As a worship leader, songwriter, and mentor, Paul Baloche has spent over three decades shaping the landscape of modern worship. Widely known for writing global worship anthems such as “Open the Eyes of My Heart,” “Above All,” “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising),” and more, Paul’s mission has always extended far beyond the platform. 

He and our host Chris Kuti discuss the difference between personal and pastoral worship, embodying whole-hearted worship leading, and how being someone who loves and believes what you’re singing as a worship leading is critical and at the end of the day, more important than perfection.

Over the course of his storied, 40+ year career, Michael W. Smith has written and released over 36 no. 1 songs, received 45+Dove Awards, and has sold more than 15 million albums. But far more important than any of these accolades and milestones, he’s given back to the global community (through Compassion International, Rocketown, and more), and has exemplified living out the calling of a whole-hearted worship leader.

We are excited to introduce a new host for the Lead Worship Well podcast in Chris Kuti! Chris and Michael discuss going the distance, dying to self, worship as a way of life, his new song for the Church (“Hymn For Communion”) and how you hold family, faith and a calling like this over a lifetime.
