  • #18: Natural Worship (with Andy Hunter)

    Andy Hunter is a DJ and film score composer who is passionate about people worshiping God with freedom and natural expression. We talked about God placing passions in our lives, and how it should be no surprise that when we’re doing the things we’re passionate about and expressing ourselves, we can easily use that to worship God. Whether it’s cooking, writing poetry, composing dance music or going out for a walk, we can express ourselves in a way that is natural to pray and worship God through.
