How do you find your voice as a worship leader? This week we are joined by artist and songwriter, Leanna Crawford to talk about finding your sound. Leanna Crawford is an incredible vocalist and songwriter out of Nashville and tours regularly with artists such as Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, Jeremy Camp, Tenth Avenue North, and Matt Maher. Her passion is to serve young women who struggle with self-doubt and insecurity through music that empowers them. In episode 106, Leanna shares her story about what it took for her to find her voice and pursue her calling. It’s our constant downfall as humans to compare ourselves to others. But here’s the thing... there will always be someone out there who’s better than you and that’s OKAY. Because comparison is the number one thing you can do to prevent owning who you are. Perfection is a religious mindset and an unreachable goal. The pursuit of perfection only leads to disappointment but the pursuit of a relationship with God brings life. No matter your situation, your skill, where you live, none of that matters because you have a voice inside you that the enemy will never stop trying to hide.

This week we are honored to be joined by artist, worship leader, and songwriter, Hope Darst! Hope Darst is an incredible worship leader for The Belonging Co. in Nashville, TN, and has been traveling the world for over a decade leading worship with Women of Faith, Every Nation Ministries, Christ for All Nations, and many more. In episode 105, Hope opens up about her journey with God, the church, music, and how she learned to overcome the grief of losing a dream. We all have dreams and goals for how we want our future to look like. But what’s even more important is the passion you have to back up those dreams. Passion embraces failure, it defies limitations and brings you hope when you are once again let down. So often, we fit God into our agenda rather than aligning with His. But what would happen if we were to actually surrender, and fall in line with the will of God? Listen in to this great episode as Hope shares how she overcame the death of a dream and built an even better one. Also be sure to listen to her brand new single, Peace Be Still, available now!

Is the Church playing it safe when it comes to creativity?  In podcast episode 104, we are honored to be joined by Jordan Holt (Worship Online Instructor/Guitarist for Kari Jobe) to talk about redefining your creativity and the importance of taking risks!  Creativity in definition is about doing something NEW.  If you want to thrive in life you have to be willing to get uncomfortable. You have to be willing to try new things with no predictable outcome and you need to be willing to embrace failure.  “Failure is an option here. If things are not failing you are not innovating.” - Elon Musk  In episode 104, we talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are moving forward, how Christ modeled creativity, and how much we can impact the church if we were only willing to take more RISKS.  Don't miss this powerful episode!  And click here to read "What it Means to Be a Creative for God" for the full blog that inspired this podcast!  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

This week’s episode comes to you preceded by lots of prayer as we talk about suicide and depression in the Church.   In 2018, Andrew Stoecklein, the pastor of Inland Hills Church in California, took his own life. Just less than two weeks before, Andrew had preached a sermon on depression and suicide, and how to battle it.   The Church was in shock... it didn’t make sense. Approximately one million people a year commit suicide and their pastor was one of them.  In episode 103, we are honored to be joined by worship leader at Inland Hills Church, Andrea Hamilton. When Andrew died, Inland Hills Church desperately needed their leaders to rise up, and Andrea did just that.   This episode is meant to educate, and help us all to be more aware of the warning signs of suicide. Especially in the Church wherein some situations, mental illness has been perceived to be the result of spiritual weakness.  Listen in as Andrea shares her story about how Andrew’s death affected her and the Church, and how even through it all, Inland Hills grew stronger and more alive than ever.   We pray this episode empowers and encourages you all and if there’s anything we can do to better serve you through this podcast, please let us know.  And for anyone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or knows someone in need, please visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call 1-800-273-8255.  Just a reminder that this is the last week to win $100 gift card to Sweetwater!  TO WIN, subscribe to our podcast, write a review on iTunes, and then email us at podcast@worshiponline.com with a copy of your review.

As worship leaders, we can be so focused on ministering into others people’s lives that we end up neglecting our own needs, often to the point of burnout. This week, we are honored to be joined by two of the worship leaders from Journey church in Franklin, TN, Tim and Stephanie Skipper. In this podcast, we’re talking all about inner healing, spiritual practices, and the difference between isolation vs. solitude. We breakdown why embracing vulnerability is the key to our healing and how the Church can be more aware of the loneliness epidemic that is deeply affecting our culture.
