Iron Sharpens Iron: Introducing the Proverbs 27.17 Song Critique Method
Coming in the fall of 2025!
Sound is feel.
Song critique is how you provide feeling of a song for your listeners at the lyric writing stage.
Your songs will impact your listeners if the design intent for them include how you would like your target audience to respond.
This is going to be true for any genre of songwriting. Follow Stephen Robert Cass as he describes a revolutionary idea to include song critiquing inside the congregational songwriting process so you get maximum results.
Not a revolutionary idea? Do you already include song critiquing in your process? This is different from the norm from the gatekeepers of the songwriting process in modern worship music.
The norm is that you submit your songs to song contests and they are graded. But your feedback, if any, is incoherent and not helpful to your growth as a songwriter.
Read how a specific song critique formula for congregational worship music can be tied to the success of your songs. This method applies whether you write worship or other styles.
The audiobook will be narrated and produced by the author. Pre-order your copy today using the Book Store link below.

The 5 Keys to a Clear Mix: Create YOUR Mix Philosophy – for Christian Artists, Songwriters, and Church Sound Mixers
Released in February 2022, this 90-page book presents 5 critical areas to build the foundation of a song mix. It’s an excellent manual for understanding about multitrack mixing, whether that’s in the studio or the home recordist making records and demos, or the person behind the sound board at church – or any live sound situation.
It provides a method to discover your own mixing philosophy and then refers you to a select number of professionals for continuing guidance and education.
It would work well as a guide for the tech team at church and open up conversations to pursue better sound solutions such as installing acoustic panels or for isolating the drums.
