The Heart Of Worship The story behind Matt Redman's new album, The Heart of Worship. Read about the insight and inspiration which led to the creation of the songs from Matt's new recording.
Blessed Be Your Name I recently wrote a little book on worship, "The Unquenchable Worshipper". The title chapter looks at a kind of worship that endures through every situation. A praise that overcomes the storms of life, and cries out ...
Who's Really The Worship Leader I heard recently some discussion of whether the term "Lead worshipper" would actually be a more helpful one than "Worship leader" when it comes to the role we play in worship. At first I thought this was just some clever word-play, and that there…
The Heart of Worship Files Compiled by Matt Redman, the best-selling author of The Unquenchable Worshipper. He says, "The Church is in constant pursuit of the 'heart of worship'. Together, we journey on to learn more and more of what it really means to bring meaningful…
