Worship Podcast & Blog
There was a book I read in college that challenged me deeply. It was called Thriving As an Artist in the Church. It was pastoral, wise, and carried compassion for both artists and pastors.
Then I went on to read a prior book called The Heart of the Artist. Both books were by this guy Rory Noland. And today we have the privilege of hearing from this legend.
We talk church, contemplative worship, spiritual formation, leading artists, and more.
Straight fire!
What insecurities are holding you back? I find this to be a helpful question in every season of life and ministry.

Was great to welcome Manuel Luz to the podcast this week. We dive deep into his new book, Honest Worship, and what that means for Worship Pastors. This is a below the surface, deep dive into what is most important for worship pastors.
So good!
It’s always a good day when Elias Dummer is on your podcast. Not only is he a great singer/songwriter, he’s incredible thoughtful when it comes to worship, theology, psychology, and discipleship.
There. Is. So. Much. Packed. Into. This. Interview. We talk new music, discipleship, neuroscience, recommended books, songwriting, the church, and more.
Enjoy!
Grief is a gift but it’s a grip and it will not let you go until you feel what needs to heal.”
Amanda Lindsey Cook
I’ve wanted to have Amanda Cook on the podcast for such a long time. Well friends, that time is now.
This has got to be in the top 5 favorite interviews I’ve ever done. There’s a lot of depth to Amanda’s creative process and also the recent journey she has walked through. I told her this was like a “therapy session for worship leaders.”
We talk about the new album, lyric writing, grief, depression, books, songs, and more. So good!
