Chelsea sits down with Michael Bleecker and Ryanne Molinari, author of Spirit-Filled Singing: Bearing Fruit as We Worship Together, to explore how congregational singing is not just expressive—but formative. Rooted in passages like Ephesians 5, Colossians 3, and Galatians 5, Ryanne draws a compelling connection: singing together is one of the primary ways the Holy Spirit cultivates His fruit in us.

If you’ve ever struggled with “not liking the music,” questioned excellence vs. authenticity, or wrestled with how to lead people into meaningful worship—this one will sharpen and ground you.

Key Takeaways

Singing is formative: It doesn’t just express what we feel—it shapes who we become.
Preference can be sanctified: Loving others through their songs grows unity.
Participation fuels joy: Engagement often precedes emotion.
Faithfulness > performance: Worship is about offering, not impressing.
Patience builds people: Especially in volunteer-driven ministry.
Worship is a lifestyle: Not a Sunday experience, but a daily rhythm.
