#67: Kim Walker Smith On Boldness In Worship, Jesus Culture, Christmas Music, & Being A Messenger

When it comes to pursuing Jesus, there’s only one way to come: with boldness.

We have been given access into His presence by a new and living way. So we come trembling in awe yet with the confidence of sons and daughters.

That’s what I love about the ministry of Kim Walker Smith. She is bold, takes risks, and listens to what the Holy Spirit is saying.

We talk about that as well as Jesus Culture music, her new Christmas album, and about carrying a message, not just talent.

#66: Clayton Brooks On The Oaks Fellowship, Brutal Honesty, & Dying To The Praise Of Man

Sometimes you just have to be honest. You have to strip away the game and get real with God.

As worship leaders we have a tendency to live in a world of comparison, criticism, man pleasing, and self centeredness. But without pure, honest, real hearts of desperation for God, we have nothing.

That’s what I love about this conversation with Clayton Brooks. Clayton is the Worship Pastor at the Oaks Fellowship in Red Oak, Texas.

Clayton’s story is a call to obedience, to face what’s uncomfortable, to be the real thing. You excited to hear this?

#65: Dan Dean On Phillips Craig and Dean, Multi Generational Worship, & Pastoring People

PCD_001 If there’s one challenge every worship leader faces, it’s unifying the generations in worship.

My guest on the podcast this week has a unique perspective on this because he is both a worship leader and a senior pastor.

Dan Dean, from the popular Christian group Phillips Craig and Dean is both a recording artist and a pastor.

In this conversation we talk about the worship leader/senior pastor relationship, connecting the generations, the band, and an amazing story Dan shares from the road.
