Sow What? Podcast – Episode 5 Summary Notes
Title: So What is Worship?

Key Themes

Worship is a Lifestyle:
Not limited to music or Sunday services. True worship is about who sits on the throne of your heart and how your life reflects God's presence daily.

Beyond Feelings:
Worship continues even when you don’t "feel like it." It is rooted in truth and identity, not emotions. God is always worthy, regardless of our circumstances.

Offer Your Life:
Referencing Romans 12:1, we are to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice—this is our spiritual act of worship.

Worship as a Response:
Worship is our response to who God is, not just what He has done. Even mundane acts, like sweeping a church floor, can be an act of worship.

Praise Through the Valley:
(Hebrews 13:15) Worship includes praising God in both good times and hard times. We are called to offer a "sacrifice of praise."

Rehearsing God’s Goodness:
Reflecting on God's past faithfulness strengthens us. God instructed Israel to set up markers of remembrance (e.g., deliverance from Egypt).

Everyday Worship:
(Galatians 5) The fruit of the Spirit—love, patience, self-control, etc.—are expressions of worship in our day-to-day relationships and interactions.

Transformation from Glory to Glory:
(2 Corinthians 3:18) A worshipful life is one of ongoing transformation and renewal through time in God’s Word and spiritual disciplines.

Guard Against Idolatry:
Lesser things (ambition, social media, comparison, stage performance) often compete for our worship. Worship must center on God, not platform or influence.

Reflection Questions
1. Where in my life have I made worship more about performance or preference than about the presence of God?
2. What would my worship look like if no one else was watching?
3. How can I reflect a life of worship in my everyday choices and not just on Sundays?
