Why We Play Worship Music & The Heart Behind It

In this episode, we talk about the heart behind worship. The "Seek First" principle is something we should all have as a number one priority in our lives as Christians… especially as worship leaders. Matthew 6:33 says "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you."   The entire point of leading worship is to help other people connect with this truth. When we seek God first, He becomes the foundation of our lives and everything else is a bonus… a blessing. When He is first, and his people (Kingdom) are a priority in our lives, then playing, singing, charts, sets, etc. all become secondary… simply put, they are expressions or tools that we use to help facilitate an encounter with God, with him being the ultimate priority and focus.   This is why aside from our introduction, it's our first official episode… because it's the most important… the foundation for this entire podcast. As we unpack more logistics, questions, things to make us sharper in the world of worship leading and music… we will always point back to Episode 2. The reflection of what we discuss will always go back to our heart for seeking first the very presence of God, His Kingdom, His righteousness.   We're excited to go on this journey with you and can't wait to explore this next chapter with you on the podcast!   Be sure to check out https://www.worshiponline.com/podcast to sign up to win a FREE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION and to get connected with our team!
