Life in the past year-and-a-half have forced a lot of us into changing how we work. This is also true of worship leading, which like many other things, had to make a shift into the virtual realm! Jake Fretz joins the show to talk about leading worship during this season, and about writing music for the congregation. Perhaps most importantly, though, he touches on the need to cultivate relationships with our Indigenous neighbours and why it matters to Jesus.
