I need your feedback

Hello UBC family,

Worship is complicated. Over the past 15 or 20 years, worship has become a genre of music and something that happens after the meet and greet and before the pastor preaches. As a Christian culture, we have dug ourselves into a hole.

As a worship leader and someone who cares about God's people praising Him, I am attempting to fight this stereotype, but I need your help. I believe it is God's desire to see University Baptist Church full of devoted worshipers of God, not just Sunday morning singers.

This can be hard.

It can be hard to think about worshiping God when you feel like the only noise you hear is your baby screaming. It can be hard to worship God when you are talking about football on Monday mornings with your buddies. It can be hard to worship God after a long day of work. It can be hard to worship God when all you want to do is escape from the busyness of this life.

But we're still called to worship God.

We're called to worship God when things are going great (Isaiah 12:5). We're called to worship God when life seems overwhelming (every Psalm David wrote). We're called to worship God in the mundane (Hebrews 13:15). And we're called to worship God with our entire lives (Romans 12:1).

So what do we do about this dilemma? How do we go about worshiping God with our entire lives everyday of the week?

I need your feedback. What are some things that you find helpful or you would find helpful in encouraging the continual worship of our Savior? Do you need to be spurred to think about worship more in depth? Do you need creative ideas in order to help you worship and lead your families in worship on a daily basis? Do you just want to more fully grasp the basic definition of worship? What is it that you feel you need in order to begin this journey of continually worshiping?
