Curiously Kaitlyn - Why Do Christians Raise Their Hands in Worship?

from Shine FM

Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air? Kaitlyn and producer Mike explore where this practice comes from, what the Bible actually says about worship, and why different churches express worship in such different ways. They also unpack the tension between emotional worship and thoughtful faith, and ask an important question: What if God cares more about the condition of your heart than the placement of your hands?   0:00 - Theme Song   1:01 - Why Do We Put Hands Up in Worship?   3:45 - Ways of Worship   9:05 - The Anti-Hand-Raising Argument   14:45 - Sponsor - After Class Podcast - Take Theology seriously… without taking yourself too seriously: https://afterclass.libsyn.com/   15:58 - Sponsor - OneAccord - Live-translation platform built for churches!
