Taylor on Theology for Worship Leaders, Emotional Health, & Worship as Discipleship appeared first on Beyond Sunday Worship.

Uncertainty and destabilization comes at a moment's notice. When faced with uncertain times, what do we turn to? W. David O. Taylor turned towards writing prayers in the form of collects when the world shut down March 15th, 2020. In this conversation, David explores various spiritual disciplines and practices for deepening one's prayer life and connection to God, especially during times of uncertainty. He shares how writing ancient-style prayers called "collects" brought him comfort during the pandemic, and discusses the importance of community, creativity, and ordering desires through prayer. Our conversation offers insights into cultivating spirituality through different artistic mediums, architectural spaces, and focusing on God's faithfulness rather than becoming overwhelmed by life's challenges. Join us as we discover prayer through the collect and root ourselves in our connection with God. W. David O. Taylor is Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary and the author of several books, including "Prayers for the Pilgrimage" (IVP, 2024), "A Body of Praise" (Baker Academic, 2023), "Open and Unafraid" (Thomas Nelson/HarperCollins, 2020), and "Glimpses of the New Creation" (Eerdmans, 2019). He has also written for The Washington Post, Image Journal, Religion News Service, Theology Today, and Christianity Today, among others. An Anglican priest, he has lectured widely on the arts, from Thailand to South Africa. In 2016 he produced a short film on the psalms with Bono and Eugene Peterson. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his children and artist wife, Phaedra, with whom he has produced three sets of illustrated prayer cards.

David Taylor preaches on the way God sees and loves us, pouring his grace on us, and on the ways we might in turn see one another with love. W. David O. Taylor is associate professor of theology and culture. Recorded at Fuller's All-Seminary Chapel on February 28, 2024.  

In this episode of the podcast I am overjoyed to be able to share my recent conversation with none other than Dr W David O Taylor (hereinafter merely “David”). David is the associate professor of theology & culture at Fuller Seminary, the author of a ton of books… oh, and he was the guy responsible for pulling Bono & Eugene Peterson together for this magical conversation a few years back. Relevant to this conversation, David was (for a significant period of time) a pastor in a church that consisted almost 25% of artists, and he intentionally pastored these artists for their own apprenticeship to Jesus.  He also helped them think through how their vocations served the church and the world.  A lot of that wisdom and experience ended up in Glimpses of the New Creation (the book we primarily talk about), as well as his most recent book, A Body of Praise. I was particularly grateful for the opportunity to chat with David so close to the launch of the 4th annual Imagine Arts Fest, which I help lead in my own local context.  This was a wide-ranging conversation, to be sure, but we kept circling around questions like:Was (is?) Jesus an artist? Does God care about “aesthetics”?The conversation may get a little highfalutin' at times, but (surprisingly) these esoteric questions keep getting grounded back down to earth… earthiness… the ground of being, the ground beneath our feet, and the ground of which we are composed. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit marcjolicoeur.substack.com

If Jesus is the reason for the season, why do most Christians celebrate Christmas at home with their families rather than at church? David Taylor, a professor of culture and theology at Fuller Theological Seminary, joins Skye to discuss the origins of Christmas in America. He says Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, and Coca-Cola have done more to influence how we celebrate the birth of Jesus than gospel writers. And he explains why the Puritans who first settled in America believed Christmas was satanic. Speaking of Satan, we have an update on the Satanic Temple display in the Iowa State Capital. The Texas Supreme Court made a controversial, and confusing, ruling about abortion. And what happens when Americans say they're more religious but they are less likely to engage in religious practices like attending a church?   Holy Post Plus Getting Schooled - Saint Nicholas https://www.patreon.com/posts/94956592   0:00 - Intro   1:29 - Show starts   3:57 - Theme Song   4:18 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https://worldrelief.org/holypost/ to download your family refugee guide and learn more about the Path Community   5:37 - Live Show Recap   11:14 - Satanic Statue Decapitated   22:01 - Texas Abortion Case   44:09 - Republican and Democrat attitudes towards Religion   56:33 - Sponsor - Get 35% off your first order of Sundays.

Do you struggle with how to pray? Do you find yourself holding things back from conversations with God? Do you need a guide or a road map or something to help you deepen your prayer life? Today's guest has one answer for you: pray the psalms.Theologian W. David O. Taylor is an author, speaker, and minister with a heart for bringing together art and ministry. He is the director of the short film, Bono & Eugene Peterson on The Psalms. He currently serves as Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary. His most recent book, Open and Unafraid: The Psalms as a Guide to Life, shows readers how to use the poetry and song of the psalms to bring their anger, doubt, praise, and thanksgiving to God--even if what we're feeling seems disrespectful or even unfaithful. The psalms are prayers that have been prayed for thousands of years, and cover the entire spectrum of the human experience.Resources:https://www.wdavidotaylor.com/Find David on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookBuy Open and UnafraidWatch Bono and Eugene Peterson on The PsalmsStreetlights, which David references in the interview

Can you name the five senses? Now for all five of those senses, when's the last time an experience of worship full-throttle delighted you? Was it a special service, like Christmas, a special day, like your wedding day? Was it the first time you experienced the worship tradition you now call home? Has it been awhile?God loves our bodies, and God wants to engage us and delight us, every bit of us, in worship of him. How do we know God loves our bodies? And if Jesus' ministry was so concerned with bodies, why have Christians been so attracted to gnosticism? How can God's nonverbal communication skills help us with conflict? How do our bodies belong in worship, how do we know what to do with them? Where do we get the idea the quiet and stillness always mean reverence, and when might we need to shake that up?We welcome the Rev. Dr. W. David O. Taylor onto the show.

In this episode, we engage in an enlightening conversation with W. David O. Taylor, the author of the thought-provoking book, "A Body of Praise". We take a deep dive into the complex subject of the significance of our physical bodies in the context of corporate worship. Taylor's book is a powerful testament against the belief that our bodies are at best negligible and at worst a hindrance in worship. He argues passionately that our bodies are crucial, offering what only they can in worship, and aiding in the formation of Christlikeness within us.Taylor's rich insights, drawn from a range of sources including the Bible, church history, and theology, provide listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the role and purpose of our physical bodies in worship. He goes a step further by integrating unique perspectives from the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation, broadening our understanding of our physicality in worship.One of the key arguments in Taylor's book is the vital role of our postures, gestures, and movements in worship, asserting their significant contribution to our spiritual formation. He also places great emphasis on the crucial role of our senses - sight, scent, sound, taste, and touch - in worship and how engaging these senses can profoundly enrich our worship experiences.Taylor further explores the importance of both spontaneous and prescriptive activities in shaping us during worship. Our conversation wraps up with a reaffirmation of the importance of a body that is fully alive in the praise of God. This episode promises to be an enlightening journey that may compel you to reevaluate your own engagement and perception of your body in worship. Join us as we navigate this enriching conversation, which is sure to deepen your understanding and reshape your worship experience.Buy his book: https://a.co/d/2Gd8jk8Guest Bio:Born in Guatemala City, W.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a recent article written by Kelsey Kramer McGinnis for Christianity Today titled, “Worship Music Is Emotionally Manipulative. Do You Trust the Leader Plucking the Strings?” To be sure, there is much here to consider, particularly whether the music is serving to connect you with God or simply to the songs themselves… or even the people singing them. Episode Links In general, people seem to have lost a sense of the true meaning of worship. For this reason, Dr. White delivered a series at Mecklenburg Community Church called “Worth-Ship” to explore what it means to truly give honor and worth to God. Dr. White referenced the call to worship found in Scripture, specifically in Psalm 100 that says: “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness” (vv. 1-2, NLT). In The Message translation of the Bible, verse two is written this way: “… sing yourselves into his presence.” The potential for worship music to manipulate our hearts and minds has been considered for a while now. Here are two additional news stories mentioned in this episode that are worth the time to read: Bob Smietana, “How Bethel and Hillsong Took Over Our Worship Sets,”Christianity Today, April 12, 2023. W. David O. Taylor, “Hymns and Neurons: How Worship Rewires Our Brains and Bonds Us Together,”Christianity Today, August 29, 2022. It is not only worship teams who can be susceptible to creating emotionally manipulative songs and experiences. It's also necessary for teaching pastors to make sure they are delivering a message rather than a performance. This was touched on during previous podcast episodes such as “CCP51: On Prosperity Preaching” and “CCP31: On Celebrity Pastors.” The discussion then shifted to online worship experiences, as a Pew Research Center study found that many adults still choose to attend church online and are very satisfied with the online worship experience. This was further explored by Dr. White in his book Hybrid Church: Rethinking the Church for a Post-Christian Digital World. Finally, when churches such as Mars Hill and Hillsong began to be investigated for their failings, a lot of people were quick to lump all large churches into the same bucket. We suggest that you go back and listen to two previous podcast episodes, especially considering that when the church was birthed into existence it was a megachurch! Those episodes are: “CCP40: On Criticism of Mega Churches” and “CCP53: On Asbury and Revivals.” For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday.

Today we're talking about the Psalms with Regent alumnus W. David O. Taylor, who serves as an Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Seminary and Director of Brehm Texas. What do the Psalms––especially the unsettling ones––bring to the life of faith? How do we reconcile the all-too-human anger we find in so many Psalms with Jesus's command to love our neighbours––even our enemies? Is the brutal honesty of the Psalms really Christian? If you've ever wondered how to find a place for anger, grief, and bare humanity in the Christian life, this podcast is for you. To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming courses, visit: www.regent-college.edu.

(00:00-08:52): Well, we are here in the day after. Brian and Ian share their thoughts and feelings about how election day went. Brian says he was having a good time watching everything unfold. Ian says he enjoys listening to the coverage, rather than staring at it. Alvin Oomen writes “No Matter What Happens, Christians Must Be Peacemakers Amidst Election Day Unrest” in Relevant Magazine. Also, W. David O. Taylor writes “7 Election Day Collect Prayers”. (08:52-25:42): We were joined by author and political scientist, David Koyzis. He gave us his insight to the potential outcome of the presidential election. We cover the Red and Blue states, cities, counties, and regions. Is what is happening what we expected? He also discusses a retweet from Tim Keller, who references his book “Political Visions and Illusions”. Centrism is not the way to go. The wise way to address two ideologies is not to find the compromise between the two, it is still idolatry. The Christian way is not the middle way, it is the true way. (25:42-35:03): Carey Nieuwhof writes “5 ‘Normal’ Things That Are a Total Waste of Time in Leadership”. In this convicting piece, Nieuwhof touches on ways leaders waste theirs, and other’s time (35:03-44:27): David French writes in The French Press “How We Heal: The remnant alone can't repair our land”. (44:27-54:07): What is the difference between loneliness and solitude? Brian and Ian discuss this piece by Zaria Gorvett in BBC “How solitude and isolation can affect your social skills”. PLUS, Beth Skwarecki writes “Tweak Your Work-From-Home Life for Better Health” in Life Hacker. (54:07-1:04:11): Samuel James writes “The Case for Civility” in The Gospel Coalition. What if digital technologies and upward mobility have displaced and isolated us because we find their moral demands on our relationships much easier than the demands of true civility? (1:04:11-1:12:21): Ian and Brian close with a touching and convicting Facebook post by VInce Wooloff. It tells the story of a boy and his father, and aims to teach the value of time.

Returning guest, David Taylor, professor at Fuller Theological Seminary, theologian and pastor, just released his latest book, Glimpses of a New Creation-Worship and the Formative Power of the Arts. I invited him to talk about the chapter he wrote specifically on the kinetic arts as part two of the podcast's mini series on dance and the human body. We discuss the conflict and negative perspectives church culture has towards dance and how embodying worship is essential to our God given humanity.  You can find David's book at: https://www.amazon.com/Glimpses-New-Creation-Worship-Formative/dp/0802876099/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IQ17MIZEBOL5&keywords=glimpses+of+the+new+creation&qid=1567490597&s=gateway&sprefix=glimpses+of%2Caps%2C426&sr=8-1 Read more of his writings and thoughts at: http://artspastor.blogspot.com  

W. David O. Taylor, director of Brehm Texas and assistant professor of theology and culture, discusses the Curse Psalms as faithful articulations of anger and how they point the way to healing. The theme of the 2019 Brehm Conference, “Worship, Theology, and the Arts in a Divided World,” focused on how worship, theology, and the arts might be vehicles for reconciliation and forge unity across divides—whether political or economic, racial or relational, linguistic or cultural, in the academy or in the public square, inside the church or outside of it. David M. Bailey, founder and executive director of Arrabon, was the conference’s keynote speaker. The celebration included lectures, conversations, worship and more, and was sponsored by the Brehm Center for Worship, Theology, and the Arts.    For more resources for a deeply formed spiritual life, visit Fuller.edu/Studio
