They share their learnings and highlights from these conversations and Ruth answers a listener&#8217;s question about how to bring transformative worship to your congregation if you are not a part of the planning process. To close Ruth gives us a few key takeaways to help us understand and embody transformative worship.<\/p>\n<p>This season we\u2019re focusing on worship, particularly worship that is transformative. Our season long guest is Rory Noland and we will be working with his book, <a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.christianbook.com\/transforming-planning-services-spiritual-formation-mattered\/rory-noland\/9780830841721\/pd\/841721?event=ESRCG\"><em>Transforming Worship: Planning and Leading Sunday Services as If Spiritual Formation Mattered<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em>In addition to Ruth and Rory, we will also be bringing other guests into the conversations about worship with spiritual formation at its core. This season is for all who worship, not just pastors and leaders who plan the weekly services!<\/p>\n<p>Advent is just around the corner! Our guest this season will be author, artist and speaker Scott Erickson. Ruth, Scott and Transforming Center team member Charity McClure (whose voice you\u2019ll recognize from this season!) will be exploring the themes from Scott\u2019s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QkjVZC\">Honest Advent.<\/a> This season starts Friday, November 24.
