Join Jared Hoffman on his journey of discovering what's possible for musicians who seek and believe for better things in worship.
In a third episode, we're taking time to reflect on what it means to walk, talk, speak, play music, and live all of life from a place of being transformed.

We're kicking it off by sharing some thoughts, dreams, insights, and more that relate to interesting time we've had so far in 2020.
As we recap this first season of the podcast, hear from Jared what it’s looked like for him to shift his belief in what God said is possible.shifting your perspective on what God has truly given us will fundamentally change the impact you have through music and exponentially grow you outside the boxes you feel stuck in.
The power of practicing isn’t just for our instruments. It’s applicable to the way we think, our interaction with God, and finding the freedom we’re looking for in music.
(Forgive the hum in this episode.) You can hear from God directly, and He wants to speak to you. Do you believe it? When you encounter God in a spiritual way, you’ll find freedom that changes how you engage with music and the rest of life.
An individual relationship with God actually does transforms everything, including our music.
We pursue God above the opinion of people, so we can bring everything back to Him and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us directly.
God has put in us a desire for real impact through our lives - we can seek that wholeheartedly knowing that reflecting God and his promises is the goal.
When we look at the Bible, we see that the way we think about God and ourselves can enable us to see deeper fruit, especially in our music.
God is with us and is the source of true fulfillment — how should we think about pursuing that at all costs.
We can learn from Jesus’ example and the Bible as we lead others with our music to engage God directly.
Jared Hoffman takes us through scripture and his experience as an experienced worship musician to uncover a greater expectation we can have as we serve the church.
