#32: Breaking Out Of A Broken System: An Interview With Seth Bolt Of Needtobreathe [Podcast]

Have you ever felt that you were made for more than fitting in and following rules?

That you were destined to do something great? Somewhere between our childhood dreams and today’s reality we lose the idea that anything is possible.

In this podcast I talk with professional musician and author Seth Bolt of the band Needtobreathe. Seth and his brother, Chandler, have written a book about this very topic and are giving away all the proceeds to charity.

While this is different than the usual worship leading fare, I knew this message and cause was compelling enough to share with you.

Worship Leader, Talented And Popular, Do You Love Jesus?

It’s one thing to gaze upon the glory of God from a distance.

It’s one thing to lift your eyes, look, and see the greatness of God – to revere, stand in awe, and bow down, amazed.

#30: Worship Leaders We Are Not Rockstars: An Interview With Stephen Miller [Podcast]

Massive talent. Bright lights. Incredible band. Emotional performances.

From the outside it seems that worship leaders are no different than your every day rockstars.

But is there something that should set us apart? That’s what I dive into with Stephen Miller, author of the wonderful book Worship Leaders We Are Not Rockstars. Stephen is a worship pastor at The Journey in St Louis, as well as a songwriter, artist, and author.

If you leave a comment, you may be a lucky winner of Stephen’s book as he’s graciously agreed to give away 5 copies.
