The True Nature Worship
Episode 27
In this powerful episode of Be the Storm, Dr. John Eckhart sits down with worship leader Jackie Baker for a deep and thought-provoking conversation about the true nature of worship, anointing, giftedness, and the fear of the Lord.
What is the real role of a worship leader? Is it performance, personality, and excellence — or is it facilitating an encounter with God? Together, they explore biblical examples from 1 Samuel, examining the qualifications of David as a skillful musician "and the Lord was with him." They also unpack lessons from the lives of Moses, Balaam, and Paul, highlighting the difference between operating in gifting and walking in genuine intimacy with God.
Is modern worship emotional manipulation — or is it meant to engage the whole soul in authentic spiritual encounter? What happens when celebrity Christianity replaces humility? And how does the fear of the Lord guard us from pride and self-promotion?
This episode challenges ministers, worship leaders, pastors, and believers alike to examine their motivations. Are we drawing people to ourselves — or handing them off to Jesus?
This is not a surface-level conversation. This is a call to depth. A call to humility. A call to encounter.
Because worship is not about stealing the show. It's about creating a garden where God can meet His people.
And sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do… is get out of the way.
