We loved getting the opportunity to talk with Leeland Mooring--worship leader, and songwriter, from the band Leeland. In this episode, he shares his heart for pursuing the presence of God, learning the "craft" of songwriting, and writing lyrics from prayer. "You're responsible for the health of your imagination... it's actually pretty easy through repetition to get better at the craft of something, but the hard part is changing your lifestyle. If all that's there is just surface level, (then) you've got nothing in there to pull from."
