Seeing lives changed?

Gospel discipleship over the long haul

Council estates, urban priority areas, low income households: the gospel is powerful to save anyone, from anywhere, but what does making disciples look like in the ‘hard places’ of our country, where progress can seem heartbreakingly slow?

Listen to full Brooke Waggoner albums free!

Brooke Waggoner makes very original music. Her main instrument is the piano but this is usually backed (but not overwhelmed) by strings of sorts. Her music is quirky, playful, occasionally melancholy. If you like Joanna Newsom, Regina Spektor or Kate Bush then she's wandered somewhere into their patch of the forest.

Recommended Tracks: On Fresh Pair of Eyes I enjoyed wonder-dummied. On Heal for the honey I really liked beaut and colorbloods









Music: Goldmund - beautiful piano music

Goldmund makes really beautiful piano music. Here are a few of my favourites. He also releases electronic music under the name Helios.
