In today\u2019s episode Aaron Niequist joins Ruth and Rory to discuss the practices that make up Transforming Worship. They discuss how Covid revealed just how little participation was required in most church services, the temptation leaders face to create emotional experiences rather than allow space for the Holy Spirit to do its work, and what\u2019s wrong with how most of us pray in worship settings. This conversation is full of thoughtful dialogue and practical advice.<\/p>\n
