QUOTES/PRESS

Reform Follows Function is soulful, heartfelt and beautifully written and recorded. Nate weaves words and images rooted in the love of God incarnated in our lives for the sake of the world. This album helps make meaning of our days and lives in, with and under creation, our neighbors and our own vocation.
Rev. Jeni Grangaard
Glyndon Lutheran, Glyndon MN

Becoming Liturgy Review
Part of the Minneapolis posse of Lutheran musicians that includes Jona­than Rundman and Echelon, Nate Houge offers up a heartfelt CD that creates a gentle mood for worship and the time leading to it. The 28 songs run the gamut from “Faith Renew” (anchored by the simple, sweet playing of violinist Mari Carlson) to the bongo-driven “God Over Everything,” which begins with the familiar “holy, holy, holy” refrain. Highly recommended for use with kids and youth groups, though there’s nothing childish about this fine disc (natehouge.com).

Lou Carlozo

Nate Houge is an engaging leader in front of groups, whether ten or a thousand.  He’s a refreshing blend of energy, good music, and sound theology — with a sense of humor just wacky enough to keep things interesting.
Mark Jackson
Professor of Children, Youth & Family Studies – Trinity Lutheran College

Becoming Liturgy is impressive work, full of gracious theology and a kind of joy that the liturgy opens up.
Rev. Patricia Lull
Executive Director St. Paul Council of Churches
