Episode 328: Cultivating Authentic Worship Experiences

Transforming Mission Podcast with Tim Bias & Sara Thomas

This week our discussion centers around worship, exploring the purpose of worship, key elements of worship planning, and the impact of preferences on worship services. As a reminder, worship is centered on connecting with God and living out God's love in everyday situations. Important aspects like music, liturgy, and the need for a collaborative approach to worship planning are discussed, along with tips for avoiding common pitfalls like disruptive announcements. Special Sundays and the importance of following the liturgical calendar to tell the story of God's love are also addressed.
