The Worship and Leadership Podcast

What if your year-end review could be more than metrics and memories—what if it became a map for the season ahead? We wrapped season four around that idea, mixing laughter with honest lessons on leadership, worship, and the everyday choices that shape community. From playful “sponsor” bits to a grounding read of Ecclesiastes 3, we circle back to the core: seasons shift, but Jesus remains steady, and that changes how we plan, rest, and lead.If this season encouraged you, share it with a friend, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, and leave a review with your one-word charge for the new year. Your voice helps others find the show and join a community learning to worship, lead, and rest with wisdom.Send us a text

Conversations can carry life or death, and this one leans hard into life. We get practical and personal. A small parenting scene in a school car line becomes a masterclass in presence: put the phone down, listen to the child, honor the moment. That same lens reframes marriage, teams, and church life—words can wound or build, and listening can be a form of worship. We also name a modern trap: outsourcing growth to AI and convenience. Tools can refine your notes, but they cannot renew your mind. Idols are the voices we shape to never challenge us; community and Scripture are the voices that love us enough to do so. We connect these threads to seasonal wisdom: blessings come with burdens, and the prayer for the next year begins with subtraction. Ask God what to leave behind so you can step lighter into what’s next. Whether you lead a ministry, a team, or a home, the path forward looks the same—center your life on the Word, depend on the Spirit, and welcome people who will tell you the truth and stay by your side. If this conversation sparks something in you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review so others can find it. What’s one thing you’re leaving behind to make room for growth?Send us a text

What happens when a church treats vision like stewardship, not ownership? We invited our lead team—Pastors Mike and Stephanie Burnette with Dr. Tim Hager—to pull back the curtain on a year defined by increased anointing, movement, multiplication, and focused ministry to men. From testimonies of healing to a five-day overhaul of service times, we trace how prayerful clarity turns into bold action without losing the heart of discipleship.The conversation gets practical and personal: the difference between second-chair critique and first-chair responsibility, the discipline of humble confidence, guarding your heart in ministry, and keeping family discipleship strong while the pace quickens. If this conversation encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who leads, and leave a review to help more listeners find it.Send us a text

Gratitude shouldn’t end when the dishes are done. We open the door to a richer way of living—treating gratitude as expressed worship that reshapes our homes, our teams, and our hearts. With Scripture at the center and stories that will stay with you, we trace a clear path from seasonal thankfulness to a daily, deliberate posture of praise.If you need practical handles, we’ve got them: write short gratitude lists, pray them aloud, put your phone away to be fully with people, and curate a circle that nurtures a grateful posture. Discover why you can’t be critical and grateful at the same time, and how thanksgiving accelerates spiritual formation, softens pride, and strengthens families. This is an invitation to build a life God wants to dwell in—marked by praise, generosity, and honest testimony.If this encouraged you, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us one simple thing you’re grateful for today. Your story might be the memorial someone else needs.Send us a text

What happens when a table of wise women ask how to lead with both a soft heart and a steady hand? We dig into the tension between empathy and authority and find a faithful path that starts with love, listens well, and still speaks the truth that sets people free.If you’re hungry for leadership that is warm, wise, and deeply grounded, this one will meet you where you are and call you higher. Subscribe, share with a friend who leads, and leave a review to tell us: where do you need more grace, and where do you need more truth?Send us a text
