Andrew Holt: When Worship Becomes Your Identity (Big Mistake)

Listen & Watch This Episode

Andrew Holt

 

You might be leading worship for the wrong reason… and not even know it.

Andrew Holt has been leading worship since he was 12 years old. He built his life around it. And then one day he realized he had no idea who he was without it.

In this episode of the Worship Online Podcast, Andrew shares how chasing ministry became a substitute for simply being a son of God. He talks about the season that broke him open, what he learned pouring lattes at a coffee shop at 5am, and why he could not be trusted with what God had in store until he could honestly say God was enough without the platform.

Andrew is the worship pastor at The Belonging Co in Nashville, where he has spent 10 years building one of the most respected worship teams in the country. But this conversation is not really about Nashville. It is about the thing that trips up worship leaders everywhere, at every church size, at every level.

Your identity is not earned. It is received.
