Hey gang! 

In our last episode of the season, we are taking your questions. We are listening to listener questions and discussing topics like confidence vs. arrogance in worship ministry, developing a culture of excellence, and building a worship ministry with little resources. We have had such a great time this season and are looking forward to being with you guys in the new year! 

Hey gang! 

This week on the Real Worship Podcast, we are discussing commitment and buy-in in the worship ministry. Why do people commit to a ministry and why do they stay long term? How can worship pastors develop strong, long-lasting relationships with their people? And how can leaders create a positive and uplifting environment for everyone involved? Join us today as we discuss “why they stay!”

Hey gang!

This week we shift our focus to the role of the layperson as a worship leader. Is a music ministry volunteer a worship leader? How does that work, and how should worship pastors work with volunteers? Laypeople are critical to the workings and success of just about every worship ministry; we are glad to talk about the vital role that anyone can play in the worship ministry of their church. 

Hey gang! 

This week we had the privilege of talking with fellow worship pastor Caleb Godfrey. Caleb is a close friend and someone that we respect as a worship pastor. We discuss things like his calling to ministry, and the role of the worship pastor outside the musical responsibilities, to name a few! Also, Collin is out of town. Will Zack and Joel self-destruct? Will there be anyone to fill the silence? Listen and find out. 

Hey gang! 

Last week, we wrapped up our conversation on lifestyle worship. Today, we want to examine the topic of corporate worship. We will look at biblical elements of corporate worship, such as preaching, scripture reading, prayer, and singing, and discuss how each of those incorporates them into our services. We also seek to answer the question, "how important is physically gathering as the body of Christ?" Is corporate worship something that we can afford to miss out on? Or can it be replaced by something else? Join us as we examine the gathering of God's people for worship.

Hey gang! 

Today we pick up where we left off last week: continuing to examine the idea of lifestyle worship. Last week, we discussed the biblical implications for worship not being limited to a specific time or place but something that Christians do with their whole lives. While corporate worship is crucial to the life of the believer, our worship does not stop when we are not within the walls of a church. This week we continue discussing this idea and offer some practical application for how lifestyle worship is to be lived out! We urge you to examine your life and see what gets the most attention and priority. We hope that we encourage you to glorify the Lord in your words, actions, reactions (that's a tough one), and relationships. 

Hey, gang! 

This week we begin a two-part look at the idea of "lifestyle worship." We recognize and affirm that worship doesn't just happen on Sundays but should take place at all times in the believer's heart. Part one begins our discussion and examines the idea that Christians are called to live their lives for the glory of God. We hope that our discussion causes you to expand your definition of worship to include everything that you do and that you might desire to do all things for the glory of God. 

Hey gang! We want to talk about worship. We know, we know, that's surprising based on the title of this podcast.  
This week's episode begins a 4-week journey of defining and unpacking worship itself.  Over the next 4 weeks, we want to help answer the following questions: What IS worship?  How do we live a lifestyle of worship?  And, what does it look like to worship together? 

We'll start by answering the question what exactly is worship?  This week we're discussing our definitions of worship both from a biblical and practical perspective.  Thanks for joining us!
