  • Gone Political

    I understand and agree that the issues in Chicago are important and we should wrestle with the ideas of church vs. government, the idolatry of power, etc. However, I was expecting to learn a lot more about Black worship theology and practice (something I have no access to being outside of the US), not in the political situation of Chicago. That episode seemed like you guys wanted to talk about politics with a worship sticker, not about worship and how politics affects it in the context of Black ... more

  • Amazing & Inspiring

    Thank you David for these podcasts. I have been listening to these interviews since 2014 and I have learned so much over the years. I love that you get some great worship leaders on to your shows and being able to dive into their life experiences and knowledge on a deeper level is so great. Looking forward to more amazing talks in the future episodes!

  • Don’t miss this!

    David’s podcast should be “required listening” for any Exec Pastor or Senior Pastor wanting to support their worship leaders and teams

  • This podcast was very unhelpful. The whole purpose of worship was taken totally out of context mixed with throwing in scriptures that are totally out of context with the point they're trying to make. This is what's wrong with people entering the"worship industry". They are very doctrine a week and have no business waiting other people to an intended place!

  • Where did you go?

    I live what I have heard so far and I wish this was still producing more episodes! Thanks for talking about these topics and I would encourage you to keep going! I am in a phase of deconstruction and reconstruction and as a previous Sunday worship pastor I can’t wait to hear more!
