The Heart of Worship: What Happens When the Music Stops | Serge Moskalets #21

What is the heart of worship—and what happens when the very thing you use to worship is taken away?In this episode of the Eddiefied Podcast, I sit down with Serge Moskalets, Creative Pastor at Bayside Auburn, to talk about what it truly means to live a life of worship—not just on stage, but in everyday life.Serge has been serving in worship ministry for over 20 years. From leading youth worship at 3rd Slavic Baptist Church, to serving at Heights Church in Citrus Heights, to stepping into an Executive Worship Pastor role at Skyline Church in San Diego, and now back in the Sacramento area at Bayside Auburn—his journey has been shaped by calling, faithfulness, and a deep love for the local church.But this conversation goes beyond his experience.On Christmas Eve 2025, Serge lost his voice—the very instrument he had used for decades to lead others in worship. What followed was a 3–4 month season of recovery that challenged not only his ability to lead, but his understanding of worship, identity, and calling.In this episode, we discuss:What the Bible says about true worship (John 4:23-24, Romans 12:1)The difference between calling and performance in worship ministryHow to guard your heart as a worship leaderWhat worship looks like when there’s no musicHow God uses trials to refine our faith (James 1:2-4)What to do when God pauses or removes something you feel called toSerge also shared a powerful resource for worship leaders and ministry teams looking to grow and evaluate where they are in their calling:👉 https://worshipos.co/This tool is designed to help leaders identify where they currently stand in their ministry and challenge them to grow with greater clarity and intentionality.This episode is for worship leaders, musicians, and anyone seeking to follow Jesus more faithfully in every area of life.If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, purpose, or what it means to truly worship God—this conversation will challenge and encourage you.📅 New episodes drop weekly🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts👉 Don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share to help spread the message.
