We're missing out ... on hearing one another’s songs, on worship in our daily lives, on passion in our praise, on the dance of David, on fellowship with Christians who disagree, on sharing testimony of God’s work in our assemblies, on agreeing together, and more. In the Churches of Christ, some begin to broaden their experience in praise, wishing they could answer the questions of those who feel left behind. "Missing More than Music" understands why we look at the same evidence and disagree. There is hope for worship and unity. We're missing more than music. Let's have all that we've been missing ... together.

Danny Corbitt grew up in Duncanville, a suburb of Dallas. In his youth, he spent several years at the local Christian Church and then began attending the Church of Christ nearby. He experienced the worship differences that not only set the groups apart, but also kept them apart. Danny has worked as a youth minister, a missionary, and a state college minister for the Churches of Christ. He was a summertime youth minister in East Texas during his undergraduate years at the University of Texas at Arlington. Graduate school at Abilene Christian University prepared him for his mission work in Santiago, Chile. Shortly after his return, he began serving as a campus minister at his alma mater, UT Arlington. He served there for 14 years. In 2000, he left supported ministry and returned to work as a computer programmer, coding primarily in Visual Basic, C# and SQL. Danny and his wife, the former Cindy Russell, have been married for over 20 years. They and their sons Cason and Austin love music. Cason is a member of the Texas All-State Choir this year, and Austin regularly plays drums in the church praise band. The Corbitt’s church family is Christ Community Church in Arlington, Texas. Over the years, CCC has joined hands with traditional Churches of Christ, sharing in youth events and Leadership Training for Christ, etc. While at CCC, Danny has written the computer software that manages the benevolent outreach of Arlington’s Churches of Christ. Besides this involvement with Churches of Christ, CCC also participates with other churches. They sing accompanied and a cappella, and every Sunday they pray for unity.
