Description
Equipped for Worship is a pastoral podcast for worship pastors, musicians, and church leaders — especially those serving in small-town, rural, and bi-vocational ministry. Hosted by Chuck Harris, a Worship & Media Pastor in rural Kentucky, each episode offers Scripture-rooted encouragement, practical wisdom, and honest conversation. This podcast exists to remind worship leaders that worship is more than a setlist — it’s a response to the gospel and a faithful calling in the local church.
