Video Transcription

I feel like there was a point in my life where worship felt compartmentalized as singing. And there’s a start time and a stop time. And the older you get, the more you realize none of your life is compartmentalized. You can pretend it is. It’s really not. And I think there’s been an openness a lot of times through difficulty that just opens you up in a way that is unexpected and forces you to trust. And I think that’s why maybe it’s another term that’s almost maybe not a synonym, but close to, like trust and faith and the feeling of leaning into life in God that replaced my compartmentalized version as a more holistic lens for worship. – – Pat Barrett
