The Worship Podcast (Episode 21): Keep the Change - Embracing the Uncomfortable
It's been said that, "change is a part of life." Why, then, do we tend to struggle with it? Whether in your personal life, your professional life or anywhere else, change can be uncomfortable. In today's episode, Dustin and James talk about change from the perspective of worship teams, and how to not only get through it, but to grow through it. GASP!
We'd love to hear from some of our listeners about situations that have changed in your world of worship, and how you handled that - both good and bad! How did your team handle the change, and how did God help you lead them through it?
And of course, we hope everyone has an awesome & restful Thanksgiving with friends & family. Until next time!
