In this episode, we interview LFBI professor of Prayer and Worship and Midtown Baptist Temple praise team leader Eric Phillips. We set the terms of worship biblically, which includes praise as a form of worship, investigating pitfalls praise leaders often fall into, like promoting talent over character and neglecting doctrine for style. We provide answers from the Bible to these issues, as well as tips for leading the congregation in a way that exalts Jesus above all.

In this episode we invited Pastor Sam Miles of Midtown Baptist Temple to share his stories about corporate prayer. He gives us insight into what initiated the need for a weekly corporate prayer meeting and tells us all the ways in which God has used it. He also discusses how the ministry has changed over time and what he has learned about the character of God over the years of praying with his church family.

Eric shares how God used worship ministry to build his faith as well as others in the midst of planting a church in Kansas City.
