🎧 What is TRUE worship, really?

We all know what worship isn’t — it’s not a concert, not entertainment, not about us.

But what is it? And more importantly… are we living lives that reflect what we say we believe?

In this honest and spirit-led exchange, De Ana Abinante and returning guest Sarah Clodfelter go deep into the heart-posture of worship—exploring biblical definitions from Hebrew and Greek, dissecting cultural misconceptions around “performance,” and asking the hard questions about what our platforms really reveal.

• Why worship isn’t just the “music set”
• The danger of equating excellence with entertainment

💡 Key Themes:

• Heart-Posture of True Worship
• Worship Beyond the Stage
• Reverence, Awe, and Joy

Beyond the “worship isn’t…” conversations that fill so many circles...What does it mean to regard the Lord with great extravagant respect, honor, and devotion—not just on Sunday, but in every breath?

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking exchange, De Ana is joined again by worship leader and artist Sarah Smith Clodfelter to peel back the layers of expression, posture, and heart of worship. Together they explore how true worship holds both awe and intimacy… reverence and joy… obedience and freedom.

From breaking alabaster jars to bowing not just in the hear but physically, from dancing before the Lord without fear of man to discerning how to honor the house of God you’re in—this episode is a Spirit-led reminder of what TRUE worship looks like.

In this heartfelt and clarifying conversation, De Ana is joined once again by worship leader and artist Sarah Clodfelter to explore the sacred marriage of presence and excellence in worship.

From the secret place to the stage, from piano licks to prophetic obedience—this episode is a Spirit-led reminder that every detail matters when it comes to hosting God's presence well.

In this episode of Frequencies of Praise, De Ana opens a deeply needed conversation about the prayerful heart behind unity in the Body of Christ—using the timeless words of The Prayer of St. Francis as a guide for today’s worship leaders, Kingdom creatives, and believers.

This is more than a conversation about liturgy or tradition. It’s a prophetic cry for the Church to return to the heart of communion—where unity, forgiveness, and restoration aren’t optional but essential.

Because before we bring our worship, before we come to the Table, we must ask: Are we living reconciled, both to God and to one another?

🎧 In this episode, we unpack:

• The ancient wisdom of The Prayer of St. Francis and why it still matters today
• Why communion and unity are inseparable in the heart of God
• How brokenness in the Body of Christ grieves the Father—and what we can do about it
• Practical ways to become an instrument of peace in our families, churches, and communities
• The connection between personal restoration and the Church’s collective healing

This is a call to become restorers, bridge-builders, and peacemakers in a world and Church fractured by division.

💡 Key Themes:

• The Heart of Communion & Unity
• Forgiveness as Worship
• Restoration in Families & the Church
• Living the Prayer of St. Francis
• Becoming an Instrument of Peace

📖 Scripture Highlights:

• John 17 – (Jesus’ prayer for unity: “That they may be one")
• Micah 6:8 – (Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly)
• Psalm 34:14 – (Seek peace and pursue it)
• Matthew 5:9 – (Blessed are the peacemakers)

🧎🏼‍♀️ Deeper Reflection Questions:

1. Where have I allowed division, offense, or unforgivness to remain unchecked?
2. How can I become an instrument of peace in my own family, worship team, or community?
3. Have I been offering worship while harboring disunity—and is God inviting me to make it right?
4. What would it look like to live the heart of communion beyond the bread and cup?

In this episode of Frequencies of Praise, De Ana invites worship leaders, Kingdom Creatives, and everyday believers into a deeper conversation about holiness—the kind that isn’t always marked by outward signs, but is distinguished by the heart and the unseen choices we make daily.

Drawing from the Biblical story of Daniel, we explore how sometimes the difference isn’t in what the world can see, but in the motivation behind what we bring to the table—whether it’s food, music, or the quiet decisions of our everyday lives.

It’s not just about what we do—it’s about who we’re doing it unto.

🎧 In this episode, we unpack:

• What it really means to be set apart
• How the same outward action can carry a different spiritual weight depending on the heart
• Why holiness isn’t a checklist of dos and don’ts—but a life consecrated unto God
• The hidden layers behind the Daniel Fast (hint: it wasn’t really about the food)
• How to live a life of worship in the ordinary, unseen, and everyday

🔥 This is a call to examine not just what we do, but WHO we do it unto —because holiness is what happens in the smallest and ordinary moments too.

💡 Key Themes:

• Set Apart in Spirit and Truth
• Holiness Without Legalism
• Our Everyday Offerings
• Worship as Lifestyle, Not Just Expression
• Sacred vs. Secular Living

📖 Scripture Highlights:

• Romans 12:1 – (A living sacrifice, holy and acceptable)
• Leviticus 10:10 – (Distinguishing between the holy and the common)
• 1 Samuel 15:22 – (Obedience over sacrifice)
• Psalm 139 – (“Search me, O God…”)

🧎🏼‍♀️ Deeper Reflection Questions:

1. Am I offering this (song, meal, project, post) to God—or to my own ego?
2. Where have I settled for external obedience without inner surrender?
3. What does it look like for my art, appetite, and attention to be consecrated?
4. Have I been hiding behind visible holiness… without intimacy?

In this episode of FOP, De Ana unpacks the prophetic identity of the Church as the Bride of Christ—not in abstract theology, but in real, raw anticipation.

• What “set apart” really means for worship leaders and Kingdom creatives

• How to lead a church—or a team—that’s being made ready for the Bridegroom
