From Christian Metal to Worship Pastor: Brennan Chaulk on Music and Faith

In this powerful episode, Karina sits down with Brennan Chaulk, a worship pastor, musician, guitarist, and vocalist for the Christian metal band Haste the Day. Brennan shares his incredible journey from growing up in an atheist family in Canada to witnessing his parents' radical transformation through faith. He talks about his experiences touring with a Christian metal band, the challenges of staying grounded in faith while on the road, and how stepping away from music for five years reshaped his identity in Christ. Now serving as a worship pastor at Emmanuel Church in Indianapolis, Brennan dives deep into the meaning of worship, the biblical foundation for lifting our hands in praise, and how what we consume—especially through music—impacts our hearts. Whether you're a worship leader, a parent navigating music choices for your kids, or someone seeking a deeper connection with God, this episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement.
