In this episode of I Can’t Believe It’s Worship!, Lester O and Lester S journey through the biblical history of the presence of God—from Eden to the Tabernacle, from the Temple to Christ, and into the life of the Church today.

Together, they unpack the profound significance of the Tabernacle as God’s chosen dwelling place among His people and wrestle with a sobering truth: a holy God desires to dwell among a sinful people. What does that reveal about His character? His mercy? His redemptive plan?

This conversation asks deeper questions that confront the heart:

• Do we truly understand the weight of God’s holiness?

• Have we grown casual about His presence?

• What does it mean to host His presence today as New Covenant believers?

This episode invites listeners to rediscover awe, reverence, and gratitude for the God who chooses to be with His people.

In this episode of I Can’t Believe It’s Worship!, Lester O and Lester S sit down with Siska Sands, Youth Pastor at Faith Community Church, to talk about the sacred responsibility of raising the next generation of worshippers.

Siska shares about Kinetic, the youth ministry at FCC, and her personal journey into full-time ministry. Having overseen youth worship for many years while serving as pastor, she reflects on why worship has remained central to her heart and leadership—and why she chose to personally steward that space.

The conversation explores the strategies behind building a worship culture among youth, the unique challenges young people face in engaging authentically with God, and the joys and tensions of watching teenagers encounter Him in worship. Siska also shares about the intentional leadership transition of youth worship directorship to Amber Chua, offering insight into succession, trust, and long-term vision.

This episode is an honest and hopeful look at what it takes to nurture young worshippers—and a reminder that the future of worship in our city is being shaped today.

In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Lester O and Lester S continue their discussion with Dave Wong, Worship Pastor at Faith Community Church, turning the focus toward long-term leadership and ministry sustainability.

This episode explores the practical decisions that shape a worship ministry over time—how a song library is curated and refreshed, the process of recruiting and inducting new worship team members, and how leaders can steward both people and platforms well.

Dave also speaks directly to those considering full-time worship ministry, offering grounded counsel shaped by experience. The conversation closes with practical wisdom for worship leaders—whether stepping into leadership for the first time or carrying responsibility after many years of service.

This episode is a thoughtful and honest guide for worship leaders seeking to lead with clarity, faithfulness, and intentionality in the local church.

This episode explores the everyday spaces where culture is actually formed—rehearsals, pre-briefs, debriefs, green room conversations between services, and worship team meetings. Dave shares practical insights into how these moments are intentionally used to cast vision, reinforce values, develop communication, and build genuine community within the team.

Rather than focusing only on what happens on stage, this conversation highlights how off-platform rhythms shape trust, unity, and spiritual health in a worship ministry.

This episode is essential listening for worship leaders and team members who want to move beyond execution and begin cultivating a culture that sustains people, faith, and ministry over the long term.

Benny Ho, the immediate past Senior Pastor of Faith Community Church, where he led for over 20 years through a season of remarkable growth. Now serving as Leadership Mentor, Ps.

From Ps. Benny’s early call to pastoral ministry to his present role mentoring leaders, the conversation unpacks:

• The significant shifts observed in the global church and worship movement.

• The theological tensions surrounding songs written by ministries with questionable doctrine.

• And the megatrends likely to define the future of worship ministry.

In the final part of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S share from the heart as they reflect on the missional half of our worship trip to Japan.

From stepping into an elementary school to share the gospel with 180 students, to singing at a café, hosting a music event for adult English learners, and witnessing open hearts respond to the message of Jesus — this leg of the journey was filled with powerful moments of connection, joy, and tears.

As the trip concluded with a farewell dinner that left everyone deeply moved, the Lesters open up about how God stirred their hearts for Japan and the people they met.

This episode captures the emotion, hope, and calling that emerged from this unforgettable time of worship and mission.
Join us as we laugh, cry, and worship together for the nation of Japan — that it may know the love of Christ.

In Part 3 of our Worship on Mission mini-series, Lester O and Lester S sit down to reflect on the ministry highlights from the first half of our worship missions trip to Japan.

We talk about the worship seminars that were held at Hope Christ Church in Kagoshima, the combined worship seminar in Miyazaki that brought together believers from multiple churches, and the meaningful time spent ministering at Hope Baptist Church in Aira.

This episode captures the heart behind the trip—training, equipping, and worshipping alongside the Japanese church—and what was learned about God’s presence moving powerfully through unity, humility, and song.

Join us as we look back on how God worked through these moments and worship together with us for what He’s continuing to do in Japan.

We discuss the current spiritual landscape of Japan, the impact of partnerships with churches from Singapore and Faith Community Church Perth, and the growing sense of unity among believers for the sake of the gospel.

Pastor Matsumoto also shares his hopes and dreams for revival in Japan and his perspective on the role of worship in preparing hearts for that move of God.

Be encouraged and inspired as we join hearts with our brothers and sisters in Japan and catch a glimpse of God’s heart for this nation.

We talk about life on the mission field, the role of worship in evangelism, and Kevin’s hopes and dreams for revival in Japan.
