A Biblical Framework for Intentional, Spirit-Filled Worship

Music can be a source of tension in many churches. Whether driven by preferences for specific styles, popular trends, or traditional practices, corporate worship can feel more divisive than unifying. How can we cultivate worship that honors God and strengthens his church in the midst of these challenges?

Spirit-Filled Singing offers a biblical framework to help believers engage in musical worship with greater intentionality and gospel-centered purpose. Drawing insight from Galatians 5 and Ephesians 5, author Ryanne J. Molinari explores how singing and the fruit of the Spirit share a common purpose—to glorify God and edify his church. Through concise, thoughtful chapters that explore each fruit of the Spirit, this book invites readers to examine their worship practices, assess the condition of their hearts, and grow in Christlikeness through song.  

  • Biblical: Draws insight from Ephesians 5, Galatians 5, and Colossians 3 to help readers glorify God and edify his church through corporate worship  
  • Concise: Nine short chapters make it ideal for seminar classes or small-group studies 
  • Ideal for Current or Future Church Leaders: Helpful for high school and undergraduate music students, church study or staff groups, and worship teams
  • Thought Provoking: Includes questions at the end of each chapter for personal reflection or group discussion
