I’ve spent my life writing songs across worship and beyond—songs about love, loss, longing, faith, and being human.
I’ve spent much of my life writing songs for other artists—across worship and beyond. A few of the songs that became part of that story:
Named for the Hebrew word shama: to hear, and to respond.
Most of us know a lot about God. Shamah helps you slow down long enough to bring your whole life into the conversation.
Built around Jesus’ invitation to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, Shamah guides you through four movements each day.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
Mark 12:30
What am I feeling? Slow down and notice what’s happening inside you.
God, what are You saying? Bring your real life honestly to God and listen.
What does Scripture say? Bring what you’re experiencing into conversation with God’s Word.
How will I live and love differently today? Turn what you’ve received into a practical next step.
The goal is simple: to help you become less fragmented and more integrated as you learn to love God and others with all of who you are.
Every morning, a new audio guide walks you through Scripture, guided prayer, reflection, and a short journal. Spend ten minutes or thirty—in the car, on a walk, or in your favorite chair.
A one-minute taste of Shamah
Find a comfortable seat and let your shoulders drop. We’ll move through heart, soul, mind, and strength, two slow breaths each.
Shamah is available now. This one-minute sampler is coming soon.
The same curiosity that shapes my songs and films shapes the way I sit with people.
For years I’ve walked alongside artists, leaders, and creators who were tired of living split in two. We slow down, listen for God together, and look honestly at what’s happening underneath the work, so creativity, faith, and the inner life stop being separate pursuits.
“…this one by far has had the greatest heart impact on me.”
Across film, conversation, and design, I keep following the same thread: make something that carries beauty, meaning, and soul.
A feature-length music film I produced and edited in partnership with K-LOVE and Air1. Twenty-five artists, including CeCe Winans, Darlene Zschech, and Michael W. Smith, recorded in the round in Spring Hill, Tennessee, alongside honest conversations about the songs that shaped modern worship.
I produce and co-host Typology with bestselling author Ian Morgan Cron. Together we explore personality, relationships, faith, and what it means to become more fully human.
A Nashville furniture and design company I’m co-creating, rooted in craftsmanship and story. We make functional pieces, starting with chairs, that carry beauty and soul as well as they carry weight.
“Creating is when I feel most alive.”
Anthony Skinner is a songwriter, artist, producer, spiritual director, and lifelong maker based in Franklin, Tennessee. His songs have passed 500 million streams. He produces and co-hosts the Typology podcast, produced and edited the feature film House of Worship, co-created Shamah, and is co-creating the furniture company J.W. Skinner. The medium changes. The impulse to make things that carry beauty, meaning, and soul does not.
Letters, prayers, songs, and reflections to steady you and remind you that God is near in the ordinary hours.
We are called to live from love, not for love.
Some read like psalms, some like poems, some like a conversation by the river. They arrive by email, free.

Spiritual direction is an ongoing conversation with a trained companion that helps you notice how God is present in your life and how you want to respond. It isn’t counseling or goal coaching. It’s attention to your relationship with God.
Anthony offers one-on-one spiritual direction, men’s cohorts, and sessions for creative teams, churches, retreats, and gatherings. Reach out through the contact page to start a conversation.
His songs include the gold-certified #1 “Your Love Never Fails,” “Million Miles” from CeCe Winans’ Grammy-winning album Thy Kingdom Come, and the Dove Award-nominated “God Turn It Around.” Together they’ve passed 500 million streams.
