How to Get Your Church to Sing w/ Philippa Hanna

from Worship Online Podcast (For Worship Leaders)

Philippa Hanna grew up singing in social clubs across Yorkshire, England, raised in a family where music was everything. She was pursuing a professional music career by her early twenties, but something was missing. Then at 21, she walked into a small church and a fearless, unpolished worship leader named Godfrey Birtle changed everything. Not because he was impressive. Because he was free. In this episode of the Worship Online Podcast, Philippa shares what that moment taught her about what worship leaders actually carry, why fearlessness matters more than polish, and why she believes her job is not done until the congregation is singing. Not watching. Not nodding. Singing. She also talks about her new album Magnificent, co-written and recorded with Israel Houghton, and what she has learned leading worship across cultures, generations and continents. This conversation will challenge the way you think about your role on Sunday. Listen now. Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.
