How has striving affected your life? Seriously, think about it! It's so easy to believe the lie that getting the better gear, a bigger team, the right connection, or whatever it might be THAT THING will solve all our problems. Striving is the result of something within that believes what you'll gain on the other side will bring you all you need. BUT SO OFTEN THAT'S A LIE What if we could step into the freedom that comes with living a life free of striving? Achieving that is not something you stumble into. It's something that our guest, Andrew Ripp says, requires a violently intentional pursuit. But it's a freedom that's worth that violent pursuit Mentioned in the Episode Andrew Ripp's New Release Andrew's Song "Jericho" --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Has your involvement in worship professionally or as a volunteer impacted your relationship with worship music? Can you listen to worship music without getting distracted by some aspect of it?

This conversation is all about finding intentional ways to connect with God in your personal time of worship. Our friend Criag Denison at First15 has given his life to creating resources for connecting with God throughout the week & we're excited for him to share with us here on today's episode.

As leaders, it's so easy to get caught up in our tasks & miss the pinnacle characteristic we are called to cultivate.

Our guest today, Pastor Scott Wilson, global pastor at The Oaks & founder of The Father Initiative, unpacks what this looks like & what it means to be a true Spiritual Father! Leading in this way is one of the most important things a leader can do & here Pastor Scott breaks down what that looks like!

When it comes to leading the next generation, what used to work with previous generations doesn't work anymore. As worship leaders, if we want to keep them engaged with our ministries, then we have to adapt. Creating ways for them to sit back & consume doesn't generate buy-in like it used to. They want to belong & contribute. This isn't a new concept, but here in the Post-Christian era with Gen-Z covering the newborn to post-grad spectrum, it's crucial to get this right. No longer does this only apply to student ministries. To borrow a phrase that 2020 burned into our memories: it's the new normal. It applies to us all!

Have you ever found yourself leading from a persona or felt the pressure to seem like you have it all together? In life & leadership it's really easy to operate out of places inauthentic to who & where we truly are. It's not charisma or having it all together that makes a leader great. It's the ability to live authentic, humble, & present in every moment. This is something that Pat Barrett models super well & in our conversation we talk about how these 3 things will allow you & your team to thrive.
