Worship Podcast
Going deep with God. That’s important, right?
But it’s almost like we’ve equated going deep with being weird. So we’ve gone the other way. For fear of being weird, we’ve kept ourselves from diving headfirst into Jesus. From allowing His lordship to permeate our speech, our time, our entertainment, and our choices.
But we need to go deep. Especially if you want to be a lead in any way. Especially if you want to make a difference, Depth is not a question.
The Spirit’s job description is to showcase the magnificence of Jesus.” – Zac Hicks
One of my favorite books for worship this year was The Worship Pastor by Zac Hicks. So naturally, it was essential that Zac come on the podcast to talk about it, right? It’s really a wonderful balance of practical and academic reading. It balances devotional with theological very well. And I love that the chapters are short!
In this podcast we talk about Zac’s recent transition a Presbyterian Church to an Episcopal Church and the worship leading differences in both. We also talk about new songs, the new book, and what it means to be a worship pastor, not just a worship leader.
Enjoy!

If you’re a worship leader, you’re probably tired right now.
The Christmas season is upon us. Attendance is up, expectations are high, and there’s tons of new music to learn.
Slow down. Take a deep breathe. Realign your heart with what matters most in this moment. Hope is here. Jesus has come to save. The glories of the Gospel are just as real as they were 2,000 years ago in a Bethlehem stable.
This is the reason we’ve decided to release some new Christmas songs. Matter of fact, they are available today. We’re so excited to share with you Light of the World by Allison Park Worship.
We talk a lot about songs. We talk a lot about music. We talk a lot about worship. But an often neglected (but no less important) aspect of leading worship is how you approach transitions.
In this post I want to give you an outline for how to think through your transitions each week. And this is something you should think through and give as much attention to as the songs themselves.
What I want to do as a worship leader – every time – is create a meeting place for God and people.” – Cody Carnes
I love when a person’s heart and passion for Jesus is larger than the gift they carry. Cody Carnes is one of those leaders. Cody is a songwriter, worship leader, and husband to the amazing Kari Jobe. In this episode we talk about his formative years leading worship at Gateway, Kari’s upcoming new record, his new worship project WELLS, fatherhood, gear, and much more.
Be encouraged. This is a good one.
Enjoy!
