Today's conversation; focuses on resources that are available to worship leaders and those who are called to full-time ministry. Dr. Matthew Westerholm discusses his story and unpacks his life of ministry. He also talks about his involvement with the Norton Hall Band and how they are creating great resources for the modern church. Through every job and calling, he has gathered some great advice and resources that have helped him along the way and hopefully will also help us in our lives in ministry.
