Todays guest writes one of my favorite worship blogs on the internet: Zac Hicks.

Zac is a worship pastor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, pastored by Tullian Tchividjian. This conversation was one of my favorites! Zac is a super smart guy who knows a whole lot about culture, music, theology, and how that all connects to leading worship in the local church.

We also talk a lot about reading books and learning styles (hence all the amazing book recommendations below). Zac talks about how reading keeps him sharp as a worship leader. There are some very practical tips for you.

And one of my favorite parts: approaching the subject of getting old and “irrelevant” as a worship leader.

Not to be missed!

    To Zac’s comments on getting old, BOOM!

    He hit it right on the head. I think I nearly drove off the road (I definitely had to adjust my readers to see the instrument cluster) while he was talking.

    Good words and thanks,
