Session 2: Partakers of the divine: the Taproot of worship
What if worship isn’t the ultimate priority of the church? In this episode of Taproot Sessions, Dave Hook and Corrina Jennings peel back the layers of our “Sunday morning habits” to uncover the Taproot: a deep, spiritual union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
From the template of Isaiah 6 to the “Neverland” of God’s kingdom, Dave shares how a moment of “holy discontent” transformed his 46-year ministry from leading songs to cultivating a life-giving reunion with God. Whether you are a worship leader feeling the weight of performance or a believer longing for “something more,” this conversation is an invitation to see worship not as a hammer, but as a window.
Key Takeaways:
-
Worship vs. God: Why our focus must shift from the act of worship to the Person of God.
-
The “RE” Prefix: Exploring the redemptive arc of Reconciling, Redeeming, and Reuniting.
-
Worship as a Window: Moving from a Western “functional” view of worship to an Eastern “relational” reality.
-
Holy Discontent: Understanding why your frustration with the “status quo” might actually be your calling.
