Instagram Facebook TikTok In this episode, Sean Bennett and Luke Jackson unpack one of the most common sources of conflict in church worship: confusing personal preference, ministry philosophy, and biblical theology. When those categories collapse into one, conversations about songs, service length, instruments, volume, style, and liturgy quickly become harder than they need to be. Sean and Luke talk through how churches can build a clearer worship philosophy by starting upstream with the purpose of the gathered church, reading Scripture as a unified story, and doing the theological homework before questions or criticism arise. They also explain why preference is not the enemy, but unexamined preference can quietly shape decisions that leaders mistake for conviction. If you lead worship, production, or church services in any capacity, this conversation will help you think more clearly about why your church worships the way it does—and how to explain those decisions with humility, clarity, and care. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.
