From Worship Leader to Senior Pastor with Tauren Wells

We are excited to share a conversation with Tauren Wells, who will be speaking and leading at MT Conference 2026! Tauren shares about the days he first fell in love with a song's power to create a space for people to find friendship with Jesus. He speaks to forming a relationship of trust and transparency with your senior leadership, and the leaders in his life that paved the path to his current role. He also speaks to instilling a culture of humility in your worship team and how our ultimate desire, whether we're holding the mic or holding the door, is to open up a space for people to encounter God.

Mind, Body & Spiritual Health with Jenn Johnson

Jenn Johnson is a worship leader, songwriter, speaker, and co-founder of Bethel Music, where she serves as president. Jenn has helped shape modern worship through songs sung by churches worldwide, including “Goodness of God,” “Holy Forever,” and “The Blood.” We hope this conversation reminds worship leaders to remember what is true when they walk out to lead songs on Sunday: that it is not about what we do and how we perform, but striving to embody who God has said we are. She and Chris discuss identity, building community, mental, physical and spiritual health, and the quiet, hidden years that God uses to shape leaders.

Leaning Into Peace Amid Grief with Bethany Wohrle

Bethel Music artist Bethany Wohrle's story is a journey from profound pain to unwavering promise, rooted entirely in the faithfulness of God. Her prayer for her upcoming album (out 7/10) is simple and sincere: that it would remind listeners of God's faithfulness, even in the hardest seasons of life. Bethany joins us to share how these songs came out of a very dark season and how they’ve led her into deeper peace in her relationship with God. We hope this episode encourages you in whatever you’re walking through!

Personal Worship vs. Pastoral Worship with Paul Baloche

As a worship leader, songwriter, and mentor, Paul Baloche has spent over three decades shaping the landscape of modern worship. Widely known for writing global worship anthems such as “Open the Eyes of My Heart,” “Above All,” “Hosanna (Praise Is Rising),” and more, Paul’s mission has always extended far beyond the platform. He and our host Chris Kuti discuss the difference between personal and pastoral worship, embodying whole-hearted worship leading, and how being someone who loves and believes what you’re singing as a worship leading is critical and at the end of the day, more important than perfection.

Staying Whole for the Long Haul with Michael W. Smith

Over the course of his storied, 40+ year career, Michael W. Smith has written and released over 36 no. 1 songs, received 45+Dove Awards, and has sold more than 15 million albums. But far more important than any of these accolades and milestones, he’s given back to the global community (through Compassion International, Rocketown, and more), and has exemplified living out the calling of a whole-hearted worship leader. We are excited to introduce a new host for the Lead Worship Well podcast in Chris Kuti! Chris and Michael discuss going the distance, dying to self, worship as a way of life, his new song for the Church (“Hymn For Communion”) and how you hold family, faith and a calling like this over a lifetime.
