This season is for all who worship, not just pastors and leaders who plan the weekly services!<\/p>\n<p>This week Ruth and Rory brought in podcast producer Colleen Powell to discuss the problem of Sunday morning. Is it even possible to experience transformative worship in a one hour Sunday morning (or Saturday evening) service? Should you stay at a church where you are not experiencing transformative worship? And what is the secret to services that are transformative? This conversation was challenging and hopeful all at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12028\" src=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rory Noland\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/rory-noland-2-1.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 125px) 100vw, 125px\" \/>Rory Noland<\/strong> is the director of Heart of the Artist Ministries, an organization dedicated to serving artists in the church.
