Worship Online Podcast

In Episode 60, we're back with our panel to discuss the importance of our expression as worship leaders and musicians - the physical expression of the spiritual reality of our praise and our worship. The panel today is Jordan Holt (Guitarist - Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, The Belonging Co - Blog Writer and Guitar instructor for Worship Online), Libby Lewis (Worship Leader, Songwriter, and Worship Online Project Manager), and Brenton Miles (Worship Leader & Audio Lead - The Belonging Co, Songwriter, Producer). Today we unpack the why behind our enthusiasm - Is it just an energy to lead people with? Or is it a genuine posture of the heart? What are some of the lessons learned along the way both in church and on tour? All this and more in Episode 60! --- Leave us a review or shoot us an e-mail if you'd like to join the conversation with Worship Online about this podcast and ways we can better help you on your journey as a worship leader & musician!

Episode 58 is one to bookmark for future reference as hosts, Brenton Miles & Libby Lewis sit down with pop artist & songwriter Fleurie! Fleurie has been writing music for years and has been involved with music as a young girl growing up in church. After spending some time in Sydney at the Hillsong International Leadership College, she realized quickly that her dreams of being a worship pastor were changing to becoming an artist, and that God had bigger plans for her outside the four walls of church. So in this episode, we talk about musical gifts, calling, and what it looks like to create outside of church world, as many musicians and songwriters in the church feel called to reach people outside of church (which we are all called to do). Fleurie (artist name) is also actively involved in serving in her local church on the worship team as well as writing songs for church. For more info, check out her music on Spotify and give her a follow on Instagram! --- Leave us a review or shoot us an e-mail if yo

BUT if we can all continue to encourage, celebrate, and inspire each other, it'll limit the frustrations across the board for our teams.

We're back with another powerful episode about overcoming anxiety, specifically within the church, our teams, and as musicians. In this episode, Jordan Holt, Libby Lewis, and Brenton Miles sit down to discuss some of their personal struggles with anxiety, overcoming fear, shame, and how replacing anxiety with truth, faith, rest, joy, and delegation can lead to freedom! There's no question, anxiety is rampant in our culture, and even in the church... but as musicians, sometimes it can seem even more overwhelming because of our direct tie to the supernatural thru art and the creative process. It's imperative that we must lean on the word of God as our foundation of truth and believe that when God says "be anxious for nothing" - He has our best interest at heart.

In Episode 50, Brenton Miles sits down with his friend Andrew Holt, a worship leader, songwriter, and the Worship Pastor at The Belonging Co in Nashville, TN. Building a team is one thing, but building a community of family members has a completely different approach as a leader... and Andrew has done an incredible job. With many professional level musicians and touring artists on the team at The Belonging, the schedules can be pretty crazy at times, but there's one thing that stands out... there's a unified spirit within the team. Whether you're a producer, session player, or touring musician, wherever you go, there's a community and family right there with you, a phone call away, text away, or at times, even at your show ready to stand with you and pray over you. It goes way beyond the services on Sunday or Tuesday. It's family. 24/7. In this episode, we talk a bit about Andrew's journey as a worship leader, how he got started at The Belonging, his experience co-writing songs for church, and some of the imp
