Wait. Stop! No, seriously. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode, go back and listen to “What is biblical worship? (Part One)” first. When you’re done, come back here. We’ll be waiting for you. In this episode, Cameron and Dr. J pick up where their conversation left off last time and spend some time look at the different things people do when worshiping. Ever wonder why people feel the need to raise their hands or clap their hands or sway back-and-forth or move to the front? You’re not alone.Then, they take a look at what do we need to do to prepare ourselves for a time in worship. And, no, vocal warmups are not the answer!
