Hymn Talk is a regular discussion of hymns, singing, and theology in the life of the church. The podcast is hosted by Alex and Zack DiPrima from Emmanuel Church of Winston-Salem.
31. Newton on the Christian Life – "I Asked the Lord that I Might Grow"
It’s difficult to imagine a better person for Christians to acquaint themselves with than John Newton (1725-1807). Though Newton is often remembered for his dramatic conversion, memorable hymns, and courageous activism, his pastoral ministry is often overlooked. Yet few figures from church history more faithfully convey the sweetness of Christ. In this episode, Zack welcomes Ben Robin to the podcast to discuss the legacy of John Newton. They also profile Newton’s hymn “I Asked the Lord that I Might Grow.”
Ben Robin is a Pastoral Assistant at Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia. He is working on a PhD in historical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He hopes to write on theological anthropology.

29. Singing Without Instruments – "Not What My Hands Have Done"
Perhaps to our surprise, the New Testament offers no instruction about the use of instruments in corporate worship. However, the inspired authors are concerned that God's people sing when they gather. This means that though the use of instruments may be warranted according to Scripture, it is of most importance that the church's music adorn the voices of God's people. In this episode, Zack and Alex discuss the value of a cappella singing. They also profile the hymn "Not What My Hands Have Done" by Horatius Bonar.
