Johnny Markin and guest host Brad Steeves interview Jeff Bucknam, Lead Pastor of Northview Community Church, about the challenging topic of Worship in a Consumerist culture. How do we balance making Christ famous with the artist’s desire to have their art or Christian resource brought to the attention of the Christian public. Topics include questions about the definition of success, and the conflict with our Western ‘marketing’ culture with the call of the Gospel. Moreover, we are challenged to understand the power of our art to ”theologize’ our listeners. |

In addition, he discusses the historic event at Wembley Stadium in 1997 that gathered an entire nation to worship Christ. Noel closes with some good, practical advice for worship leaders on keeping fresh, and letting God work through you! |
