A Story of the Vineyard in Song – Brian Doerksen

Show Podcast Information

In this episode of We Are Vineyard, we continue our mini-series on the Vineyard USA National Conference session: A Story Of The Vineyard in Song. This week, Adam and Nicole Dill talk with Brian Doerksen about his first encounter with the Vineyard and the doors it opened for him to pursue the faith his heart longed for. Brian shares the history behind the album “Changed By Your Glory” and the stories of how some of his most well-known songs came to be. They also discuss how he discerns his songwriting assignments, what makes a song evergreen, and some advice for newer Vineyard songwriters. 

Brian is a songwriter, recording artist, and songwriting instructor (founder of ‘Unlocking Your Songs’), but most of all he loves spending time with his high-school sweetheart Joyce (they have been married for 38 years.) Brian & Joyce have 4 adult daughters and 2 adult sons with Fragile X Syndrome. His songs are known and sung internationally in faith communities of all kinds including ‘Come Now is the Time to Worship’, ‘Refiner’s Fire’, ‘Hope Of The Nations’ and ‘The River.’
