🎧 Worship Wednesday is here! In this episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Joe, Pastor Zach, and Noah dive deep into a powerful and timely conversation: Are you called to worship—or just trying to be cool?
From personal stories of leading worship to biblical insights from the life of David, the team explores the heart of worship ministry. What does it really mean to be called by God versus simply fitting the “worship leader look”? How do we respond when worship isn’t convenient, comfortable, or even “cool”? And what happens when we shift our focus from performance to presence?
💬 Join the conversation! Have you ever wrestled with the difference between calling and appearance in ministry? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
