Worship Podcast
Ever feel discouraged?
Sometimes you are intimidated, overwhelmed, and stuck comparing your meager beginnings to someone’s massive success. There’s temptation to give up, look down, and punch your progress in the face.
Allow me to challenge you: never stop showing up.

Before you read the rest of this post, I want you to slow down. Pause. Breathe deep.
Seriously. We are in such a rush to get more done – to cram information into our brains and forget what matters most.
This is a blog post about God, His glory, and our responsibility to see and stand in awe.
Our worship services can become so busy for God that we longer take the time to notice God.
We’re not just coming together to sing, we’re coming together to see.
We’re not just gathering to praise, we’re gathering to peer deeper into glory.
It’s standing in awe more than it is standing in line to ask for more of God’s good gifts.
There is a big difference between leading worship and leading people.
To lead worship, all you need is a musical skill set. To lead people requires so much more.
In this podcast I sit down with Rick Muchow. Rick was the Worship Pastor at Saddleback church for 25 years, working under the leadership of Pastor Rick Warren.
He had some fantastic insights to share as it relates to pastoring people in worship.

As worship leaders, we love those times when the congregation is with us.
We ask them how they’re doing, and they respond. They sing the songs we chose. They are visibly expressing themselves to God.
Maybe they’re even chanting your name as you take the stage. Ahhh…worship leading bliss.
But what happens when people don’t worship – when the room feels frozen over?
