In this heartfelt episode of From Pitch to Praise, Matt and Alan welcome longtime Worship Leader Institute coach and mentor Luke Barnett for a rich conversation about raising up the next generation of worshipers.

Luke shares how his first year with WLI inspired a youth singing school for 4th–6th graders—a passion project that flourished into the “Learning to Sing with Luke and Clef” series on Praise & Harmony TV.

But Luke’s vision goes beyond music. With contagiouspassion, he speaks on the life-changing power of scripture memorization, reminding worship leaders that the Word of God is meant to be written on our hearts.

As he quotes passages like Hebrews 4:14–16 and 1 Peter 2:9–10 with deep emotion, Luke urges us all to approach scripture—and worship—with intentionality, joy, and passion.

This is an episode full of inspiration, practical wisdom, and soul-stirring reminders of why singing and scripture go hand-in-hand in forming faith—especially in the hearts of the young.
