Reformed Music Albums Online

Greetings!

For the past two years, I’ve been creating music rooted in Reformed theology and Puritan writings. We need more theologians writing solid, biblical lyrics—and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing: taking Puritan books, summarizing chapters, and crafting them into original songs across a range of genres.

These albums are now available on YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and dozens of other platforms. Below, you’ll find promo links for each album so you can listen on your preferred streaming service.

Every track is grounded in sound doctrine—whether drawing from sermons, confessions, or classic Puritan texts—and aims to glorify Christ with lyrical and theological depth. Those books are linked to the right.

Click a link, pick a platform, or just ask your “robot” what to play.
