John Wimber, Church Music, and the Road To The NAR

John and Bruce trace the cultural and spiritual shifts that changed church music from hymns and organs to emotionally driven worship built around guitars, performance, and mass appeal. Along the way, they examine John Wimber's role in the Righteous Brothers, his conversion, his influence at Calvary Chapel Yorba Linda, and the larger musical trends that helped prepare audiences for the Jesus Movement and later charismatic expressions.
The discussion also explores how biblical themes appeared in mainstream rock before the Jesus Movement, how music can shape emotion and group psychology, and how those dynamics contributed to later religious developments tied to Vineyard, healing culture, and the New Apostolic Reformation. With personal reflections, historical examples, and movement analysis, John and Bruce consider whether modern worship became a vehicle for spiritual formation or a shortcut that opened the door to manipulation.
