Worship Podcast
I love music. Without a doubt, the combination of lyric and melody is one of my favorite art forms in all the world.
But I’ve had a lingering question that has been in my mind as it relates to corporate worship.
Are we singing too many songs? And does the singing of songs eventually have an adverse effect on our hearts? [Read more…]
There’s something we can’t be reminded enough of as worship leaders.
What is it? It’s keeping it real. Coming back to the basics. Keeping our hearts focused on Christ.
I can’t think of a better person to talk to than Dave Pedde, president and founder of Sanctus School for Worshipers.
Dave was one of my professors at North Central University and was a massive influence on my worship leading.
In this interview we talk about worship education, being an authentic worshiper and leader, worship leading disciplines, and approaching corporate worship with a fresh perspective.

I can count on one hand the amount of weekends in the last 5 years where I simply “attended” church with my family.
I’m always on the worship team, leading people.
And I love it. I wouldn’t have it any other way. But occasionally it’s refreshing to simply come and worship.
The only problem is I have a hard time worshiping. I’d rather judge, critique, compare, and find my identity in the fact that I’m better than the worship leader I’m watching.
Spontaneous and prophetic worship can be a spooky topic.
But knowing how to listen to what God is doing in the moment and pastoring people through that is such an important part of corporate worship.
Jenn Johnson and I talk about this and so much more in this week’s podcast. It was such an honor to talk with Jenn as I’ve been a massive fan of her and Brian’s ministry over the years.

There’s a popular article floating around about the current state of modern worship.
Many of the points I would agree with. I’m thankful that Jamie is addressing these hard questions and fostering some great conversations.
But at the same time, I also want to present a perspective that I feel is missing.
None of this is new. None of these problems are new.
I don’t believe we are headed for a worship crash because these conversations and wars have been going on since the church has worshiped together in corporate fashion.
No, we are not headed for a crash. We are going to be OK.
But there is still a major problem.
