Description

Welcome to Katie’s masterclass, Worship Matters. In each episode, Katie will discuss the Biblical and theological foundations of worship. Throughout this series, we’re going to unpack some of the most basic questions of what worship is and give insight to understand not just what we do, but why we do it. Our prayer is that this masterclass would not just be information, but content that sparks transformation in you, strengthening your relationship with God.
