#47: Hillsong Worship on Healthy Team Culture, Leadership, Songwriting, And The New Album [Podcast]

It was my honor to talk with a few guys from Hillsong Worship.

We discuss a lot – the new album, a behind the scenes look at their worship teams, and their all-out passion for the name of Jesus.

Those talented lads are:

• Dean Ussher – Creative Pastor at Hillsong Melbourne, songwriter, worship leader
• Ben Fielding – Songwriter, Worship Leader, Tours, Based at Hillsong Sydney
• Eric Liljero – Creative Pastor at Hillsong Stockholm, songwriter, worship leader

The Hillsong movement is truly extraordinary. What the world sees (and hears) is their music. But excellence, heart, and passion come through in all they do.
