Thoughts of a Dying Worship Leader Jordan Abina
-
- Religion & Spirituality
There’s something wild about having to reconcile the artist inside with the Spirit of God. The sparks that come from the struggle are flickers that can ignite a fire around the world. Being a worship leader has its challenges, but there’s something special about being on the frontlines of what God is doing. It’s dangerous. God makes it that way; it’s a chase after eternity. I want to talk about church worship, creativity, and the reality of leading people in worship through music. Let's journey together as worship leaders and worshipers of Jesus.

013 - The Front Row
The last episode of the Thoughts of a Dying Worship podcast comes at a difficult time in our world and in America, my home country. For the church, the search for stability in the present and a vision for the future is beginning to feel overwhelming. This reminds me of 2 Chronicles 20 and maybe changes the why behind writing this book all together. If a move of God is coming, I want to be close enough to Him to see it.

012 - The Pilgrim Path
I believe Jesus is the crack in the glass between eternity and the temporal. Every word He says is an invitation, the question for us is have we taken Him up on the life he offers? As a worship leader, a Christian, and a church goer, have we looked at Jesus and His words as from another place? What would change if we did?Buy the book // https://amzn.to/2Oc2dv7www.jordanabina.com

011 - Greatness Awaits
This word, greatness, gets us into a lot of trouble. Do we know what it means? Isn't it strange that the human race craves it but can't seem to attain it, at least not for long? It doesn't matter who you are and what you do, greatness is a part of life. Good news, Jesus has some thoughts worth listening to.Buy the book // https://amzn.to/2Oc2dv7www.jordanabina.com

010 - Eyes On Him
Imagine your walking with the resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ, and you and Him are talking about your life. Jesus is asking you is you love Him, and you of course are answering yes. Then, because you have a brain collapse, you turn your attention to the person behind you and start asking questions about them, which turns out to be something Jesus isn't a fan of. Why is it we so easily take our eyes of Jesus and onto what others have or who others are? Buy the book // https://amzn.to/2Oc2dv7www...

009 - Continuing The Song
Jesus, the creator of the universe, spent most of His time of ministry hanging out with 12 dudes from around His hometown. Doesn't that seem weird to you? In the narrative of the Savior of the world, would you ever believe that He would spend time talking, eating, and conversing with His own creation? Well, He did. Why? What did Jesus hope to accomplish by spending so much time with people and what did He want them to know? It's a picture into how God feels about people and a call to disciple...

008 - Chasing Excellence
What does excellence mean to you? Excellence was a word I ran into as a young man and have always wrestled with the realities of it and whether or not I'll be able to know if something is or isn't excellent. I believe that excellence is possible but if we're not careful the chase after excellence is a route away from God. God is who makes things excellent in our lives. Let's look a little closer at that word together. Buy the book // https://amzn.to/2Oc2dv7www.jordanabina.com
