Worship from a Place of Connection
This blog and journaling are from Pastor Shawna M. Diehl, a doctoral student at Christian Leadership University.
Worship is a high priority at the church where I pastor. In fact, I served for many years as a worship leader before planting Church on Fire. We have been blessed as a church to feel a strong sense of the presence of God as we gather for worship. However, lately something has seemed off. I thought it was just me until one of our leaders brought it up at a meeting. I know that the people in our congregation love the Lord and were worshipping Him, but maybe the Lord was trying to lead us to a deeper understanding of worship. So I asked Him about it, “Papa, something seems off in our worship experience. Can You help me to understand what we are missing?”
