In this episode of The Waypoint Podcast, hosts Dyke and Rebecca sit down with David and Vasti Rengifo, worship leaders at Esperanz Church with a deep passion for cultivating diverse worship—diverse not only in ethnicity, but in generation, musical style, and life experience. Together, they explore the beauty and challenge of building worship that reflects the Kingdom of God: every tribe, every tongue, every story. From gospel to hymns, teens to elders, and every voice in between, the Rengifos emphasize that true unity in worship begins around the table—by listening, learning, and sharing life. If you long for worship that goes beyond the stage and into real relationships, this conversation will inspire and challenge you.
