In this episode of Protect the Altar, Deborah & Tim have an honest conversation about fighting the desire for fame in worship.
In a culture that constantly elevates platforms, numbers, and visibility, even worship can slowly drift from devotion to performance. We talk about how the spirit of this age subtly creeps into worship culture—and how worship leaders, musicians, and creatives can guard their hearts and stay anchored in faithfulness rather than recognition.
This episode covers:
- How the pursuit of influence can quietly replace the pursuit of God
- Why obscurity and hiddenness are often part of spiritual formation
- Practical ways to resist comparison, ambition, and platform-driven worship
- Re-centering worship around obedience, humility, and presence
If you’re a worship leader, songwriter, or servant in the local church who wants to steward your calling with purity and longevity, this conversation is for you.
Let’s protect the altar—together!
