The Power of Prayer with Michael Freeland Miller (founder of UPPERROOM)
Michael Freeland Miller is the lead pastor and founder of UPPERROOM in Dallas, TX. The prayer movement that UPPERROOM first sparked in 2010 has now reached every corner of the globe. His book His House, His Presence serves as a timely reminder for believers worldwide to prioritize intimacy with God and embrace the power of prayer.

Encountering Jesus Through Imperfect People with Anna Golden
Worship leader and Gospel-influenced artist Anna Golden has a heart for worship teams of the local church. We were honored to release her latest album CHURCH early this year on the Lead Worship Well platform, which is all about the revival Anna believes is coming to the local church, in a way we have yet to see. Anna returned to the church she grew up in to draw inspiration for the record. Chris Baker and Anna dig into these songs and this sense of revival, and how imperfect people of faith can lead us back to a perfect savior.

A Celebration of Gospel Music with EJ Gaines, DOE and Aaron Lindsey
The Lead Worship Well podcast is back! To kick off Season 5, we revisit a roundtable conversation we hosted in February on the past, present and future of Gospel Music.
