Christian Steffen is utterly passionate about wasting 40 minutes of your time. Okay...sometimes an hour. Each month, I'll refine the fine art of irreverence and introduce new songs, talk about pressing issues faced by worship leaders and chase down Matt Redman.
Christian sits down with Victor Estrada from Calvary Church in Santa Ana to talk about planning and leading different types of worship services and being a led leader.
Steppin' out and become the world-famous guest worship leader you've always imagined yourself to be. Chris Tomlin be damned.
