There are many misconceptions about how to engage in spontaneous worship. It requires a team & leaders capable of executing what the moment requires. So many think powerful spontaneous moments means coming up with a new song on the spot. But powerful moments aren't always about coming up with something highly energetic & brand new. It's about yielding to what the Lord wants to do – which often looks different than we expected. In our conversation with Red Rocks Worship, we talk about how to develop a team capable of engaging in spontaneous worship & what it looks like to faithfully steward a moment.

It's so easy to replace our time "with God" with "doing for God". Even our personal times of worship can sometimes shift from intimate encounter into preparing for a set, jamming, or writing. Those things aren't bad & they have their place! But in those moments, they are distracting us from our time with the Lord. So as someone involved in worship what's the best way to approach personal times of encounter?

This week we're talking about a few big topics! In a crisis of faith or a period of deconstruction should you push through or step down from the stage? How am I supposed to trust God amidst uncertainty when I have yet to see His faithfulness? These are only a few of the real questions that every day a huge percentage of people wrestle with. Although so painful in the moment, what comes out on the other side of engaging with it well is beautiful. Our guest, Rachael Lampa, knows what it's like to be in the limelight and simultaneously process through these hard questions.

How has striving affected your life? Seriously, think about it! It's so easy to believe the lie that getting the better gear, a bigger team, the right connection, or whatever it might be THAT THING will solve all our problems. Striving is the result of something within that believes what you'll gain on the other side will bring you all you need. BUT SO OFTEN THAT'S A LIE What if we could step into the freedom that comes with living a life free of striving? Achieving that is not something you stumble into. It's something that our guest, Andrew Ripp says, requires a violently intentional pursuit. But it's a freedom that's worth that violent pursuit Mentioned in the Episode Andrew Ripp's New Release Andrew's Song "Jericho" --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Has your involvement in worship professionally or as a volunteer impacted your relationship with worship music? Can you listen to worship music without getting distracted by some aspect of it?

This conversation is all about finding intentional ways to connect with God in your personal time of worship. Our friend Criag Denison at First15 has given his life to creating resources for connecting with God throughout the week & we're excited for him to share with us here on today's episode.
