In this episode, Austin sits down with Jonathan Quick and hears about his journey to becoming a worship leader. Jonathan also drops plenty of wisdom along the way.

  • What do I need to know about worship?

    Send us Fan Mail

    As a leader, understanding the doctrine of worship can be really overwhelming. Entire degrees in college and seminary are devoted to understanding worship holistically. But for the normal worship leader, who does not have a worship leading degree (and this is the VAST majority of you), what do you really need to know? In this podcast, Austin unpacks 4 primary scriptures about worship that you can learn and then teach your team and congregation. This will get them on their way to understanding what the Bible says about worship.

  • Tiny is Different than Big: Learning to lead worship to very small crowds

    Send us Fan Mail

    When we think of worship leading, we often think about stages and bands and large crowds and technology. But sometimes worship is led in a home, or apartment, or around a camp fire. In this episode, Austin reflects on his most recent worship leading journey...leading in his home with only 15 people in attendance. Some things about leading remain the same, but many of them change.
