As I was finishing up my doctoral studies in worship a couple of years ago, I came across a book called “The Greatest Worship Leader,” by author and worship pastor at Mercy Hill Church in North Carolina, Jon Azzarello.  I loved the book so much that I began to follow Jon on Instagram. His carousels with tidbits of encouragement for worship leaders were both encouraging and challenging. When he reached out to me, I knew I had to have him on the podcast…and the timing of him being on this month’s episode, I believe, was divinely ordained. This episode will drop on August 15, and Jon has a brand new “coffee table” book coming out the very next day called “When We Sing”. Here's the link so you can pre-order a copy: linktr.ee/jonazzarello

It was such a refreshing conversation that deviated from the typical topic of song choices in worship to the actual act of singing… not only the scriptural command to sing, but also singing’s benefits to the singer.

As a worshiper and as a worship leader, I know you’re going to benefit from every word in this episode provides. Our prayer is that it encourages you to not just listen to songs, but to sing them, too. As always, leave us your feedback. We’d love to hear from you.
