THE YEAR IN REVIEW
MINISTRY MOMENTS FROM 2025 | Alexander MacDougall
2025. What a year it was for all of us! As couriers of worship, we at Worship Musician Magazine are delighted and privileged to bring you, monthly, prospective and insights from worship leaders, musicians, songwriters and artists, as well as articles from our many fine contributors.
And so, we thought that we would take a look at this past year’ s issues, as well as our buyers’ guides, at some of the wisdom offered by our guest interviewees. Each of the quotes selected offer a mature, Christlike worldview, of our collective callings in worship. Enjoy.
“ I love the church. I love the global church. I love the denominations that are vastly different that all celebrate a different side of who God is, I think in a big way. And I love the aspect of the body of Christ with Jesus being the head and all of us being different parts of it.” ~ Jenn Johnson [ on her thoughts about differences in worship practices ]
“ And I realize now, the greater risk was to not leave. The greater risk would’ ve been staying, and it would’ ve been at the risk of never actually stepping into the fullness of what God had called, not just me, but our family too.” ~ Tauren Wells [ on his decision to plant a church, and step back as a touring artist ]
