S4Ep30: Yancy - Sweet Sound: The Power of Discipling Kids in Worship
This week Mike and Sarah talk with singer-songwriter and now author Yancy, about unlocking the power of discipling kids in worship in her new book, Sweet Sound: The Power of Discipling Kids in Worship.
STOP just doing songs and START leading worship by making disciples who know what it means to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth.
No matter our age, each one of us was designed to praise, and for our praise to shift the atmosphere and usher in freedom and deliverance. Our worship is a sacrifice unto the Lord-this includes the praises of children. It's powerful. It's beautiful. It's sweet. Can you imagine children singing out, with their whole hearts, praises to their King? It's quite possibly the sweetest sound you will ever hear! It matters. Jesus himself said, "From the lips of children and infants, you, Lord, have called forth your praise." (Matthew 21:16)
This book is full of prophetic, practical, and power-filled truth. It will change the way you view kids worship, as well as your own ability to lead. By using examples from the life of King David, as well as her own personal experiences, Yancy is purposed to empower you to raise up kids who desire to live a life of worship on a daily basis, not only on Sundays. This is about their future. Are you ready to be a part of that?
