Martin Smith impacted my teenage years and Brook my adult life. You are both history makers for a generation.

The 2 legends in Christian music industry. Both have significantly inspired Christians to praise and worship the LORD Jesus through their songs. Such a blessing!!

Wow!!! Brooke's heart for Jesus is just ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥!!! So goooood!!!

She always takes us back to the beginning…to Him…to Jesus…#SpiritofExcellence😭

I discovered Brook driving to work and the song "Honey in the Rock" came on the radio. God has been so faithful creating miracles in my life, I'm in awe. Brooks songs seem as if God is speaking into the soul, a word in due season. I love the testimonies of how God lead you, and continues to.

Wow iv listened to Brookes music for a long time. And this interview just confirmed why she is my most listened to Christian artist. So pure and honest. I love her love for the Lord. Glory to the king of kings!

We love you Martin Smith! Glory to our Lord Jesus for choosing a vessel like yourself. 🙌

Brooke's heart and the MIND this woman has been gifted encourage and help me so much as an artist. Praise God for her.

Protect Brooke Ligertwood at all costs!

Ataahua(so Beautiful)... as our NZ national anthem says 'Make His praises heard afar"...so loved the authenticity and humility in your raw and real sharing ...and so loved Brooke how you honoured in the beginning Martin and his family . Bravo!

I'm Jonathan and I love Martin. When my favourite Martin asked that last question to Brooke, I felt it was not needed, but when she answered that ..... I also want to be one of them... I felt like ... Wow... What an inspiring love she has on God and His Word. I love the way Brooke loves God, my wife mentioned quite a few times about Brooke's testimony. I was literally into tears crying to God to help me too to be part of this revival generation. Thank you so much for this podcast, So far I could watch and listen to a few of them. All of them are a blessing to me personally. God bless you both. Love from Bangalore, India

I love how Brooks heart is continually aware to staying awaken in passing the Paton on to the next generation , you will speak His work to the next generation in the years to come , 👏🔥🇨🇦

“I’ve only ever wanted to be His…” 😢

This was one of the best conversations I’ve heard in the past years, and you are two of my heroes! Thank you for that!

OMGosh, I’ve just found this channel, where have I been 😂? Two of the worlds most genuine and beautiful Christian worship leaders/song writers. Love you guys. Thank you so much for your humility and the beautiful way that you have both stewarded your gifts. The BEST is STILL to come guys. Love and blessings, Dave from down-under xx

Can’t wait for their collaboration in Brooke’s upcoming album 👀

Imagine being interviewed by Martin Smith, and he's asking you about the songs you've written 🤯

Thank God for songwriters like you two Martin Smith and Broke Ligertwood - it is amazing and a blessing to hearing and singing your songs over and over again also here in Denmark. God bless your life and your family🙏

Fascinating interview and always wonderful to hear Brooke's heart for God. Was sad to hear talk of Asbury - it had already been long shut down when this interview was published.

Two of my absolute favourite people on the planet, in one incredible conversation... wow! Thank you! You both have blessed my personal journey with God so much, especially since I was a member of Hillsong Church in Sydney for almost six years. Please keep doing these fantastic interviews 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Grew up listening to delirious and had honour seeing martin smith at oran mor glasgow , brooke ligertwood amazing worship leader and song writer god bless both of u amazing leaders in god

Praise God for my favs Martin & Brooke both paved so much to helping grow deeply in God's love

Was good to see you at Gateway Martin. I shook your hand in Southlake mate and wanted to invite you to dinner with your family. I grew up in a small town in South Africa. A friend gave me your cutting edge CD when I was 12 years old. Something happen inside my heart listening to Find me in the River. Two of my favorite artist is you Martin and Jeremy Sinnott from Toronto. My family all moved from South Africa to New Zealand and I live in Texas. My sister was in a New Zealand band and her songs play on radio there.

Brooke ligertwood is trully a prophet of god. Through her songs and sermons god has helped me in my difficult times. If i ever see personally, i woldnt just say hallo, but i might just break down on my knees and cry, and thank her personally for her works. Thanks!

God put more detail into every molecule of his creation than we can ever put into any aspect of our life. God does everything with detail and the result is perfection. We are not perfect but as we attempt perfection for his honor it demonstrates a heart of worship. God be with you both as you help the rest of us worship the King of Kings.

And my heart it burns for Youuuu

What a genuine love for the Lord she has. Beautiful interview and a very lovely woman. God bless you Brooke (and Martin). God is so good to us.

Brooke Ligertwood is the same offstage as onstage. Authentic. I don't know Martin Smith much, except from a few songs. I listen to her a lot. Her songs and singing encourage me so much.

Martin Smith!!!! Oh my word!!!! What a man if God! What a Musical Legend! A God send to this world!! Thank you Lord I stumbled upon this podcast 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So good to have had Martin minister for us, definitely huge impact. I am such a great fan of Brooke and her heart is in her beautiful worship!! So appreciate her ministry!

Nice to see you both together God bless you

It's good to hear from you Martin. One of the voices that have truly blessed me.

Brooke and Martin...fundamental music in my life history ! My children will knows and hear you !

After gods own heart! Brooke we all believe in u!

Freedom Is Here is one of my favorite songs, by Scott Ligertwood & Reuben Morgan

Beautiful interview! Now I need to go back and listen to your orher podcast episodes.

I love Brooke's heart and love for the Lord💟💓

Brooke is a Royal Light!

Thank you two for this... This blessed me so much, there's so much to take away from this. You and your families are greatly blessed.

Love to hear when Brooke gets moved. Thank you both.

it's amazing what you say about King David , Brooke i have been thinking the very same things, there is something we just love so much about King David, and so i have kept him on a pedestal , one of great affection, but like all of us i guess you could say, he had a lot of really dirty 'spots', blemishes, in his life, in fact how many so called great bible figures, Moses , Paul , David had all taken men's lives! We may gloss over the facts of history, yet God remembered the blood on their hands and restricted them later in life, as a direct result! Indeed as Martin says it's " all about grace " and we know God's forgiveness certainly rested upon them, but still can you imagine the things they did, and the things we too have done, where would we be but for the grace of God, surely even the mostly righteous or saintly among us would not have to search very far to find something devastating right there in their own lives, even something which may seem insignificant, and yet before God it stands as great offence.

That was great! Thank you for sharing ... for both of you sharing your passion for Jesus and how you endeavor to honour Him with your lives & music. You have both impacted me greatly over the years of which I am grateful.

I love her from France....God Blessed You

Listened to the whole conversation. Thank you, what a gift. Priceless

I love the fact that they honored each other. Iron sharpens iron.

I love you both! God bless you!

I'm so blessed and edified with this podcast :)

Thank you for sharing such wisdom in a beautiful podcast ❤

Brooke thank you! 🌹

Thank you both for making the effort and taking the time to chat. It was a privilege to witness your transparency and love for the Lord. You’ve both kept your hearts soft before the Lord when life and the world could have made you brittle. Keep up the passion and creativity! Ric

what a down to earth real woman....

First time listener to Martin's podcast. I love his song 'Everybody is Broken'. It applies to all of us. I am looking forward to tuning into some of Brooke's worship songs. Listening to these 2 musicians talk about their inspirations and influencess reminds me of Johann Sebastian Bach's worship music. Bach and some of his contemporaries would write SDG at the end of their music scripts, meaning Soli Deo Gloria which is a Latin term for 'Glory to God alone'. It signifies that the work was produced for the sake of praising God. I would love to hear a worship song from Martin or Brooke titled SDG or Soli Deo or Soli Deo Gloria which is the essence of their musical worship. God bless. Keep up the inspiring music to glorify Yahweh.

Bach believed that all music was solely meant for glorifying God. not meant to cut records and mint money

Well done, you two!

Great interview!!!! ❤❤❤ I have called the radio stations to ask why they don't play Lydia Walker, a LOCAL singer/songwriter. God help us!!!

two absolute favs 😍

“Let’s Celebrate where Jesus is being TRULY worshipped”♥️♥️♥️

Well said Brook!! For the word of God is ALIVE AND ACTIVE sharper than any double edge sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and marrow it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. HEBREWS 4:12

2 legends

🤍🤍 love this.

❤

You are already recognized worldwide. You need to make videos in Portuguese, at least with subtitles in Portuguese.

What a great conversation! Would love to be on the show as a Worship Pastor and KZreadr 🙂

This interview is brutal

Her love and heart for the Christ is all consuming, she does this for one thing, to worship the god she loves that is so dear to her, even when Martin spoke of the doors that, what a beautiful name, opened up for her, he's thinking of royalties, money, Fame, it is all meaningless to her, in her songs it is all for one thing, to worship the Lord her god, to worship the Christ, everything else becomes meaningless.

Love the way she thinks, but was really wanting to know more about her and her life story lol..... wanted to know the story behind the messenger.

Excellent work both of you. Thank you for the songs over the years. Time to dig deeper into the Catholic saints and if God willing become Catholic yourself. I’m sure if you do, it would contribute more to the kingdom. Remember G. K. Chesterton and Malcolm Muggeridge on what caused them to become Catholics themselves.

MARTIN WHAT A GREAT PODCAST. BUT BROOKE IS JUST ANOTHER GIFT FROM NZ. IN 1970s WE HAD DAVID N DALE GARRETT TAKE WORSHIP/ SCRIPTURE IN SONG. IN 1975 A FREIND , NAIDA HEARN IN PALMERSTON NORTH N Z , CAUGHT THE SONG JESUS NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES, BEAUTIFUL SAVIOUR GLORIOUS LORD…AM SURE YOU SUNG IT, WENT ROUND THE WORLD IN MONTHS! AM NOT SURPRISED AT THE GIFT OF. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME, COMING FROM BROOKE. AT THE END OF THIS PODCAST, AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH, SHE TELLS US NOT JUST WHO SHE LOVES, BUT WHY. JESUS. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE, SHE NEVER GAVE MUCH IN GROWING UP HERE IN NZ. MARTIN SHOW HER THIS, BROOKE IS PART OF A PROPHECY… FROM THE ISLANDS OF THE SEA SHALL PRAISES RISE. THANKS. AWESOME.

i'd love to be that spider in the room

I always want to say Brooke Fraser! But she’s been married a while. lol. So I always have to stop myself and say the right name! lol

I love you Honey ❤

Numbers 32:28-30 New Living Translation 28 So Moses gave orders to Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders of the clans of Israel. 29 He said, “The men of Gad and Reuben who are armed for battle must cross the Jordan with you to fight for the Lord. If they do, give them the land of Gilead as their property when the land is conquered. 30 But if they refuse to arm themselves and cross over with you, then they must accept land with the rest of you in the land of Canaan.”

This is so cringe worthy to watch -- how the host keep heaping accolades and "achievements" on Brooke, and she keeps re-directing the conversation to true heart worship of God instead of whatever music popularity and status he's promoting. Praise God for her example of humility and pure love for God.

I'm still trying to understand what the big deal of this artist. Her songs are not that good and todays's music, does not come close to what the 60's , 70's and the 80's .

Ccw the least profficient the most empty and vapid tge most derivative of all the music genres in the world but the pay is fantastuc becayse the people who lap it up are lemons . These 2 ghastly "artists" are liars

Unfortunately Brookes music draws people into Hillsong, Brian et al very much preach a false gospel. Some terrible lyrics at times also, esp What a Beautiful Name…”you didn’t want Heaven without us”….so a self-sufficient, Triune God was lonely and needed us? Nooooope.

Why are you being unfair and putting words in the songwriters' mouths? They don't say that God would be lonely without us. They simply say that He (by sending His only son to make a way for us) did not want Heaven without us. That's what John 3:16 says. If a parent goes looking for a lost child and spends every $ they have on the search (i.e making a huge sacrifice) then you can extrapolate from that that they "don't want their family home to be without" the lost child. They wouldn't/couldn't disagree with that extrapolation.
