This special episode of raZe the roof features Sean Myers, elder and lead pastor at Pella Communities in Glendale, Arizona. Sean casts a positive vision for formational worship, a practice rooted in Christian tradition designed to shape believers over time through active participation, contemplative practices, and an intergenerational style. To help contextualize Pella’s liturgical practice, Sean contrasts it with the dominant evangelical model of functional liturgy, which is built on seeker-sensitive methods like quick-fix sermons addressing felt needs and passive engagement, high-energy music, and age-segregated services.
