Episode 3: Preference or Presence?
Musical preferences often stirs tension—between young and old, tradition and innovation, culture and style. But when preferences take center stage, the presence of God can get pushed aside. In this episode, we dig into how worship leaders can navigate generational, cultural, and stylistic differences while keeping the main thing the main thing: encountering God.
We’ll explore:
Why personal preference should never outweigh God’s presence.
The dangers of dividing over style, language, or genre in worship.
How unity is forged when the focus shifts from “my taste” to His glory.
Through Scripture and real-life ministry experiences, we’ll look at how worship leaders can lead with wisdom, humility, and discernment—creating space for all people to meet with God, regardless of background or style.
Plus:
Praise or Pass – our take on a viral worship moment.
FAQ – We’ll wrestle with practical questions like:
• How do we engage both young and old worshipers?
• How do we incorporate other cultures or languages in worship?
• How do we build unity through music?
This episode invites worship leaders and churches to examine their own hearts: Are we clinging to preferences—or are we making room for God’s presence?
