Jesus Christ never gets boring. What happens is we get caught up in the things that surround Him.” – Bob Kauflin
This is a podcast I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Bob Kauflin is such a strong voice to the worship community. He’s the writer of the super popular Worship Matters and most recently True Worshipers: Seeking What Matters to God. He’s the leader of Sovereign Grace Music, a community of songwriters and worship leaders who write strong theological songs for the local church.
In this chat we discuss Sovereign Grace, the glories of Jesus, how to give and receive criticism, knowing truth, and so much more.
Enjoy!
