In this episode, I have my good friend, Dwayne Bennet.  We dive deep into the topic of bridging the gap between modern trends in church and sacred traditions. How do we cultivate an authentic atmosphere of worship beyond the lights and cameras? This one is going to cut on us a little. Don't miss out!

DWayne “Saint Orbin” Bennett is a producer, music director, bassist, keys and organ player, and a drummer. Performing with names like Yolanda Adams, Kanye West, Flo Rida, and Kim Burrell, not only adds credibility to his increasing reputation, but it speaks on his ability to stand tall amongst music industry greats.

DWayne also has a pastor’s heart, and we get to hear it in this episode as he talks about western worship culture.
