In the past 15 years, worship music has become mainstream, with a broader reach being played on non-religious radio stations and popular artists collaborating with worship artists/teams. However, there are some influencers who believe that this movement has created little to no disciples.
In this episode, Scott and Micah tackle the controversies and give our opinion on if modern worship music is creating disciples of Jesus.
Scott and Micah discuss the issue of control in worship. Has there been a moment where you were told, as a church leader, that the worship set, sermon, or other worship elements needed to be changed? Scott and Micah discuss their and others’ experiences when they had to change their “normal flow of worship” or even argued and defied the change being addressed. We also discuss that openness in our worship spaces is the best way as it allows the Triune God to be the object and the controller of worship.
