Darnell Harris joins us for a special conversation about the tension between industry success and spiritual authenticity in worship leadership.
• The episode was prompted by a controversial podcast featuring Norman from Tribl Records discussing his industry-focused approach with Maverick City Music
• Darnell shares concerns about worship leaders feeling their ministry isn't valuable if it doesn't bring headlines, Grammys, or viral moments
• The crucial question: are you being led by the Lord or by the marketplace?
• Understanding the difference between what is "good" and what is "God"
• King David's story illustrates the danger of adopting methods that work but aren't God's prescribed way
• True success comes from obedience to God, not metrics, likes, or streams
• Worship must be formed in everything you do, not just when you're on stage
• The challenge of maintaining spiritual discernment in a social media-saturated culture
