The Worship Podcast (Episode 7): How Does A Worship Leader With A Flip Phone Read The Bible? [Part II w/ Gabe Finocchio]

On today's podcast: What do you believe? 

That's the question we discuss with Gabe Finocchio (The Royal Royal) as we dive into the, sometimes complex, worlds of doctrine & worship.  As worship leaders, we can easily neglect God's word & focus more on the songs themselves or our own church services.  Well today, we talk with Gabe about that journey between theology & our song.

We think what comes out could surprise you. Enjoy!

He was only going to pick up a few tricks from his instructor (a professional clown), but soon the student surpassed the teacher and a new interest and eventual career in ministry was born.

Shaping Your Child Into a Spiritual Warrior

The stats suggest that well more than half of young people will leave the Church after they leave their childhood Christian home.
