As Christ followers, what we need to know about worship is that God calls us to do this (Psm. 95:1-6, Isa. 12:5, Heb. 13:15, Rom. 12:1). So how do we do this in a God-honoring way? Especially in the midst of the good, bad, and ugly that our lives hold. Worship is the opening pillar to our pathway as we long to see every person engage in the worship of the one true God (Col. 3:16). For this episode, we meet with Charlie Hall to tackle all things worship. Charlie has spent a career leading worship ministry. His singer/songwriter discography starts in the 1990's and he began touring and boldly proclaiming Christ's name in the contemporary worship music scene in the 1990's and 2000's. He played a pivotal role in the Passion movement and is credited on many of the Passion albums. Now, Charlie is the Pastor of Worship and Liturgy at Frontline Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and we get the opportunity to hear his insight on the topic of worship. Whether you're a musician involved in worship ministry or not, this conversation shows us all how to be excellent at exalting praise to the Lord and why it's important (Isa. 25:1, Col. 3:23). We were made to commune with God so we worship Him in spirit and truth (Jn. 4:24). To learn more about Charlie Hall, visit the links below.
