Your worship team isn't just playing music. You're teaching theology and shaping hearts. So why are we settling for cover versions of songs when the church should be leading the world in creativity? For centuries, the church birthed the world's greatest art: Bach's masterpieces, Handel's Messiah, hymns that shaped nations. But somewhere along the way, we stopped creating and started copying. Steele Croswhite, who toured with Foo Fighters and Maroon 5 before Jesus transformed his life, believes it's time to reclaim our creative calling. After 20 years of ministry, Steele has built something revolutionary: a church where worship teams don't just play songs, they craft theological experiences that connect hearts to truth. In this episode, discover: Why worship leaders are actually theology teachers (and how your arrangements matter) How the church went from creative pioneer to cultural follower and how to reverse it The "Love God, Bless Saints, Win Lost" framework that transforms both music and hearts The practical steps to help your musicians find their God-given voice Listen now to hear what happens when creativity meets theology.
