1 Peter 2:5 offers two powerful images: we are called to be living stones and holy priests. In this message, Dan unpacks the confronting challenge in this passage—the difference between simply attending worship and actively tending to it, like a priest caring for the presence of God. In a culture steeped in consumerism, we’re invited out of passive Christianity and into a participatory life of worship, where we minister, create, serve, and handle. Worship isn’t something we watch—it’s something we do.

Worship is both structured and spontaneous—like a classical quartet following a set score and a jazz trio freely improvising together. In this episode, we explore what it means to worship with Kingdom expectation, embracing both the known and the unknown, the planned and the Spirit-led. Through scripture, including Colossians 3:16 and the Lord’s Prayer, we uncover the deep connection between worship, prayer, and expectancy. What happens when we make space for the Spirit to lead? How do we prepare for the spontaneous? Join us as we lean into a posture of faith-filled anticipation, longing for God’s Kingdom to break in among us.

Worship holds a hidden power: what we behold, we become. This week, we explore the transformative nature of worship—not as a call to conformity, but to true transformation. Worship reveals the direction of our hearts and offers a space for reorientation. Join us as Donald Goodhall unpacks this theme through Psalm 115 and the lives of three men—St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and Amos—exploring what it means to behold and become.

Worship is more than just thoughts in our heads—it’s love expressed through our whole selves. This week, we explore embodied worship and how our physical actions—singing, kneeling, clapping, lifting hands—are vital expressions of our love for God. Just like we naturally respond with our bodies at a concert or when holding a newborn, true worship invites us to respond fully to God’s love. Join us as Rob Wiseman unpacks Psalm 95 and what it means to offer our whole selves in worship.

Worship isn’t something we manufacture—it’s our response to God’s love. Love, Returned explores how true worship flows from 1 John 4:19: “We love because He first loved us.” We don’t initiate worship; we step into what God has already begun. It’s about intimacy, not performance—opening our hearts, not striving.

Join us as we rediscover worship as a love story, not a task.
