The Evergreen Worship Co. Podcast with Sharon K. Lewis

Jesus: The Worship Leader of Our Hearts

Sharon K Lewis Season 1 Episode 14

In this episode of the Evergreen Worship Co. podcast, we embark on a journey through the historical evolution of worship leadership. From the sacred roles of the Levites in the Old Testament to the spirit-led gatherings of the early church, and the formal liturgical practices of the post-Constantinian era, we trace the transformation of worship leadership across centuries. Discover how the Protestant Reformation reignited congregational singing, leading to the emergence of song leaders, and how the Jesus Movement of the 1960s to 1990s shaped the modern worship team. Despite cultural shifts, the heart of worship leadership remains unchanged: guiding others to encounter God. Join us as we explore why worship leaders are still vital today, serving as pastoral guides and presence seekers, following the example of Jesus, the ultimate worship leader. Stay rooted, stay faithful, and keep leading with Jesus at the center.
