This week we have the pleasure of sitting down with Abbie Stonier who shares her own journey as a worshiper and her experiences when she played keys for Southville Music whilst attending Southville Church in Yeovil. In this episode, we discuss the importance of diversity when it comes to musical style; and the power music has to evoke an emotional response. How as worship leaders we can steward this and make it more than just building hype, and how as part of the congregation we can lean in and engage no matter the musical line-up. Oh, and the all-important debate surrounding THAT John Mark McMillan lyric.

Welcome to The Deconstructing Worship Podcast; A series of positive and constructive conversations about the current culture of modern worship. Each week we will be talking to a new guest about their own experiences and thoughts about worship and church worship culture. We explore the highs and lows, the weird and wonderful that many of us have experienced whilst asking difficult questions that are far too often brushed under the carpet. Perhaps between us with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can find a way through, to lift up and edify this mysterious thing we call worship into a place of increased freedom and peace. We cant wait to share these conversations with you and we would love to hear your thoughts too.
