Welcome to Worship Wednesday on the Shepnaz Podcast! Today, Joe is joined by Pastor Zach and Pastor Noah for a heartfelt and humor-filled episode that dives deep into one powerful question:đ Am I even qualified to worship Jesus?Through Luke 7, we explore the story of the sinful woman who humbly worshiped Jesus with her tears, her hair, and her perfume. What does this moment teach us about grace, humility, and the heart of worship?đĄ In this episode:
- Why your past doesnât disqualify you from worship
- What true worship looks like in humility
- How Pharisee-like pride can block our connection with Jesus
- Why Jesus defends the broken and welcomes the repentant
- The reminder that the blood of Jesus is always enough
Whether youâre new to faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, this episode will challenge and encourage you to come to the feet of Jesusâjust as you are.đ§ We'd love to hear from you!
