In this episode Nick and Alex pick up their brushes and paint somewhat of a more practical 'worship 'service picture regarded as their ‘Mona priesta’. Weaving together some of the themes and topics discussed so far on the podcast, they look at how these might fit into the tapestry of a Sunday service and how we can honour God in this space both individually and corporately! Through laughter, personal stories, and a bit of painting gone wrong, they unpack what it means to come together in worship as God’s people.

Nick and Alex discuss how our varied expressions of worship—whether raising hands, shouting praise, or simply standing in awe—create a beautiful, unified response to God. They explore how worship invites us into the heavenly throne room, and they reflect on the importance of approaching worship with thanksgiving, rather than expectation or critique. Tune in to hear about the heart behind worship and why we’re all part of the same team, even if we express it differently!

In this episode Nick and Alex start to look at how our different preferences and expressions of worship fit together into the broader picture of the unified body gathering on a Sunday. The boys plunge into 1 Chronicles to see how David's preferences affected both him and the nation, and they also share some preferences of their own.

Join Alex and Nick as they navigate the sometimes murky waters of worship preferences. They kick off with a light-hearted chat about their favourite Bible books before diving into the meat of the discussion: how our personal preferences in worship might not always align with what God desires. Using the story of David bringing the Ark back to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 13, 1 Samuel 6, 1 Chronicles 15), they illustrate the importance of seeking God's guidance in how we worship Him.

The podcast encourages listeners to consider the posture of their hearts and to be willing to lay down their own preferences in favour of what pleases God. Whether you're a worship leader or someone who loves to sing from the pews, this episode is a thought-provoking look at how we can all better align our worship with God's heart.

This conversation sees Nick and Alex dive into the intricacies of how God's existence and presence can be everywhere all the time, and simultaneously present at specific locations and moments in time. Where does God love to dwell? Why would we invite God in if he's technically already there?

Join Nick and Alex as they navigate the sometimes confusing waters of what it means to "enter into God's presence." Is God not already everywhere? They discuss the biblical basis for this idea, drawing from both Old and New Testament examples, and share personal insights on how to prepare our hearts for worship. From the throne room imagery to the practicalities of Sunday services, this episode is packed with thoughtful reflections and a touch of humour. Whether you're a worship leader or someone who simply loves to sing praises, this conversation will encourage you to seek a deeper connection with God.
