The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey HH #582 A Body of Praise with Dr. David Taylor
Have you ever asked yourself if you’re worshiping God with your physical body? Have you wondered if the body is important to Jesus?
On today’s show I sit down and answer these questions with author of A Body of Praise: Understanding the Role of our physical bodies in Worship, David Taylor.
David is no stranger to The Happy Hour and you may remember him from last December when we discussed Advent. Today David and I talk about our bodies being used as an expression of praise and worship. We discuss how worship has very little to do with how we are raised, or our personality type, and instead has everything to do with what the scriptures commands of us. David draws on the wisdom of the Bible, church history, and theology. He takes a unique insight into the arts and sciences, ethics, and spiritual formation. David tells us there is something for our physical bodies to do that decisively forms Christlikeness in us within the context of corporate worship.
I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open mind and ask God how you can bring all of yourself to worship him!
