The Power of Biblical Songwriting with Aaron Shust
Tune in to episode 96 as we sit down with Aaron Shust to talk about the power of infusing scripture into your songwriting. Aaron Shust is an incredible writer, artist, and worship leader and was named the Songwriter of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards of 2007, and his song, "My Savior My God", received the Song of the Year award. Aaron's life calling as a Christian Artist and especially a worship leader is to point to Jesus. Scripture, Scripture-infused lyrics, lyrics that spotlight God's characteristics…these are exponentially more important than a jaw-dropping vocal or instrumental performance. One is far more vital than the other. If you need inspiration for writing lyrics or encouragement in your ministry, this episode is for you!

Bringing Heaven to Earth Through Worship with Josh Kluge
This week, we are honored to be joined by Josh Kluge (worship director for Oral Roberts University) to talk about what it actually looks like to bring heaven to earth through our worship. "The only way the agenda of Heaven moves forward purely and fully is if I'm surrendered and dependent on You." -Josh Kluge There are moments during every worship set where we have a choice; to stick with what we know will work or follow wherever the Holy Spirit is leading. In episode 95, Josh Kluge shares how he has been able to train his worship team to be comfortable with spontaneity and how much God has used them to impact the spiritual atmosphere of their campus. Don't miss this powerful episode! If you like what you hear, please leave us a review! The Worship Online Podcast is produced by Worship Online in Nashville, TN. At Oral Roberts Univerity, a huge part of the student experience is the culture of worship. ORU has a primary worship team called ORU LIVE who leads the campus multiple times a week in chapels, who travels domestically and internationally all throughout the school year, as well as write and record songs that are anthems for the University and all around the world. Students that are a part of the ORU LIVE primary team receive full-tuition scholarships and one of the coolest parts about this is you do not have to be a music major to participate on this team. If that sounds like something you'd want to be a part of, 4 times a year ORU has what's called "Quest Leadership Weekend" for prospective students to come to the University for a weekend to get a feel for what ORU is all about and to apply for other additional scholarship opportunities.

The Dos and Don'ts of Prophetic Worship with Emmy Rose (Bethel Music)
What are the dos and don'ts of prophecy? In episode 92, we are honored to be joined by Emmy Rose from Bethel Music to talk about how to utilize the gift of prophecy in a healthy way. Emmy was nurtured within the Bethel Music family for several years, working with Kalley Heiligenthal, Brian Johnson and a host of others. Throughout her journey, she has held on to a theme of purity and intimacy alongside a sense-filled impetus that there is always more and it has to be real. Prophecy in itself is a journey. It takes time and practice. It takes courage and being okay with getting it wrong sometimes. Throughout this episode, we share our personal experiences with prophecy, the good, and the bad. We talk about how approach someone if you believe you have a word from them, how to respond when you receive a word from someone else, and how to be confident in the gifts Holy Spirit gives you.
