In this powerful and deeply personal devotional, worship leader, songwriter, and author Marcus Criner shares a journey of surrender, calling, and intimacy with God that will challenge and inspire every worship leader. From opening for the Newsboys to walking away from it all in obedience to God's call, Marcus unpacks what it means to know God, not just sing about Him.
Whether you're feeling burned out, craving deeper purpose, or wondering what you're really carrying into your worship sets, this episode is a must-listen. Marcus reminds us that the real anointing isn’t found in polished vocals or perfect setlists — it’s born in the secret place.
π₯ Learn how to:
Lead worship from a place of genuine intimacy
Carry God’s presence beyond the platform
Reignite your heart for the local church
Embrace the weight and privilege of leading others in sung prayer
