Podcasts about worship leading

Kristian Stanfill has been leading worship at Passion Conference for a long time. He's seen God move in ways most worship leaders only read about. And yet, the thing he keeps coming back to isn't the stage. It's the secret place. In this episode, Keith Elgin sits down with Kristian to talk about the new Passion album Just That Good, what it looks like to prepare for something as massive as Passion Conference while still staying open-handed, and how Kristian's personal journey of healing changed the way he leads — at home, on his team, and on the platform. They also dig into what it looks like to mentor the next generation of leaders like Landon Wolfe, JJ Hasulube, Rachel Halbach, and Chidima Craig — and what Kristian would say to his younger self if he could go back. This one is practical. It's honest. And it will challenge the way you think about preparation, presence and what it actually means to lead from the inside out. If you lead worship, you have to listen to this whole episode.   Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.

“Just for a momentCan we fix our eyes on Jesus?There is no other reasonWe stand and sing these songs”from Magnify (Just For A Moment) by Paul BalocheI have not seen the adjective “pastor” attached to Paul Baloche very often, but I can tell you that there are few people I've met in the wider world of worship leading who are more pastoral than he. I was blessed to have him on the pod way back in 2022 (episode here), where we talked about…-crazy online worship leading experiences during Covid-extremes on the left AND the right within the church-how we may have gone “far enough” with multitracksThis time around, we talked about..-his excellent (and about to be revamped book) God Songs (which we've been using in class @ Kingswood)-his journey as a songwriter that led him to write songs for the likes of the late great Ron Kenoly-the theology of the guitar solo, and how AI may (or may not) be able to worship GodI hope you'll enjoy the conversation, and if so, I hope you'll share the love!(If you prefer to watch than listen

Erin doesn't have all the answers. She's not a deep diver, not an academic, not someone who can study her way through the hard questions. What she has instead is a childlike trust in a God who she knows is real, who she knows is there, and who she knows has it — even when she doesn't understand.Part 2 of Erin's Chip Lunch conversation picks up where Part 1 left off. After years of drifting in and out of church, Erin and her husband Chris found their way to Soul Revival: first to Kirrawee with her brother Pete, then to the small and eclectic Cronulla gathering. They stayed because Chris said something that stuck: maybe God put them there because the church needed them as much as they needed the church.Erin talks about what it's actually like to commit to a small church — the challenges, the deep relationships it creates, and the unexpected gift of raising two boys in a community where the adults treat them like real people in an intergenerational community. She talks about her brother Pete's longtime friendship with Matt Redmond, an old 1860s church building her family spent years restoring in the country, a husband who grounds her, and a dog named after Frank Sinatra.And when we ask what she'd tell her younger Christian self: just trust. Be open with God. You don't have to have all the answers. It's not a cop out, that's faith.

In this weeks episode Jono shares a recent conversation between his colleague Dr Ryan Hawk and Mrs.Jude Frame about being a disciple and a worship leader and what that looks like in Jude's life. It's a powerful conversation and we hope you enjoy it.

What happens when a simple video of leading worship sparks a viral "kerfuffle" north of a million views? This week, the guys sit down with Courtney Lancaster from the "Heal/Create" podcast to unpack the "Holy Trinity of Christian Outrage": religion, gender roles, and the deconstruction movement.  Courtney shares the story behind her unexpected Instagram traction after posting a video of herself leading worship and opening up about her "faith reorganization." The conversation explores the tension of staying within a faith tradition while holding views that differ from conservative evangelical norms.  Key Discussion Points: The "Mean Christian Comments" Game: Courtney and the hosts react to actual comments from her viral post, ranging from questions about women in ministry to accusations of "New Age psycho-babble."  Theology of Shame vs. Trauma Recovery: A deep dive into why many were raised with the identity of "shame and depravity" (the idea that God is only good because we are bad) and how trauma-informed therapy offers a different lens on our value as "well-loved children of God."  Worship Lyrics and Integrity: Courtney explains why she refuses to sing songs that rehearse a shame narrative, such as certain lyrics in "Reckless Love," arguing that a child shouldn't have to "earn" or "deserve" a parent's love.  Post-Christianity and Individualism: The crew debates the concept of "post-Christianity"—stripping out parts of the faith one likes while discarding the rest—and whether this leads to a "narcissistic" echo chamber or a healthy "faith reorganization."  The Future of the Church: Reflections on the closing of Mountain View Church and the hope that more "centered-set" spaces will emerge where people can wrestle with divergent ideas without being "kicked out."  Information Overload: Andy and Courtney discuss how our brains aren't designed to handle the "woes of the world" delivered via 24/7 digital feeds, and the importance of "touching grass" to maintain mental health.

A workshop that provides tools and concepts for worship teams to grow and lead better!

Michael interviews Adam Westlake, a worship leader and biblical counselor, about using music and singing as a growth assignment in counseling. Westlake describes singing as “integrative work” that aligns what believers know and feel, citing Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5 on singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and discussing James' connection between suffering, prayer, and cheerful singing. They argue singing is often under-practiced outside Sunday services yet can help sufferers express truth “slant,” foster solidarity, and provide “portable theology” the Spirit brings to mind. They address concerns about emotional manipulation, emphasizing tethering emotion to what is true about Jesus, and note the value of varied song forms. Westlake shares a daily text-based devotional, “Sing,” and the episode ends with him leading the doxology.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:37 Meet Adam Westlake01:04 Why Singing Matters04:53 Singing in Suffering07:39 Worship Leading and Counseling09:56 Emotion and Worship13:26 Music as Homework17:22 Daily Sing Devotional19:41 Doxology and FarewellEpisode MentionsRegister Now for the 2026 Called to Counsel Conference All My Questions - Bethany Bernard (Spotify) Sing - Daily Devotional with the Worship Initiative Better Days Counseling - Adam Westlake Counseling

Podcast Notes: The Future of Worship Leading with David Santistevan Episode Overview In this episode of the Church Front Worship and Tech Podcast, Luke Jackson interviews David Santistevan, a seasoned worship pastor, podcast host, and ministry coach. David shares insights from his 25 years in worship ministry, including his experience as a local church worship pastor, his five years traveling the country in an RV, and his current work helping churches develop healthy worship cultures. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:00] David opens with reflections on the current state of worship ministry Concerns about worship becoming too automated and standardized The danger of "sleepwalking through worship" when relying too heavily on technology David's Background [01:15] 25 years in worship ministry Host of the Beyond Sunday podcast for 12 years Served as a worship pastor at his home church in Pittsburgh for 12 years Sold his house and traveled in an RV with his family for 5 years Currently based in Orlando, Florida The RV Journey [03:42] Family decision to sell everything and travel Visited nearly 40 national parks and all lower 48 states Combined adventure with ministry - partnering with churches for training and workshops Recording the podcast from their RV wherever they had WiFi Beyond Sunday Podcast [05:59] Started as a blog before transitioning to a podcast Focus on practical worship ministry topics Emphasis on serving the "underdog" local church worship leader Has recorded over 330 episodes interviewing worship leaders and artists Covers everything from rehearsal techniques to team development Reconnecting with Unique Church Identity [13:12] David's concerns about homogenization in church worship "What God's doing at Bethel is wonderful, but what God's doing at my church is amazing as well" Warning against equating worship ministry success with being a worship artist Encouragement to embrace your church's uniqueness and "don't despise small beginnings" "Worship ministry isn't about writing songs or being cool... it's about loving people and making disciples" Ministry Longevity vs. Career Advancement [18:28] Discussion about the "climbing the ladder" mentality in worship ministry Importance of evaluating church culture and staff health Some worship pastors finding renewed joy in smaller churches after megachurch burnout Warning against "shiny object syndrome" - the constant pursuit of the next opportunity "Maybe instead of transplanting yourself to a team that's more put together, God is calling you to invest in your little team" Working with Different Church Cultures [22:32] David's experience serving diverse churches during his RV travels Finding common ground across different worship styles and approaches Universal desire for authenticity and encountering God Helping teams focus on playing together rather than just playing perfectly "Rehearsal practice is personal and rehearsal is relational" Over-Programmed Worship [26:22] The shift away from midweek rehearsals and its impact Getting too focused on executing flawless services Missing the relational and spiritual elements of worship preparation "We've gotten really good at pulling off excellent services... but we miss out on the presence-based flow in worship" Finding Balance Between Structure and Flow [29:36] Importance of unity with church leadership before making changes Building trust with your pastor before introducing new worship approaches The problem with "playlist worship" - hitting play and running on autopilot Practical suggestions: planning fewer songs to create more space Introducing medleys and acapella moments for more organic worship Creating Powerful Worship Moments [35:29] Planning intentional space in every worship set The power of quiet moments when the band drops out Creating opportunities for the congregation to sing without amplification "My favorite moments of worship are when the band has dropped out and the people of God are just singing at the top of their lungs" Incorporating simple refrains that don't require people to think too much The State of Worship Songwriting [40:15] Reflection on the current trends in worship songwriting Concerns about songwriting becoming an idol Provocative suggestion: "What if we just went on a worship songwriting fast for six months?" Benefits of focusing less on what's trending and more on what local congregations need Balance between developing creativity and obsessing over new songs Current Worship Influences [47:05] David mentions Aiden King's "Thank You So Much Jesus" as a recent favorite Discussion of the distinction between worship music as a listening category versus congregational worship David's love for ambient, instrumental music (particularly Hammock) The therapeutic value of music without lyrics for worship leaders Conclusion [51:02] Where to find David: Instagram and YouTube @BeyondSundayWorship David's appreciation for the Church Front ministry and resources Key Quotes "We're sounding the same, we're doing the same songs in the same way... it's almost like we're on autopilot a little bit." "Don't despise how small your church is right now... that's the beauty of the body of Christ." "Worship ministry isn't about writing songs, it's not about being cool... it's about loving people. It's about making disciples." "My favorite moments of worship are when the band has dropped out and the people of God are just singing at the top of their lungs." "What if we just went on a worship songwriting fast for six months? What would that do for us if we just stopped writing songs and releasing worship music for a little bit?"

Sam McCabe, a singer-songwriter and worship leader from Houston, Texas, speaks with Mike about quarterly preaching, and the pitfalls and opportunities that are available to those who preach messages and then wait three months until the next time! He speaks about the dangers of being over-prepared, and the opportunities to meditatively think through a passage and its implications in the long gestation period leading up to a teaching. Sam also talks about the relationship between the teaching of the Word and the worship of the church - which one prepares for the other? Additionally there is some very practical advice on how late in the week a preaching pastor should suggest songs to the worship team!  Sam endeavors to craft songs that resonate with the depth and complexity of real life. From moments of profound joy to the depths of grief, from the peaks of hope to the valleys of loss, Sam's music explores the entirety of the human experience, intertwining themes of sanctification, doubt, and unwavering faith. His artistic journey surged forward with the release of his 2020 single "I Want To Serve God," marking the beginning of a prolific career. Subsequent singles, such as "Christ Be In My Heart" featuring the acclaimed Kristene DiMarco from Bethel Music, and "Jesus Loves the World" featuring Leeland, further solidified his presence in the music scene. Sam's albums, "Altar Fire I" and "Altar Fire II," delve into the transformative journey of following Jesus, offering listeners a soul-stirring exploration of faith and spiritual growth. Adding to his impressive repertoire, Sam is set to unveil his highly anticipated full-length live worship album, "The Death of Death," in early September of this year. Boasting collaborations with renowned artists including Pat Barrett, Leeland, Andy Squyres, and his own wife, Samantha McCabe. Sam's influence extends beyond his solo projects, with notable cuts alongside artists such as Bethel Music, Maverick City, Brandon Lake, Chris Tomlin, and David Leonard.

Join us on a musical journey with the Dove Aware Winning Recording Artist, the inspiring LaRue Howard, a woman whose heart beats to the rhythm of worship. She shares her melodious story, from humble beginnings singing hearing Charlie Pride songs on her uncle's porch, to her thriving ministry in music. In addition to this, LaRue graces us with invaluable insights on vocal health, the importance of staying hydrated, and introduces us to her vocal athlete spray made of pure essential oils. LaRue's infectious passion for music, her unwavering dedication to spiritual and vocal health, along with her deep understanding of the unique challenges in music ministry will strike a chord with anyone who holds a deep affinity for singing, choir, and worship. Mietta brings has our CRQ and leads us in a conversation that reveals the crucial role of community and local solutions in growing a music ministry. We traverse the potential of hosting music workshops within your own group, tapping into local resources, and then reaching out to the wider community to tackle obstacles. We don't just scratch the surface; we dive deep into the balance between impressing and impacting when it comes to growth, and how seeking opinions and asking the right questions can pave the way for success.Dorian also takes a moment to reflect on the timeless hymn, 'Grace Greater Than Our Sin,' its powerful message, and how it encapsulates the essence of grace. Then, Coleman puts in the capstone of this episode with a very thought-provoking thought for the week..."Faithfulness". If you have a love for singing, whether in a choir or as a solo performer, this episode promises to not only entertain but also furnish and inspire you. Don't let this chance to soak in LaRue's wisdom, zeal, and practical advice for promoting choir and music ministry growth, slip away.https://www.larueministries.com/https://www.instagram.com/laruelive/https://www.youtube.com/@LaRueOnlinehttps://www.facebook.com/laruelivehttps://www.tiktok.com/@ladypraizaPerpetuating and Promoting the Christian and Positive Idea Through the Medium of Music and Other Arts.

Tyler Christian Roberts joins us today to speak into leading worship from a healthy place, drawing from his own experience as worship pastor at Red Rocks Church.

Could Your Worship Leadership be Unintentionally Steering People Toward Idol Worship?   This episode with Red Rocks Worship tackles this game-changing question head-on, offering indispensable insights for worship leaders and their teams.   Special Guest: Red Rocks Worship brings their seasoned perspective on what it truly means to center on the Lord in our worship leadership.   Why This Matters: It's critical that we evaluate if our leadership might inadvertently be placing something - even good things like the love of spontaneous worship or excellent quality bands - other than God on that throne.   Critical Takeaways: Worship isn't just a Sunday experience; it's a committed lifestyle. Small, unnoticed shifts could be paving the way for heresy in our leadership. Leading with 'fear of the Lord' is crucial to keep your worship genuinely focused on what pleases Heaven. Maximize Your Impact: Worship Online is your secret weapon for transformational worship sets. With song tutorials and resources, you'll not only save hours but also remove weekly prep stress.

Pride. It's something many worship leaders and musicians struggle with. Yet, as Christians, we follow the most humble human who ever lived: Jesus. Though Jesus was God, He laid down His rights (and His life) for the good of others. How can we become more humble as worship leaders? And why is it important? How do we handle team members who are exhibiting pride? These are some of the questions I ask Hanz Ives, who has been Greg Laurie's worship leader for over 26 years. He has stood on the stage in front of tens-of-thousands at the Harvest Crucades...and yet he says the most impressive thing he's ever seen are humble and others-oriented people. Let this episode encourage you to grow in your humility.

Do you ever catch yourself measuring the success of a service by the amount of feedback you receive or how well you think you performed? I think everyone identifies with that experience.   Insecurity is a common human experience, but it doesn't have to rule your worship leadership.   I believe there's a direct correlation between losing sight of our intended purpose and giving in to insecurity.   In today's episode with NewSpring Worship, we discuss how to realign our self-worth & regain a healthy perspective on our roles as worship leaders.   Join us as we dive into the relationship between understanding our purpose and overcoming insecurities.   Find out more about Worship Online and how we can serve you and your worship team at WorshipOnline.com    Mentioned in the Episode NewSpring Worships Releases ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

What if the way you lead is the reason your church isn't engaging in worship like you wish they would?  There's two types of Worship Leaders: those that sing songs & those that lead rooms.  The things present in a worship leader that knows how to lead a room makes the world of difference in a service.  Today we talk with David Dennis, a worship leader at The Belonging Co. & one of our vocal instructors here at Worship Online.   Here David shares what he prioritizes when leading worship in order to facilitate powerful environments of encounter.  If you want your congregation to grow in their engagement of worship, join us in today's episode!  Mentioned in the Episode  TBCØ "This Far"  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!
