This week on the First of Team Podcast, we're going to continue our conversation

around worship and how it both draws us deeper into relationship with God and unites us together as

believers. And when you think about some of the influential worship leaders of the

past decade, you can't help but think of passion.

Their songs are sung regularly in churches all over the world

and have been impactful for me personally as well.

So today we're thrilled to have Brett Janker with us

who is one of the leaders and

riders for passion. I know that his wisdom and insight will leave you encouraged and

eager to dive deeper into your relationship with God today.

Welcome to the First of Team Podcast. Well Brett, so glad to have you here as a conversation with me and

Josh so excited to hear from you some perspective on how this year's been

for you and some perspective on worship and all the rest.

So thanks for making space to be with us.

Of course, thank you guys for having me. What a year.

No kidding.

What a year for sure. Yeah, so to maybe kick it off, it's hard to believe that at the beginning of the year, you

guys were worshiping with over 60,000 students at the Passion Conference that seems almost

unfathomable right now with where we sit here

at this pandemic and so I know we could spend almost like the whole

podcast talking about this but how have things changed for you and use a band and

how are things going and how do you see God moving in the midst of all of that
