What is TRUE Worship?
Description
Five hundred years of worship arguments have trained a lot of us to answer the wrong question. We fixate on songs, tempo, instruments, and “the sound” like the goal is to build the perfect music moment, then we wonder why church can feel hollow. We sit down and challenge the category error head-on: worship is not a genre, a set, or a performance. Worship is giving worth, and that means you and I are always worshiping something.
We talk candidly about how self-worship sneaks in through comfort, convenience, and the need to be entertained, even when the lyrics are theologically solid. Using Psalm 24, John 6, Romans 12, and Psalm 100, we explore how good gifts become idols, why God sometimes removes the very things we exalt, and how gratitude and joy are meant to shape our approach to Him. We also pull back the curtain on the worship leader’s world: why excellence matters as stewardship, how tech failures can become distractions, and why a Sunday platform can never replace a surrendered Monday.
The turning point is lifestyle worship. Work, marriage, friendships, private habits, and hidden sin all reveal what we truly treasure. If you’ve ever felt the split between what you sing and how you live, this conversation is for you.
