What does it actually look like to build a new sound in worship ministry?

In this episode, Keith sits down with Josh Holiday to talk about the creative journey behind Elevation Rhythm, the story behind songs like "Goodbye Yesterday" and the challenge of building something fresh inside an already established ministry.

But this conversation goes deeper than music. Josh shares why community has to come before platform, how to develop young worship leaders with grace and why courage matters so much when God is asking you to create something that people do not understand yet.

If you are a worship leader, musician, songwriter, or creative serving inside someone else's vision, this episode will encourage you to stay faithful, stay humble, and keep showing up.
