What is the NAR Movement?

In this episode, Kip and Steve invite you into The Lutheran Worship Podcast, hosted by the Center for Worship Leadership at Concordia University Irvine. Together, they examine the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and its growing influence on contemporary worship songs. The conversation explores the relationship between doctrine and practice, showing how what is believed shapes what is sung and experienced in worship. They walk through key themes that often come along with the NAR movement—including the Prosperity Gospel, Dominionism, and the Seven Mountain Mandate—while reflecting on how underlying doctrinal frameworks shape both theology and worship in the life of the church.
