Whether you serve on a worship team, lead in ministry, or are simply hungry to grow deeper in your walk with God, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to pursue authority God’s way.

    🔹 Why submission precedes authority
    🔹 How intimacy with God in prayer builds spiritual strength
    🔹 The role of faithfulness in carrying lasting authority

  • Covenant or Convenience? Rethinking Relationships in Ministry
    Jan 5 2026

    Send us a text

    In this episode of the Protect the Altar Podcast, we dive deep into the difference between covenant relationships and transactional relationships in ministry.

    So much of today’s ministry culture is built on usefulness, platforms, and outcomes—but God’s design has always been rooted in covenant: relationships marked by commitment, sacrifice, faithfulness, and shared responsibility before Him.

    We talk honestly about:

    • What defines a covenant relationship in ministry
    • How transactional thinking subtly creeps into worship teams and leadership
    • Biblical examples of covenant vs. convenience
    • Why covenant protects the altar, the people, and the presence of God
    • How to evaluate your relationships without becoming cynical or guarded
    • If you serve on a worship team, lead in ministry, or are navigating church relationships, this conversation will challenge you to shift from “What can I get?” to “What has God joined together?”


    Our prayer is that this episode helps restore honor, loyalty, and spiritual health to ministry relationships—so the altar remains protected.

    Overcoming Pride | Protect the Altar Podcast

    Pride is one of the most subtle—and dangerous—traps the enemy uses against the worshippers of God. In this episode of Protect the Altar, we have an honest and pastoral conversation about how pride creeps into worship ministry, how it disguises itself, and how it ultimately threatens the purity of the altar.

    We talk about:

    • The most common ways pride shows up in worship leaders and teams
    • Why humility is essential for carrying God’s presence
    • How to guard your heart while stewarding skill and excellence
    • Why we use click and tracks in worship—and how to do it without losing sensitivity to the Holy Spirit

    This episode is for worship leaders, musicians, pastors, and anyone who wants to serve God with both excellence and a pure heart. Our prayer is that this conversation helps you protect what God has entrusted to you and continue to minister from a place of humility and dependence on Him.

    🎧 Listen, reflect, and let God search your heart.
