Description

In this Worship Wednesday episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zach and Noah dive deep into a powerful and often overlooked truth: the difference between personal worship and public ministry. From humorous mustache banter to heartfelt reflections on Luke 5 and Mark 1, this episode challenges worship leaders and pastors to ask: Are you leading from a place of spiritual overflow or emotional exhaustion?Discover why private worship sustains public worship, how Jesus modeled solitude and prayer, and why discernment is essential when leading others into God’s presence. Whether you're on stage or in the pews, this conversation will inspire you to seek deeper intimacy with the Holy Spirit throughout the week—not just on Sunday mornings.
