Worship Podcast
When it comes to preparing for Sunday’s worship, we have the usual routines.
We pick our songs, we arrange the music, we schedule the band, we rehearse. But what if I told you there was more to your preparation than that?
What if I told you there were ways to leverage your influence on a deeper level each weekend?
I know, we’re all busy. But no one wants to get stuck in dead routines that have no meaning. This post is all about breathing life into those rhythms we keep every week.
It’s a powerful truth when you realize Christ is within you and Christ wants to extend His grace through you.
This theme runs deep in the music of Justin Jarvis, worship leader at the Harbour Church and artist with Jesus Culture Music.
Justin has a heart for the presence of God, a unique voice, and powerful songs that will shake the complacency right out of you.
In this conversation we talk about all things Jesus Culture, being used by God, guitar pedals, comic books, musical influences, and healthy worship team culture.
Don’t miss it!

We say that worship is a lifestyle, but how many of us actually live it?
Merriam Webster defines lifestyle as “a particular way of living: the way a person lives or a group of people live.”
If that’s the case, this is pretty important stuff.
It makes sense, right? The Bible isn’t silent on this matter:
“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31).”
All.
Do all.
Whatever you do.
Genuine worship is marked by powerful transformation. It’s impossible to truly worship God and not be changed.
The more we see Jesus, declare His promises, and place our faith in His goodness, the more we’ll be the kind of people He wants us to be.
This (and much, much more) is what Dustin Smith and I talk about in this interview. Dustin is a worship pastor at World Revival Church and a songwriter with Integrity Music.
This conversation ebbs and flows from songwriting to spontaneous worship to loving people and Dustin’s new album. Dustin is filled with wisdom about worship and has some seriously great one-liners in this interview.
I promise you – you will be stirred and encouraged by Dustin’s heart.

The most important dynamic of your setlist isn’t your songs.
It’s more about the fire in your heart, the anticipation in showing up, the wide eyed wonder of your gaze, and bringing others along to do the same.
But there’s a way to craft your setlist that will distract or engage the room.
When crafting a worship set, you want to frame an experience that will stick with people long after the worship service is over. It’s not just about emotional highs, cool music, and happy sing-a-longs.
We’re after God’s heart, right?
We want to experience His very near, very real presence.
