Zach Neese has been a worship pastor and teacher for more than 20 years. In addition to serving as the Pastor of Worship Development at Gateway Church for 14 years, he also directed the Christ for the Nations School of Worship and helped launch and teach the Worship Leadership programs at The King’s University. Zach has a Kingdom culture perspective of biblical worship ministry that transcends denominational and international lines, and he has trained worship leaders from all over the world.

His book, How to Worship a King, is used by worshipping churches and schools around the world to prepare their people, their students, and their worship teams to minister to God and to the world He loves.

Our Gospel Brand Manager and Grammy-award winning producer Chris Baker sat down with Zach to speak on the effect his compelling book has had on worship teams across the world. Zach encourages us to not prioritize engagement over transformation when leading our congregations and declares that: "Worship isn’t something we do — it’s who we are."

Hillsong UNITED | Sure Thing

“’Sure Thing’ is a prayerful declaration that reminds us of the truth based in God’s word and that we live in a world where everything that can be shaken will be shaken,” says UNITED member Jonathon “JD” Douglass. “But God’s word and purpose for our lives are good and will remain. It’s a song that we can sing with boldness and trust in the fact that, whatever is going on around us, we can have confidence that God is still in control. We can trust that Jesus is stronger than any challenge or circumstance we may face."

JUDAH. | i love YOU

JUDAH. has released a new single “i love You” featuring Dante Bowe and Aaron Moses! “At the end of a prayer I’d say ‘I love you Lord.’ But in my human heart it felt fake because of the way God loves me in comparison,” JUDAH shares about the heart behind his new song. “I felt like the Lord was saying: 'No no no. Your inadequacies are what I want. I love it all. I want it all.'”

Anne Wilson | I Still Believe in Christmas

“I still believe in Christmas” is a song of the hope we have in Our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus. It can be hard to cling to hope in the middle of the world we are in right now, but we have to choose to still believe in the miracle of Christmas. I pray this song leads you closer to Jesus and fills you with His love and comfort during this holiday season."

Benjamin Hastings | Homeward

Sydney, Australia-based Benjamin Hastings is a musician, songwriter and worship leader for Hillsong UNITED. His debut single "Homeward" is available now! This song is a plea for God to keep us on the path of always striving for our heavenly home. 

Kirby Kaple | Let It Be So

"The ultimate fulfillment of the promise to Mary would come on the day when God sets everything right, and 'Wipe every tear from their eyes' (Revelation 21:4). In this sense, the prayer Let it be so with me is about saying yes to all that Jesus came to accomplish through his life and ministry. It’s a decision to not just point at all the broken things in the world that need God’s healing touch, but to let that healing start in us."

Planetshakers | Live at Chapel

“These are songs for the church recorded with very little production, but with hearts that are hungry for the presence of God along with a few organic instruments,” shares Sam Evans, who is featured on the recording along with Joth Hunt, Andy Harrison, Josh Ham, Aimee Evans, Natalie Ruiz and Rudy Nikkerud. “The songs, born out of a time where things looked so bleak, declare a different story, a God-story of faith, hope and trust in the unfailing Word of God, which is good and true in every season of life.”

Hillsong Worship | That's The Power 

"The mighty Name of Jesus stirs up courage, brings restoration and heals the mind, body and spirit. A strong and emboldening anthem for the church today, 'That’s The Power' encourages us to remember that God keeps His promises and that victory in the Name of Jesus is the portion of those who trust Him."

We The Kingdom | A Family Christmas

"Some of these songs have been circulating in our family and have been a part of the Christmas soundtrack in our home for several years and now we can’t wait to get to share them with y’all too this year. Some of these songs are brand new and we can already tell they are gonna hold a special place in our hearts in Christmases to come."

Mac Powell | New Creation

“I think every song has a different viewpoint, a different perspective, and different people working on it. I think in the past, I would have been scared of that. I would have thought there’s not a common thread and the songs are different with different people and so it’s going to sound so disjointed, and yet I think my voice and my writing is what kind of brings it all together and makes it all fit.”

Mack Brock | What A Good God

"This song was written because one of the most amazing characteristics of God is his goodness. Here he is the creator of the universe: he’s all powerful, all knowing, he can do anything that he wants to do, and yet, he chooses to be good to us. His heart is good to us. And so whatever we have to bring to him – our burdens, our prayer requests, our pain and our suffering – we can trust that his response is going to be good."

Rebecca St. James (ft. for KING & COUNTRY) | Kingdom Come

From declaring the hope, healing, and redemption that we have in Christ, to presenting a charge for believers to be the hands and feet of Jesus here and now, “Kingdom Come” paints a beautiful picture of what God’s presence on earth can look like both now and forever.

Aaron Stewart | The Wonder of Christmas

After leaving full-time music ministry to help lead Planning Center in 2011, Aaron Stewart's main creative outlet shifted from writing and performing music, to designing software. Over the years, in addition to volunteering on his church worship team, he is brought in as a guest worship leader or soloist at various churches. Recently he released a Christmas album, The Wonder of Christmas, featuring 9 of his arrangements of Christmas classics, plus 3 original songs.

On today's episode, Darlene Zschech, globally-acclaimed composer, worship leader, pastor, author and speaker, spoke with fellow worship leader, and our Secuencias.com Brand Manager, Christy Colmenares. They speak on Empowering Women in Ministry and what anchoring your identity in Christ through cultivating a culture of encouragement looks like. 

She shared with us how leading worship as a woman looked different in certain parts of the world, but that whatever obstacles she faced, she always reminded herself that she was ultimately there to serve and praise. She declares: “There’s nothing about inequality that pleases the heart of God” and that the Church has a long way to go, but we’re on the move.
