There is a difference between powerful singing and leading worship. But what is it?
I had the honor of talking with Kari Jobe about this very topic.
We also discuss her new album, Majestic, as well as caring for your voice, breaking down denominational walls, how to stay fresh as a worship leader, and the power of the Cheez-it baked snack cracker 😉
One of my takeaways was this quote from Kari:
“Worship leading is the broken, hungry, & desperate leading for the broken, hungry, & desperate” (Tweet that).

Nice interview. Loved her ideas on singing with a spiritual sound and training your voice so that you can go where the Spirit leads.
Same here. That’s how I try to view all my music – preparing for the moments when God says “now” – “now” I pour out my Spirit on you.
Fantastic podcast. Always loved hearing her heart for worship, and your questions were very well directed for her as a worship artist. Loved her suggestions for worship leaders and how to stay fresh and keep their voices on target.
Thanks Rachel – appreciate the encouragement. I really liked the idea of doing vocal warm-ups every day during the week.
Great podcast! I will definitely be getting her album off of iTunes as a result. Thanks for including the clip of “Forever”. I was at work and just started crying as God’s presence worked through that song.
That’s awesome, bro. Such a powerful song!
Great encouragement! leading worship is the broken, hungry and desperate leading the broken, hungry and desperate to find Jesus.. i
We did Forever in Worship over the weekend. It was very well received. We did it during communion. By the time we hit the first chorus and bridge, the plates had been passed and people began to stand and as they picked up the melody they began to sing with us. It was very gratifying to take a leap and play a song that most had not heard and have the congregation jump in and worship to a new song.
Overall a good song and easy to play and orchestrate with some very nice textures.
Agreed, man. Our church has been loving it. A song that hits the mark and truly resonates.
Hi kari jobe what is your cellphone number from sarah hill
Great podcast! Enjoyed it. Thank you David! I am struggling as a lead worshipper right now because there are many vocalists and musicians in our church that our worship pastor has available to call on. It may be a couple of months before I have the privilege of singing and serving. It keeps me broken, hungry, and desperate. More importantly, it keeps me humble, open to where God is leading me and what he desires to accomplish in me and through me. “Forever” is another song that causes me to be still and just worship, taking in the awe and wonder of our Lord. Wow. There are no words. Just wow.
