Speaker and writer Amy Gannett joins Blake to talk about the sizable gulf between knowing God and worshipping Him. Like a family member or a friend, we can't love someone well if we don't truly know them. Listen in as Amy encourages us to worship in reverence with who God has revealed himself to be, rather than who we have each made him out to be. Amy explains that theology and worship go hand-in-hand. Without theology, worship can be ungrounded. Without worship, theology can be stifled and cold. Theology leads to doxology!
