The Faith in Real Life Podcast
The Heart of Worship: Excellence, Theology, and the Role of a Worship Pastor | Ep. 19
“Music is only 20% of the job. Worship is a pastoral calling.”
In Episode 19 of Faith in Real Life, Nat Crawford and Dan Koch sit down with Worship Pastor Donald Adams to unpack what worship truly is—and isn’t.
Donald shares his journey into worship ministry and challenges the idea that worship is just about music. He outlines a biblical philosophy of worship that exalts God, edifies the saints, and evangelizes the lost.
This episode digs deep into evaluating worship effectiveness, balancing excellence with authenticity, and understanding the pastoral weight of leading people in worship.
Whether you're a worship leader, church member, or just someone wanting a richer understanding of corporate and personal worship, this conversation will shape how you see worship—and how you engage with it.
