Reveal: Worship Decentralized
by Christian Steffen
Christian Steffen is utterly passionate about wasting 40 minutes of your time. Okay...sometimes an hour. Each month, I'll refine the fine art of irreverence and introduce new songs, talk about pressing issues faced by worship leaders and chase down Matt Redman.
