Church Unlimited: Bil Cornelius Video

Nate Diaz of Elevation Rhythm joins Pastor Bill for an honest conversation about worship, identity, church hurt, ministry, and what happens when your calling starts getting tangled up with your ego. Nate opens up about learning to separate who he is from what he does, walking away from compromise even when it cost him, and why being a minister has to come before being an artist. He also shares the story behind Elevation Rhythm’s “Goodbye Yesterday” — from hearing the original demo and crying in his car to Steven Furtick helping reshape the bridge and watching a song people initially didn’t connect with become something that reached a generation. But the conversation goes deeper than music. Nate talks about finding identity beyond the stage, why God’s approval comes before achievement, healing from church hurt without walking away from community, and why real worship begins when we stop making ourselves the center of it.
