Hello void, here's a song I wrote, trying to pray after months of insomnia. youtu.be/YLQ_zpGzIlA

Three of my songs are featured in the new Church of Scotland hymnbook supplement! I'll be part of the band for the launch at St Cuthbert's in Edinburgh on May 19th. Tickets are free. Come and join us!

Still kind of glowing about this. It's made me think a lot about the role of physical media in a digital age. This book will almost certainly still be on someone's shelf in a hundred years. Will Spotify or YouTube even exist then? Not likely.

An incredible project...

Theology people, can anyone recommend books or articles on the role that congregational singing plays in the formation of Christian community? Interested in sociological and/or theological perspectives, bonus points if both.

"...it's like our hearts are crying out for some kind of regular person with a regular voice who will get up and sing a praise song without an octave jump that we can all join into..." 🩶

Joel brilliantly expressing some of our core convictions about writing songs for the church here...

Looking for theologically rich songs about the Holy Spirit? Our new EP 'Spirit Songs' is out now. This one is 'Spirit You're Here' by Rebecca Beese and Chris Juby, drawing from Romans 8.

I think Romans 8 is my favourite chapter in Scripture. I've already written several songs from it. Here's a new one that draws on many of the things that chapter says about the Holy Spirit. youtu.be/FKlj8cEuPn0 #HolySpirit #praise

The 12 Song Challenge is back! Come and join this international community of hundreds of worship songwriters for a year of creativity and collaboration. Registration is open now, the challenge begins on 1st April. Find out more and register at 12songchallenge.org

It's weird being a church songwriter. The measure is not whether people like the way you sing your song, it's whether people want to sing it in their own way when you're not even there. I'm so grateful for these comments about 'Spirit You're Here'...

Oh man, Rachel Wilhelm continues to push the envelope. No wonder the algorithms are baffled! A truly vital artist. youtube.com/watch?v=hPJkkN…

This is a special song. One of my favourite songwriting experiences, and one of my favourite recording experiences.

Another track from the new 'Community Songs' EP. 'God Who Makes Us Family' by Chris Juby. This one makes room for us to name our individual circumstances as we gather to worship, and then joins us in song as the family of God. youtu.be/XL1Yt8T0zfU

Here's the full YouTube playlist of Community Songs Vol.I videos. We're so grateful to Stuart Burke for capturing these. The EP is not a disembodied production, it's a specific group of people and a specific moment. youtube.com/watch?v=XL1Yt8…

It was so good to talk to Kelsey Kramer McGinnis for this article. Church songwriting is about so much more than hoping you get a 'big' song, but you'd hardly know it from most of the talk. Writing 'small' songs for your community could/should be a vibrant ministry in every church.

A song for when Christmas is swallowed up in despair. youtu.be/uMGRJxNsoC0

Five of my songs out into the world in 2025: chrisjuby.com/songwriting/so…

Woah. After the first song, I held off from listening to Hosea by Rachel Wilhelm so I could give it proper attention. The moment has finally come and here I am on a train having my mind blown. I can't believe how good this is! open.spotify.com/album/2qqMdYgl…
