Worship Podcast
What a treat to welcome Joth Hunt & Sam Evans to the podcast. Planetshakers is celebrating 20 years of ministry and also the release of their new album, Legacy. I love this interview for so many reasons. It’s amazing to see what God does through a life that is completely surrendered. That is the story of Planetshakers.
Here we talk origins, creativity, leading multiple campuses, songwriting, gear, and God stories.
Enjoy!

Worship should be an emotional experience as well. We should be worshiping with a soaring spirit and with our minds.” – Darren Whitehead
What an honor to have Darren Whitehead and Chris Tomlin on the podcast this week. Chris Tomlin is, well, Chris Tomlin and Darren Whitehead is the Lead Pastor of City Church in Nashville. Both have written a book together called Holy Roar: 7 Words that Will Change the Way You Worship. It’s a refreshing perspective to have both a veteran worship leader and a lead pastor discussing the nature of worship in the local church.
We discuss the book, praise, fast songs, growing your congregation in worship, and guarding against professionalism.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by Coresound. Coresound is an amazing new company that provides pad loops for your worship services.
What are pad loops, you may say? Essentially, it’s like the best keyboard sound or guitar swell you’ve ever heard, sitting underneath your live worship team. It’s helps to create a beautiful, patient atmosphere for your worship team and fill out the sound.
They’re a great investment if you have a smaller worship team or if you have a large team but want to create a bigger sound and improve your transitions. We’ve used them quite a bit at my church. We’ve actually done a two piece setup with me on a guitar, pad loops, and a drum pad and it sounds HUGE. And of all the pads I’ve tried, Coresound are the best sounding. By far.
I have the Deluxe bundle which comes with 6 different sounding pads in all 12 keys. It’s amazing because you literally have an arsenal of versatility for your worship team. Load them up on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and you’re good to go. Whatever you play within the key of the pad loop sounds amazing, and each pad lasts for about 20 minutes.
So here’s the deal: head on over to coresoundpads.com and use the promo code “beyondsunday” and get yourself 20% off any purchase.

If I were to poll worship leaders across the world, I’d imagine most would say they don’t love to talk.
Most would prefer to sing, close their eyes, and worship their hearts out…in front of people. The problem with that is it’s not leadership. There needs to be a heart to love, lead, and connect with people in the room. That is why you are a leader. That is why you are on stage.
But the answer isn’t just talking a lot. We all know the difference. Too much can oftentimes be a distraction.
In my recent interview with Christy Nockels she called it the difference between leading aggressively and leading with authority. Aggressive leadership is being bold and based on personality. Leading with authority is, as Peter calls it in I Peter 4:11, “leading in the strength that God provides.”
That’s what we’re talking about.
There’s a difference between leading aggressively and leading with authority.” – Christy Nockels
What a treat to welcome Christy Nockels back on the show. For years she has been an inspiration to worship leaders, vocalists, and women in ministry.
In this episode we talk about her ministry transition, the new record, leading with authority, identity, parenting, and more.
