For more than three decades, Darlene Zschech has been a voice that has helped shape modern worship, but she never set out to be in the spotlight. In this conversation, Darlene shares how she wrestled with the responsibility of leading worship, learning to keep her heart focused on giving God glory rather than receiving it. She reflects on the early days of Hillsong, the unexpected journey of Shout to the Lord, and the unseen life of faith that fuels authentic worship.Darlene also opens up about some of the challenges she's faced—battling cancer, navigating the pressures of ministry, and learning to trust God in every season. She shares insights from her new devotional, Testament, written to mark the 30th anniversary of Shout to the Lord, and the importance of remembering God's faithfulness. This conversation is an encouragement to anyone seeking to live a life of worship—one that magnifies the worth of Christ and keeps the glory where it belongs.

Stephanie engages in a heartfelt conversation with renowned worship leader Darlene Zschech, who likes to remind us that learning to trust God is a superpower! Darlene invites us into a life of authentic worship. She challenges us to cultivate a heart rooted in humility, to pursue genuine connection with God, and to understand the profound impact of living a life centered around worship. Darlene emphasizes the necessity of approaching worship without pressure or performance. She underscores that God's love is unconditional and is not influenced by our achievements or failures. This invites us to worship and create from a place of freedom, where we can focus on building a sincere relationship with God rather than seeking approval or validation from others. Darlene shares her own journey, highlighting how she learned to adore God not for His gifts or as a task to check off, but simply to be in His presence. God's delight in us is not contingent upon our accomplishments, but is inherent to our relationship with Him. Engaging with God without any agenda other than presence leads to an authentic worship experience. Darlene's wisdom reminds us that trusting God is a superpower. Her personal experiences, including battling cancer, illustrate God's faithfulness and the necessity of discerning His voice. Humility in worship is non-negotiable. Darlene speaks to the trap of self-sufficiency, particularly for those naturally inclined to leadership and capability. She insists on the importance of shedding self-reliance and embracing humility to fully trust and depend on God. In a world craving attention, Darlene values the hidden life and the importance of remaining true to worship's essence. Her journey reminds us to fight for a culture of truth and humility. Darlene's experiences illustrate the significance of nurturing deep roots in God's Word and maintaining accountability in our faith walk. She cautions against the allure of fame and the pressure to create commercialized versions of worship, advocating instead for a focus on genuine expression that aligns with God's heart. Darlene's testimony of God's faithfulness during her battle with cancer is particularly moving, as she reminds us to trust both God's whisper and shouts alike. Nurturing a close relationship with God prepares us to discern His guidance during pivotal moments. Stephanie asks Darlene about the church's role in cultivating worship leaders. Darlene stresses the importance of mentoring and discipleship within worship teams, encouraging leaders to uphold a culture of truth, confidence, and humility. This environment ensures that the focus remains on facilitating worship towards God rather than self-glorification. Darlene's experience with Christians in India teaches us about true devotion and reliance on God. When comfort isn't an option, desperation calls out to God, showcasing His incredible faithfulness. Here are some of the key insights Stephanie will remember from her conversation with Darlene.

CONNECT WITH DARLENE ZSCHECH https://www.darlenezschech.com/  “First and foremost, I am a woman who simply and wholeheartedly loves Christ, and serves Him through loving my family, serving the church, and speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” – Darlene Zschech Darlene Zschech is an award-winning Australian singer-songwriter, worship leader, pastor, author, and speaker. With three GMA Dove Award nominations, the winner of GMA's International Award for influence in praise and worship, and the achievement of 16 Gold and one Platinum ARIA album, her songs have reached many nations around the world. However, Darlene's success simply stands as a testimony to her life's passion for serving God, her family and people with all her heart. Alongside her husband Mark, they are the Senior Pastors of Hope Unlimited Church (HopeUC) on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, which now has churches in the US and India. Darlene is perhaps most famous for the worship anthem “Shout to the Lord,” a song that has been sung by millions and translated into multiple languages. In addition to “Shout to the Lord,” Darlene's catalog includes “In Jesus Name,” “Victor's Crown”, “Worthy is the Lamb,” and over a hundred others which have greatly contributed to the worship in the contemporary Church worldwide. Darlene is passionate about raising and training other worship pastors, leaders, teams, and writers. To this end, she has penned six books which have been translated internationally. Darlene and Mark live in the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales with their family: Amy and her husband Andrew, Chloe and her husband Hosanna, Zoe and her husband Matthew and their six beautiful grandchildren Ava, Roman, Ruthie, Thea, Elias and Nora. MORE ABOUT “TESTAMENT”, DARLENE'S LATEST ALBUM New album "Testament" is not just about memories, it's a statement that worship leads to encountering Christ afresh in every moment. Australian worship leader Darlene Zschech unveils her highly anticipated studio album, “Testament.” The new release marks the milestone 30-year anniversary of “Shout to the Lord,” a song that became an anthem for the church worldwide. It is also a stake in the ground to the faithfulness of God, as the title track declares: “My testament is you.” Stirred by friends and family, Zschech crafted a collection of 25 reimagined legacy songs and five brand-new tracks. From iconic songs such as “Cry of the Broken” and “Victor's Crown,” to fresh offerings like “Spirit of the Living God” and “Yes Again,” each song carries a powerful sound that is just as vibrant today. It also features many artists like Martin Smith, SVRICINA, Mitch Wong, and Michael W. Smith among others, as well as various choirs and the Australian Christian Orchestra, creating an expansive and eclectic project filled with the sound of praise, thanksgiving, and rich collaboration. This album embodies Zschech's story and her experience of God's unfailing love, not only in worship ministry but in each intricate details of her life too. It's a family project, described by the artist as “songs that have deep meaning to my family, that have helped shape me and kept my focus heavenward.” “Testament” weaves together songs that have been the soundtrack to her children's lives, her battle with cancer, and her adventures planting churches and starting non-profits alongside her husband. It also features multiple family members, including Zschech's daughter, Zoe Cameron, on “Shout to the Lord.” Commenting on this central song, which was penned before Zoe's birth, Zschech said: “I wrote it quickly while crying out to God about our future, saying that no matter what, we will follow him. I was young in age and young in God. ‘Shout to the Lord' changed things around us, but the things that really matter never changed and never will: God is faithful and attentive to our prayers.” Harnessing this central theme of faithfulness, “Testament” communicates its close relationship to obedience and thankfulness. It's the sound flowing out of a lifetime lived with the Lord, the very meaning of worship. Zschech is adamant that worship is not a genre but the whole of one's life poured out for the glory of God: “I'll always find it hard to wrap my head around the miracle of worship, music, and song. There's really no other vehicle available to us on earth that has the ability to bring to attention our mind, auditory senses, resting our hearts, moving the soul and spirit to a point when your whole self is pointed in the one direction. Such is the power of worship as the Holy Spirit leads our heart heavenward, Jesus-ward, through the magnificent sound of sacred song.” “Testament” is not just about memories, but it's a statement that worship leads to encountering Christ afresh in every moment. Zschech's prayer is that this collection of songs would play a part in people's story as they too are reminded of God's incredible faithfulness.

Learn more about The Promise and Power of Easter here. Find out more about CH Ministries here Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is the fourth in our series on worship and is part two of last week's episode with Darlene Zschech, who many consider to be the mother of modern day worship music. Brooke Ligertwood ~ who's one of the most anointed people I've ever had the pure joy of being led to the throne room of Jesus by and whose songs are also beloved by millions of Christ followers around the world ~ was mentored by Darlene in Australia and Brooke not only refers to her as a mother of worship music, she explains that her longevity of service to the church and devotion to God and His people make her accolades pale in comparison. Because while Darlene paved the way for how so many of us now praise our Creator Redeemer in public sanctuaries, as well as the privacy of our cars and kitchens, she carries her calling with tangible humility. But don't mistake her humility for weakness because she continues to tutor the body of Christ in how worship is a weapon through which we can push back the darkness and hang on to the goodness of God when our circumstances are anything but. Y'all better strap yourself into your rockers on the porch today, because our Aussie "Aunty" is about to take us to church! So please grab an extra large cup of coffee, as well as your Bible and get ready to have your spiritual sword sharpened because you're going to be inspired to plunge it into the scaly heart of that evil dragon, satan, in short order. I truly believe today's going to be a turning point for some of you who've almost given up hope that you'll survive ~ much less win ~ the battle that's currently raging in your heart and mind. We're so glad and so grateful you're here on the porch with us today ~ hang on, I promise fresh hope is right around the corner. He's got you...He has NOT abandoned you and He never will.

And I'm playing my phone-a-friend card with all of you amazing backporchers because I have the wildly undeserved privilege of hanging out with one of my heroines of the faith and while I'm going to do my very best not to fan-girl since that's tacky and biblically indefensible, I can assure you I'm about to be discombobulated. Plus, when I'm around a saint with as much integrity and wisdom as Darlene Zschech, I tend to babble even more than usual so please pray for me and you might want to hover your finger above the fast forward icon so you can leapfrog over my wind-baggyness! Darlene Zschech is an Australian singer-songwriter, worship leader, author, and speaker. She and her husband Mark are the Senior Pastors of Hope Unlimited Church (HopeUC) on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, which now has churches in the US and India. She's won more awards than you could fit in the back of a Ford F150 ~ including the Gospel Music Association's International Award for influence in praise and worship ~ and has recorded a slew of gold and platinum projects over the past three decades. She's probably the most well-known for writing and singing “Shout to the Lord,” a worship anthem that's been sung by millions and translated into multiple languages. However, when you meet Darlene it becomes immediately apparent that her kindness and humility actually dwarf her extraordinary musical gifts. Today is a really special, red-letter sort of day on the porch so please grab your favorite drink, some yummy snacks, your Bible, and a journal and come prop your feet up with me and "Darls." And don't forget to pray y'all, because I'm already feeling light headed!

The End of It All Alisha EichEveryone goes through struggles and tough times in life. Everyone questions the “Why did this happen to me” feelings. Everyone knows they have a God given calling – but sometimes, “life just gets in the way.” Amen!That is what happened with our guest today.Alisha Eich developed a serious interest in singing, playing the piano, and writing music around the age of 11. Influenced by worship leaders such as Darlene Zschech, Delirious, Brooke Fraser, and Hillsong United during her teenage years, Alisha learned how to write music that is creative, authentic, and spiritual.Raised in a ministry-minded home, she was greatly influenced by her parents, with the emphasis in her home on using one's talents to serve God. This is a principle that continues to guide her today.She released some music a few years ago and then “Life” got in the way a bit. She got married, had four children… but the calling on her life persisted.Alisha Eich's newest solo single, “The End of It All,” (released on June 14th), speaks about the sovereignty and purposes of God amidst the chaos and struggles of life. The song weaves a narrative from creation in Genesis to our redemption in the New Testament, acknowledging God's eternal redeeming plan. Addressing daily struggles and emphasizing the importance of clinging to Jesus, Alisha reminds listeners that no matter what challenges arise, Jesus Christ remains a steadfast creator and friend. Amen.Help me welcome to the program, Alisha Eich! Alisha, thank you for taking the time to join us today. I do appreciate it!The first question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Alisha Eich?”You grew up in a Christian home. I believe I read where your parents were in the ministry as well. Is that correct?How did your home life bear out in the music you created and performed growing up?You collaborated with your song, “The End of It All,” with Lloyd Nicks. How did you get connected with him to collaborate on this song? Have you worked with him before?You've been nominated for GMA (Gospel Music Association) Awards before. Is this one going to win you another nomination?I know being a wife and full time mother is time consuming… Are you about ready to go on the road with your latest release? What's the plans you have in regards to that?Alisha, this is all so interesting. And your latest song, “The End of It All” is absolutely amazing. How can someone obtain a copy of your song? Is it available on iTunes or something like that?If someone wanted to reach out to you, maybe to invite you to their church or an event, etc. Or just to ask a question or maybe to do an interview like this… how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?I'll put links to all of this in the show notes below.Folks, there is absolutely no way to replace what is in your heart. If you have Jesus in your heart, the music will reflect that. Amen. I find myself singing Gospel songs while cutting grass or just walking through the store.Now, I'm just singing them in my head…if I started singing them out loud, Brother Bob would probably be banned from going shopping… amen. I can't carry a tune to save my life… but…Alisha Aich sure can. Amen! You need to click the links down below and grab your own copy of her music – and especially her latest release, “The End of It All.” Amen!This music will set your soul free, Praise God!Drop down into the show notes, reach out to Alisha and be sure to grab your own copy of her music… especially her latest release, “The End of It All.” AmenCONTACT INFORMATION:Email: visionpr7@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.alishaeich.com/“The End of It All” -...

EP 8: An Interview with Darlene Zschech On this episode, Darlene Zschech, worship leader, songwriter and author, speaks with Martin about worship, the church and more.

As we continue our week exploring various aspects of Jesus' kingship, today we'll celebrate his triumphant nature. What does it mean for God to be triumphant? Like most things with Jesus, the deeper we look, the more we'll find he is contradictory to the ways of this world. His victory is no different. Jesus' victory confounded the Jews on his time, and still confounds many to this day. May the nature of Jesus' triumph astound your heart and provoke worship and awe in you today. Our Scripture for today comes from  John 12:15, and today's worship is Victor's Crown by Darlene Zschech. Thank you for listening to today's devotional.  Has this podcast been a blessing to you?

As we continue our week exploring various aspects of Jesus' kingship, today we'll celebrate his triumphant nature. What does it mean for God to be triumphant? Like most things with Jesus, the deeper we look, the more we'll find he is contradictory to the ways of this world. His victory is no different. Jesus' victory confounded the Jews on his time, and still confounds many to this day. May the nature of Jesus' triumph astound your heart and provoke worship and awe in you today.   Our Scripture for today comes from John 12:15, and today's worship is Victors' Crown by Darlene Zschech.  -- The Songs Tell the Story, the 25 day Advent devotional is perfect for starting on December 1st and ending on Christmas Day!  Each reading only takes a few minutes and the stories behind how these Christmas hymns came to be are sure to make you hear & sing them in a whole new way. You and your family will want to listen to the songs with a newfound appreciation for how God worked to bring such timeless songs into our yearly celebrations of the gift of Christmas. Our hope is that each story reveals more of God's heart for you in this season and renews your sense of wonder for the birth of our Savior. So make sure to grab your copy at first15.org/advent while it is still available and to ensure you can begin reading it on December 1!
