## Resource

There is a BIG difference between playing music and leading a congregation to worship. In this episode, Michelle Alonzo shares the story behind her song "Be Still". It was written during COVID while navigating a deeply personal journey through miscarriage and infertility. She opens up and shares what it means to hold onto faith in the storm. But Michelle also gave advice about running a music department. This episode is a field guide for any worship leader trying to do more with less. We're so glad you're here!
