How Worship Pastors Choose Songs That Actually Form the Church

Описание: Every worship song teaches something. In this episode of Sound Doctrine, the team unpacks how worship pastors and church leaders choose songs that don’t just sound good, but spiritually form the congregation.
Song selection is not about personal taste — it’s about shepherding people toward God. This conversation explores theology in worship music, the emotional impact of songs, accountability in planning, and how worship leaders guide congregations through intentional musical formation.
If you’re a worship pastor, music director, church leader, or worship team member, this episode reframes song selection as pastoral care, not just playlist building.
🎙️ In this episode, we cover:
How worship songs shape belief and spiritual formation
Choosing congregational music with theological clarity
Balancing personal preference and congregational need
The emotional power of music in worship
Accountability in worship planning
Building a healthy “worship diet” for the church
Shepherding the congregation through song
