Podcasts about Bethel

What does it look like for my life to be marked by the presence and promises of an open heaven? In this message, Pastor John Lindell shares how Jacob's encounter at Bethel reveals the reality of a God who speaks, moves, and meets us where heaven intersects earth. Our prayer is that you'll experience the nearness of God in a fresh way and live with an awareness of His promises and presence over your life.

A 15-minute podcast of Bible teaching, Monday - Friday, by the President and Editor of the Sword of the Lord Publishers, Dr. Shelton Smith.

Josiah doesn't leave the Book of the Law to gather dust again in the temple. Instead, he has it read to all the people, and together they join in renewing the covenant with the LORD. Taking concrete action in that faithfulness, Josiah undertakes to rid the land of idolatry as completely as possible. He even destroys the idolatrous shrine built by Jeroboam in Bethel, in fulfillment of the Word of God spoken three hundred years earlier. Furthermore, Josiah leads a Passover celebration beyond compare in the land of Judah. Nonetheless, the LORD's judgment against Judah will be carried out, and Josiah's life is tragically ended in battle against Pharaoh Neco of Egypt.  Rev.

The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

If I Can Just Touch Him: Resting in the Presence of God Today's Homily reflects on two Scripture passages . . . . . . a vision of Jacob at Bethel and the Gospel story of the raising of the official's daughter and the healing of the woman with the hemorrhage. The Homily begins by exploring the nature of a shrine, emphasizing Jacob's recognition of God's presence and the spiritual importance of resting in a holy place. Jacob's dream of a ladder connecting heaven and earth becomes a symbol of God's grace descending and the soul ascending. In the Catholic tradition, this ladder is often identified with Mary, who brought Christ into the world and continues to be a spiritual bridge between heaven and earth. The Homily then turns to the Gospel, highlighting the deep faith of the Jewish official who believes Jesus can restore his dead daughter, and the desperate yet confident faith of the woman who believes that even touching Jesus' garment can heal her. Their stories emphasize the transformative power of physical contact with the Lord. This culminates in the sacrament of the Eucharist, where the faithful come forward to be physically touched by Christ, receiving healing and grace. All the faithful are urged to rest and make a true thanksgiving after communion, allowing the grace of Christ's touch to fully penetrate their lives. How? Listen more to this Meditation Media.

The prophet Amos is famous as a fig-farmer who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah, but prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel. When I think of Amos I am reminded of the problem of place-idolatry, of religious formalism and the placing of our trust in things other than or in addition to the God of Israel. Jenny and I call this "Yahweh-plus," and we think it is definitional of idolatry itself, as in direct conflict with the fundament from which all else follows: Matthew 22:37–38 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. When places (or even structures/temples/cathedrals and churches) become religiously important in their own right idolatry is either looming or already present. Amos 5:4–7: ... thus says the LORD to the house of Israel:   “Seek me and live; but do not seek Bethel, and do not enter into Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing.”   Seek the LORD and live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel, O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth!   As always, getting an overview from a secondary source like this helpful video useful, but should never be a substitute for reading it yourself, allowing God's spirit to instruct you.

Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel." But Elisha said, "As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan." But he said, "As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground.When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit." He responded, "You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not." As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha kept watching and crying out, "Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.He picked up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, "Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" When he had struck the water, the water...

I. Introduction: The Book of Haggai matters because the Temple matters. The Temple matters because worship matters. Worship matters because God is a holy God and commands those who worship Him to be holy as well. The Temple is primarily about God's presence, but is also about God's place. Don't make the place more important than the presence. The pride of the Temple was a problem in Solomon's day and in Jesus' day. II. Read Haggai 1 & 2 (Matthew 6:33-34) III.

Fire and altars. Feeding pigs. Growing decent vegetables: Just what might those things have in common? Pastor Chris made some connections to the fiery story of Elijah and Elisha that included an intriguing passage from C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength. Along the way we talked about what it means to build an altar and, also, the sometimes hard truth that the building of altars we do for God may not result in anything obvious to us. The image associated with this sermon/podcast is titled "Fire from Heaven" and is anonymous.

Third Sunday after Pentecost Old Testament: 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14 1Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. 6Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. 7Fifty men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. 8Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground. 9When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, “Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.” 10He responded, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not.” 11As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. 12Elisha kept watching and crying out, “Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 13He picked up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. 14He took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha went over. Psalm: Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20 1 I will cry aloud to God; *         I will cry aloud, and he will hear me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; *         my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire;         I refused to be comforted. 11 I will remember the works of the Lord, *         and call to mind your wonders of old time. 12 I will meditate on all your acts *         and ponder your mighty deeds. 13 Your way, O God, is holy; *         who is so great a god as our God? 14 You are the God who works wonders *         and have declared your power among the peoples. 15 By your strength you have redeemed your people, *         the children of Jacob and Joseph. 16 The waters saw you, O God;     the waters saw you and trembled; *         the very depths were shaken. 17 The clouds poured out water;     the skies thundered; *         your arrows flashed to and fro; 18 The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind;     your lightnings lit up the world; *         the earth trembled and shook. 19 Your way was in the sea,     and your paths in the great waters, *         yet your footsteps were not seen. 20 You led your people like a flock *         by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Old Testament: 1 Kings 19:15-16, 19-21 15Then the Lord said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram.16Also you shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. 19So he set out from there, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, who was plowing. There were twelve yoke of oxen ahead of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle over him. 20He left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” Then Elijah said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?” 21He returned from following him, took the yoke of oxen, and slaughtered them; using the equipment from the oxen, he boiled their flesh, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out and followed Elijah, and became his servant. Psalm: Psalm 16 1 Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; *         I have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord,         my good above all other.” 2 All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, *         upon those who are noble among the people. 3 But those who run after other gods *         shall have their troubles multiplied. 4 Their libations of blood I will not offer, *         nor take the names of their gods upon my lips. 5 O Lord, you are my portion and my cup; *         it is you who uphold my lot. 6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *         indeed, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; *         my heart teaches me, night after night. 8 I have set the Lord always before me; *         because he is at my right hand I shall not fall. 9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *         my body also shall rest in hope. 10 For you will not abandon me to the grave, *         nor let your holy one see the Pit. 11 You will show me the path of life; *         in your presence there is fullness of joy,         and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. Epistle: Galatians 5:1, 13-25 1For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. 13For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. 14For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. 16Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. 18But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. 19Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, 20idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions,21envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. 24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. Gospel: Luke 9:51-62 51When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; 53but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55But he turned and rebuked them. 56Then they went on to another village. 57As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” 59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”61Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” 62Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

Amos 3:1-15 (NASB) 1 Hear this word which the Lord has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the entire family which He brought up from the land of Egypt: 2 “You only have I known among all the families of the earth;Therefore I will punish you for all your wrongdoing.”3 Do two people walk together unless they have agreed to meet?4 Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey?Does a young lion growl from his den unless he has captured something?5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground when there is no device in it?Does a trap spring up from the earth when it captures nothing at all?6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will the people not tremble?If a disaster occurs in a city, has the Lord not brought it about?7 Certainly the Lord God does nothingUnless He reveals His secret planTo His servants the prophets.8 A lion has roared! Who will not fear?The Lord God has spoken! Who can do anything but prophesy? 9 Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see the great panic within her and the oppressions in her midst. 10 But they do not know how to do what is right,” declares the Lord, “these who store up violence and devastation in their citadels.” 11 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “An enemy, one surrounding the land,Will take down your fortifications from you,And your citadels will be looted.” 12 This is what the Lord says: “Just as the shepherd snatches from the lion's mouth a couple of legs or a piece of an ear,So will the sons of Israel living in Samaria be snatched away—With the corner of a bed and the cover of a couch!13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,”Declares the Lord God, the God of armies.14 “For on the day that I punish Israel's offenses,I will also punish the altars of Bethel;The horns of the altar will be cut off,And will fall to the ground.15 I will also strike the winter house together with the summer house;The houses of ivory will also perish,And the great houses will come to an end,”Declares the Lord. Theme: God's people must be and do what God has called them to, lest they face disastrous consequences. Two Privileges & Two Consequences for God's People 2 Privileges 1) God's Calling of His People (3:1-2a) 2) God Calls His Prophets to Warn (3:3-8) 2 Consequences 1) God's Calling of Witnesses (3:9-10) 2) God's Call for Judgment (3:2b, 11-15)

Join Jeremy Jeremiah and Cloud of Witnesses Radio to welcome Professor Robert Fortuin to discuss the transformation of a humble midwife from a forgotten Alaskan village into America's newest recognized Orthodox saint!  This event represents a profound spiritual moment that defies all conventional expectations. Matushka Olga of Alaska emerges as both the first woman and first Yupik person glorified as a saint in America, her story a powerful testament to how extraordinary holiness can manifest in seemingly ordinary lives.• Glorification services will be held in Kwethluk (Alaska), Anchorage, and Phoenix to make this historic event accessible to more people • Matushka Olga was known for her boundless hospitality while her priest husband traveled to remote villages • She served as a midwife and spiritual support for her community, never turning away anyone with problems • After her repose, many healings were attributed to her, leading people to make difficult pilgrimages to remote Kwethluk From her remote home in Kwethluk—a village so isolated that visitors must fly to Bethel and then travel upriver by boat to reach it—Matushka Olga became the spiritual anchor for her community of just 200 people. While her priest husband traveled for weeks through dangerous terrain to minister to other villages, she remained behind, arms perpetually open to anyone in need. As the local midwife without modern medical facilities, she delivered babies in villagers' homes. But her ministry extended far beyond physical care—she became known for her boundless emotional and spiritual hospitality, never turning away anyone with troubles. What makes her glorification particularly significant is how it challenges our notions of sainthood. Rather than emerging from ecclesiastical prominence or dramatic martyrdom, her sanctity blossomed through consistent, humble acts of love in a place many would consider desolate. After her earthly repose, numerous healings were attributed to her intercession, leading pilgrims to undertake difficult journeys to her remote village. As one icon of her beautifully states, "God can create great beauty from complete desolation." The glorification ceremonies—scheduled across Kwethluk, Anchorage, and Phoenix—serve a dual purpose: honoring this remarkable woman while also drawing crucial attention to the ongoing needs of Orthodox Christians in remote Alaskan communities. Matushka Olga's story reminds us that divine grace works powerfully through those society might overlook, proving that no place is too remote and no person too humble to become a vessel of transformative love. If you're interested in Orthodoxy or learning more about St. Olga, please visit oca.org for more information.

The prophet Amos is famous as a fig-farmer who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah, but prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel. When I think of Amos I am reminded of the problem of place-idolatry, of religious formalism and the placing of our trust in things other than or in addition to the God of Israel. Jenny and I call this "Yahweh-plus," and we think it is definitional of idolatry itself, as in direct conflict with the fundament from which all else follows: Matthew 22:37–38 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. When places (or even structures/temples/cathedrals and churches) become religiously important in their own right idolatry is either looming or already present. Amos 5:4–7: ... thus says the LORD to the house of Israel:   “Seek me and live; but do not seek Bethel, and do not enter into Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing.”   Seek the LORD and live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel, O you who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness to the earth!   As always, getting an overview from a secondary source like this helpful video useful, but should never be a substitute for reading it yourself, allowing God's spirit to instruct you. Perhaps you will find the next great insight in Amos! God's wisdom and instruction in His word is infinitely deep: https://youtu.be/mGgWaPGpGz4?si=NdT60fNResrdLNyd

The principal focus of this podcast episode revolves around the contentious issue of whether Christians should financially support organizations that may be deemed heretical through normal commerce. We engage in a profound exploration of the implications of patronizing entities such as Angel Studios, which is affiliated with Mormonism, and how this intersects with the consumption of music produced by groups like Bethel or Hillsong, known for their controversial theological positions. Throughout our discussion, we emphasize the necessity of approaching these matters with discernment and a clear understanding of the potential theological ramifications of our choices. We also reflect on the broader cultural context in which Christians navigate these decisions, considering the challenges of living in a world where nearly all forms of entertainment and media may inadvertently support contrary beliefs. Ultimately, we aim to equip our listeners with a framework for making informed decisions that align with their faith and convictions.Takeaways: The Christian podcast community engages in theological discussions with an emphasis on love and charity, despite differing beliefs. The central topic of the episode revolves around whether Christians should support potentially heretical organizations through commerce. Angel Studios, which is Mormon-affiliated, raises the question of whether Christians should financially support their films and music. There is a tension between enjoying content produced by heretical groups and the potential consequences of endorsing their teachings. Critical thinking is essential when consuming media; discerning the theological implications of songs and movies is important. Music from organizations like Bethel or Hillsong, while popular, may carry problematic theological messages that warrant caution in church settings.

At least two tribal relocation efforts foreshadow what can go wrong when even small communities are forced to contend with the increasing threats posed by climate change. A report by the Washington Post, ProPublica, and Bethel radio station KYUK documents the ongoing difficulties which the residents of Newtok, Alaska confront after moving their village to escape the effects of the rising sea and thawing permafrost. We'll hear about that report and the worries about future efforts to react to changing landscapes.

After the tragic events surrounding the assault of Dinah and the violent retaliation that followed, Jacob's life is once again turned upside down. In mercy and patience, God repeats His command for Jacob to go to Bethel, not just to visit, but to dwell there and build an altar. In obedience and perhaps an increase in faith and trust, Jacob purges his household of foreign gods and idols and takes responsibility for his family's spiritual welfare. At Bethel, God appears again, just as He had before, and reaffirms His covenant promises. God renames Jacob “Israel” again, a reminder not of God's forgetfulness, but of His persistent grace. Once more, we see that God's love and mercy far outweigh our sins. The Rev. Dr. John Rickert, retired pastor in South Carolina, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 35. Genesis isn't just the start of the Bible; it's the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you've read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith.

ONE THING Run the race! Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. – Hebrews 12:1 (NLT)

In this powerful exploration of God's call, we delve into the life of Abraham and the profound implications it has for our own spiritual journeys. The central message revolves around the essential nature of God's call in our lives - without it, we remain spiritually dead. We're challenged to consider that God's call is not based on our qualifications, but rather it's His call that qualifies us. This humbling truth reminds us of our dependency on God's grace. The story of Abraham leaving his homeland serves as a poignant metaphor for our own faith walks. Like Abraham, we're called to step into the unknown, trusting God even when we don't have all the answers. This requires a daily decision to move towards God (symbolized by Bethel) rather than towards ruin (symbolized by Ai). The message urges us to examine our lives and identify areas where we're holding back from fully surrendering to God's call. It's a stirring reminder that true fulfillment and purpose are found not in comfort or worldly success, but in answering God's relentless call on our lives.

ONE THING Faith requires God! And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. – Hebrews 11:6

Miguel Angel Angeles, executive director of Bethel Radio & TV, shares the history of a ministry that started with one Christian asking a radio station to play audio cassettes of his sermons on the air. As the radio ministry encouraged and built up the church, it expanded into Venezuela, Colombia, and other areas. Today, Bethel is a network of hundreds of radio and television stations, based in Peru and reaching Spanish speakers all over Latin America and the world. Miguel will share about his own start serving in IT with Bethel TV, and how he came to understand the importance of bringing awareness of the persecuted body of Christ through Bethel programming. “My first time listening about the persecuted church was when Petr Jasek came to a conference in Peru to share his testimony,” Miguel said, “and it created a hunger for me to learn more.” After hearing Petr Jasek speak at a conference about his own arrest in Sudan, Miguel's church began to meet every Monday to pray for the persecuted church and to learn more about fellow believers facing Christian persecution. Week after week, God prepared Miguel's heart as it was continuously stretched by the stories of bold faith in the face of hostility and persecution. After reading Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs, Miguel knew he needed to share about persecuted Christians with the broader church in Latin America and with his radio audience. Listen as Miguel shares the heart of his church for missions. Churches dedicate one Sunday a month to focus on missions and missionaries. You and your church will be encouraged to make missions and praying for persecuted Christians a regular part of your worship gatherings as well. Pray this week for Miguel, his family, and Bethel Radio & TV as they continue serving the Lord and sharing the voice of persecuted Christians with Spanish-speaking people around the world. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians throughout the year, as well as providing free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

By Clint Porter - Everyone loves a good building project. However, God does not build the same way the great empires of man do. Let's trace the Biblical theme of two opposing cities from Babel to Bethel, on through the founding of the Church on Pentecost and finally to the New Jerusalem.

Is your worship team finding its voice—or just echoing someone else's?  In this episode, we sit down with John Dreher of Faith Worship Arts to explore the delicate balance between inspiration and imitation in modern worship culture.  John shares how the diverse, multi-generational team at their church built a worship culture that reflects their community, not someone else's. And here's the twist: it's not wrong to include elements of churches like Bethel or Elevation—if that sound genuinely reflects a part of your church. But when it becomes the whole identity, something crucial gets lost.  Today we discuss:  How copying others can unintentionally flatten your team's sound  Practical steps to develop your church's unique worship expression  Why humility, curiosity, and collaboration are key to helping your worship team fulfill its full potential.  If you're ready for your worship team to move towards a more authentic sound—this episode is for you.
