What determines the structure and flow of your worship service? What would be different if you and your people saw worship as a reorientation to God's story?
In this episode, I'll share the natural progression of worship that guides my planning and leading. I have found that when I've built a service around this flow, it lifts an unnecessary burden of production off of the worship team. Imagine how formative worship services could be if your people began to recognize how this flow helps them find themselves in God's grand story! In a future episode, we'll unpack how sacraments fit in this progression.

The "Think Again Worship" Podcast:
I believe that your leadership has the power and potential to help reorient peoples’ lives to the hope of the Gospel.
This podcast is all about exploring that. It’s about re-thinking our rhythms, traditions, and habits – not so we can just throw them all out, but so that we can bring new life to the practices in worship that can shape and transform our people. Think Again Worship: whether you’re a worship leader, pastor, or someone who just goes to church – thinking freshly about what happens when we gather can be transformative.
