What is worship really about? Is it just music on Sunday… or something much deeper?In today’s Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack sits down with Joshua Nadiope to share a powerful story of how worship begins long before the stage. From growing up in Uganda with a foundation of prayer to unexpectedly stepping into worship leadership, Joshua reminds us that true worship is a lifestyle—one rooted in a deep relationship with Jesus.

Together, they unpack:

• Why talent isn’t the foundation of worship
• The difference between a worship leader and a performer
• How to worship through difficult seasons
• What it means to live a life of worship that others can see

No matter what you're walking through today, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to worship—not because everything is perfect, but because God is always worthy.
