Worship Podcast
“If worship is a lifestyle, why is corporate worship so important?”
“If it’s all about our hearts, why do we need to sing songs together? Couldn’t I just stay home and worship God on my own?”
If you heard this before (or said this before) you’re not alone. Many people wonder about the purpose of corporate worship and why it’s so necessary.
I can understand the reasoning.
There is a difference between powerful singing and leading worship. But what is it?
I had the honor of talking with Kari Jobe about this very topic.
We also discuss her new album, Majestic, as well as caring for your voice, breaking down denominational walls, how to stay fresh as a worship leader, and the power of the Cheez-it baked snack cracker 😉
One of my takeaways was this quote from Kari:
“Worship leading is the broken, hungry, & desperate leading for the broken, hungry, & desperate” (Tweet that).
Don’t miss it!

What makes music powerful? Take a minute and ponder that question.
What are the qualities that make for engaging, powerful musicians?
Because it’s obvious that some have it and others don’t.
When certain musicians take hold of their instrument, magic happens. Still others who may have more experience or taken lessons longer, don’t have it.
Think about it – how many times have you heard someone who’s taken lessons for many years only to find out they weren’t very good?
So if lessons aren’t the key, experience isn’t the answer, and time isn’t the x factor – what is it?
Most worship leaders have a rehearsal plan.
Week in and week out, we have our routines. And routines are great as long as they don’t dull our senses to what is happening.
But more and more these routines are shaped by our modern culture.
I want to make a statement today that we need to rediscover something in our modern worship teams.
We need to uncover a rehearsal topic that can be forgotten in the fast paced, production oriented, rock and roll style worship service.
Have you ever felt that you were made for more than fitting in and following rules?
That you were destined to do something great? Somewhere between our childhood dreams and today’s reality we lose the idea that anything is possible.
In this podcast I talk with professional musician and author Seth Bolt of the band Needtobreathe. Seth and his brother, Chandler, have written a book about this very topic and are giving away all the proceeds to charity.
While this is different than the usual worship leading fare, I knew this message and cause was compelling enough to share with you.
