted.

It is an exciting and awesome thing to look back and see how one seemingly little idea grew into lyrics, and then songs, and then a full studio project. And now, watching it materialize into an actual CD. It feels like I have been given just a glimpse into what it was like for God to create something from nothing. It is incredible.

This whole project began when I was reading Psalm 91. Words and phrases kept popping out at me as a read and re-read this ancient poem. Eventually melodies and chord progressions followed and a song was born, which became the theme for this whole EP.

Life has been a blur since then. I can't believe that I am about to release this to the world. 

It has been quite a journey, thus far. I hope you'll stick around for what is next. I have some fun stuff planned! And I know God has some things up His sleeve for this, too. Four months ago a new EP was not even on my radar. Now I have a title, artwork, and everything has been sent off for digital distribution and I should be getting physical CDs the beginning of April. I am just so very thankful for this endeavor. And I am pumped for what lies ahead!

Video: "All Of Me" (John Legend) - Kurt Scobie [Cover]

Posted by Kurt Scobie on March 12, 2015


John Legend is the man! I mean, he kinda has an advantage over those of us who do not have the last name "Legend", right? It's pretty unfair.

I have been covering "All Of Me" for a while now, so it was a logical move to record it for my weekly YouTube cover videos.

I hope you like my rendition and share it!

Video: "Out of Hiding" (Steffany Gretzinger) - Kurt Scobie [Cover]


Posted by Kurt Scobie on March 5, 2015


Ever since I got her album, Steffany Gretzinger's powerful voice has been singing non-stop through my car stereo (she must be tired).

Particularly, her song "Out Of Hiding (Father's Song)" has been an amazing reminder of how God is calling people back to Him. If you haven't heard Steffany's album, "The Undoing", I highly recommend you check it out. In my humble opinion it is one of the best new albums out there right now. Powerful songwriting. Soaring melodies. Beautiful truths.

I have tried to do this song justice. I hope you like it and share it!
