[ Bradford ] Josh Baldwin - Live at Church , and Brandon Lake - House of Miracles

[ WM ] What word of advice do you have for our readers in the worship community ?

[ Bradford ] My spiritual advice would be to always draw near to God . James 4 tells us that when we draw near to God , He will draw near to us . We need to be near Him to lead our church the best we can .

A more practical word would be to never underestimate the power of practicing one more time . It will never hurt . Knowing a song inside and out is very different from just memorizing it . Get it deep into your being so you can just pour out on stage leading your community .

[ WM ] If we could watch one video of yours or one podcast , which one would you select ?

[ Bradford ] We do a lot of gear and guitar stuff . And I love it . But I really love sharing from my heart and what God has taught me over my years in ministry . Earlier in 2023 I did one called “ Discerning God ’ s will for your life .” While I do not claim to be an expert on the subject , I do feel there are some helpful things that a lot of people ask often and don ’ t always know how to process . worshiptutorials . com youtube . com /@ worshiptutorials IG : @ worshiptutorials and @ bnmitchell Bradford & Brian goofing around
