Grief, Joy, and Worship Leading // WC Dallas

In this podcast, we are joined by three Worship Circle group leaders who began their journey with the ministry by taking the first step of attending the annual online SUMMIT! Cristabelle Braden, Jayden Stanley, and Seth Hardy are with us to share what it was like for them to take that first step, and also what God has done in their lives since.  http://www.worshipcircle.com

Our guest on this podcast has remained faithful through every season—as a friend, husband, father, drummer, and pastor. From the early days of 7:22 in Atlanta, GA, to serving on church staff for many years, and now in his role as a Working Genius Coach, Elliott shares how God has used his passion for being behind the band as a drummer to shepherd and guide teams toward greater health and wholeness. http://www.worshipcircle.com

Are you feeling hurt, tired, lonely, and yearning for a safe community that offers presence and love? Our REST Retreat, scheduled for October 20-22 this coming fall, could be an ideal starting point for you to embark on the Worship Circle journey! In this episode, we are delighted to have Aaron and Janie Hoskins share their inspiring story of how God met them and continues to meet them through their deep connection to this family.   http://www.worshipcircle.com

In this podcast, we hear from Jala Tass and Demi Dodds from Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX, as well as Meridith Parker and Sabrina Dillard from New Life Church in Denton, TX, following our time at the first-ever Worship Circle Story Conference in Dallas, TX. They each share a bit about their journey in ministry and also how God revealed His love and presence to them at the story conference.  http://www.worshipcircle.com

We often struggle to sit with others in their pain and sorrow because we haven’t fully faced our own. Instead, we offer verses or spiritual-sounding one-liners—sometimes without realizing they signal our discomfort with being truly present in suffering. But Jesus knew how.In this podcast, our friend Karrie Scott Garcia helps us understand why our past stories matter and how, through community, our brains can be rewired and healed http://www.worshipcircle.com

In this podcast, we hear from our dear friend Heath Balltzglier. Heath played bass on both Worship Circle projects. He is a gifted songwriter, worship leader, husband, and dad. Heath's stories have been known to bring healing laughter to those around him. http://www.worshipcircle.com

Whether during his years with Truth and 4Him, or serving as a worship pastor in the local church, Andy Chrisman’s voice and heart for God have been an encouragement and blessing to so many. In this episode, we discuss Andy’s music and worship history and his podcast “One Degree From Andy,” where he allows us all to hear from so many Christian artists that reminded us on our journeys that we are loved and not alone. http://www.worshipcircle.com

We are honored to have former 4Him group member, artist, worship leader, and pastor, Mark Harris, in this podcast. Mark is now part of our Worship Circle family as a small group leader and brings years of experience walking with God and leading others to carry out the calling of leading others to encounter God’s presence. Mark will be with us at Worship Circle Dallas May 1-3, 2025. http://www.worshipcircle.com

In this podcast, we are honored to spend time with author and teacher Steve Cuss. Steve's books "Managing Leadership Anxiety" and "The Expectation Gap" are written out of his journey of experiencing the deep connection between fostering a well self as a way of being most present to God and others.  http://www.worshipcircle.com

In this podcast, Todd shares a tool we’ve used at Worship Circle for years. As God continues to lead us, it has become even more integral. We hope that you will begin to be curious about the pace at which you live, and the stories you are comprised of. As we allow ourselves to be honest about our stories of harm, we become more able to bring an “authentic” or “integrated” response to God! http://www.worshipcircle.com
