I paused the video to pray, but my menstrual cramps were really bad and it was distracting me. I heard Him say, "Do you want me to take them away?" A tiny bit of doubt came in but I said, "Yeah." And the pain stopped 🙌 He said, "I want to do the same for you." (Meaning have amazing encounters like the one Steffany described). Had to share that testimony, He is so good 🙌🙌🙌

Awesome! Rest with him and Steffany’s music. I’ve had Confidence live on KZbin on repeat ALL DAY in my van and the shower. It’s such an exquisite song I’m going to have to do the same tomorrow too! 😂

@@Skyis612 The basics! Yes!

[@autumnjanell]

Yup. I had to pause the video on that one.

[@c7bluerose]

Coming from a Baptist background, I don’t know any of these people or names mentioned. However, the authenticity and authority with which they speak drew me in because they radiate the Holy Spirit. Great conversation. I’ve been grieved about modern worship for over 15 years now and couldn’t put my finger on it. God is drawing us from all denominations to operate as one body that is set apart and led by ONE head, Christ. Beautiful to see.

[@normaswilliams]

Thank you for your response. I have a friend who is baptist who was taught that the worship music she (the guest here, Steffany) sings is a sin. And it’s that same music that has ushered me in to the know Jesus more freely. 🙏

[@xchorro]

seriously. denomination aside, I gave my life back 2 years ago unaware of any sort of denomination but it was like I was flying and running with Jesus. He was taking me DEEP into his presence and spirit and I had no education or back knowledge of it to give it language or even say this is “charismatic” but honestly I can care less. The Lord graced me with the intensity of who He is to just sit in His presence and BAWL at his feet. My heart breaks for religious people and denominations that bat eyes and fold their arms in offense at seeing and hearing the beautiful expression to JESUS! David says he will get more undignified than this!! It’s not about us or what we look like but get out of your head and urself y’all! Give him what he deserves and Go there with him! When we try to rationalize Jesus and his works into the human experience we completely miss him because he is fully human but fully God and there is nothing humanly normal about Jesus! His resurrection, life, death everything! There is no one like Him

[@c7bluerose]

@@xchorro Amen!

[@1saamor897]

@@xchorroa lot of mega churches are not good churches. a lot preach to please men but ik they don’t talk about sin a lot. they preach a lot more about the goodness of God etc. ofc that’s good, but we need to have more sermons about our own sin

[@xchorro]

@@1saamor897That’s why you don’t put your faith and trust in mega churches or any church. Yes be in the body but keep your eyes on Jesus every time. His spirit will convict you of your filth and in his presence He will sanctify you and purify you. It’s a win win full circle of “Jesus you’re making me more like you and taking me to deeper higher depths to experience even more of YOU!” When you realize that because of your own sin & convictions you’re held back from Him it should make you want to drop everything every single time. Full obedience & full surrender! Eyes on Jesus, only Jesus 🙌

[@propheticmusician]

I got to play piano for Steffany during a bethel youth retreat in Chico California. Never in my life did I play with someone who made me feel I could be fully ME and let God flow through my music as a worshipper than she did. Precious memories. This was before she started leading for Bethel. Bless you Steffany and your precious family! Jesus is so WORTHY!❤

The first time I heard her speak it was presence night 2022 😅

[@bro.jordan7592]

Yes!

[@maggiessweettooth3022]

So well written! Truth!

[@jerrybozeman9858]

She really seems to be the real deal.

[@salgar1234]

She is sadly deceived. Cute tactic bringing their ‘bibles’ as a ‘holy’ prop and never reading them. They’re simply talking about themselves.

"You can feel the difference between high energy and high praise" 👏 🙌 🙏

[@crissywilliams5749]

Stephany, the world needs more of your voice, both in song and in words spoken because you are a pointer to Jesus. Ready for part 2! Yes, let’s do this again.

I always feel so encouraged and inspired everytime I hear anything from Steffany. Her heart for Jesus makes me want to seek Him more deeply and intimately. The world needs more Steffany's that aren't afraid to share Jesus in all His glory. The world has made it more about us than Jesus and we need to go back.

The fact that I'm watching this on Saturday night before I lead worship in the morning is not a coincidence! God knew I needed this message, at this time. Thank you!

"Consistency is the key to intimacy." My Dad said that. I love that she said "Intimacy and the Fear of the Lord." That's so needed.

[@jeanetteharris9371]

Steffany - thank you for being REAL. Bless you for speaking TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Worship belongs to Him and must be centered, focused on Him. Always. It is so refreshing to listen to you, an end-time leader, who does not compromise. This generation must hear what it means to be set apart in holiness before the Lord. It's crucial.

[@cindylou82kingdom36]

So many good nuggets! The Lord has ministered greatly to me through this. Thank you!

[@tamarasholes1607]

Stephanie your earlie vulnerable songs about your vulnerability about where you are and where God meets you there is worship! These songs have led me out of darkness. Be real. Please don't get " religious" on us, stay real in your holiness in the Kingdom. Emotions and our brokenness are real and necessary places in growing closer to Jesus.

[@dyanimoriah]

She’s not negating that. She even said that those are really important songs. What she is saying is that it’s not wise to have worship with those songs with a congregation. Also, a lot of new “worship” songs (I’d categorize them as Christian and not worship - as to keep them separate) are exactly as you write. But worship songs are supposed to worship God and give Him praise. Not one’s personal story. Which is why she said the best thing for a worship leader to do is get out of the way - their pride, and arrogance and just worship God. Using the Bible and go back to the Bible when writing worship songs. That’s why there is all this stuff coming out about some writers for Bethel, Hillsong, etc.

[@spreadthemessage15]

​@@dyanimoriah Sister in Christ ❤❤❤, just wondering though, what about the Book of Psalms? David writes a lot about life challenges and his struggles but of course he chooses to praise God through it all. Is this book not considered true worship because he mentions himself? Also, the Bible says we defeat the devil by the Blood of the Lamb & the Word of our Testimony. Our personal testimonies are so important, they glorify God! If someone writes a song about a personal struggle and overcoming it through Christ, I don't understand how we can say that is not worship? Perhaps we shouldn't lead a congregation with a personal song of victory but to say it's not true worship sounds a little extreme? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ The person who wrote it could have done it with a pure heart. just trying to understand 😅

[@PandaMan20210]

Beautiful and humble and Christ-centered!❤

[@marniehamilton1225]

I’m so glad I listened to this. I’m not a worship leader or in music at all. I’m only a worshipper, lover of Jesus, and a long distance admirer of Steffany and Will, Africa and Iris BUT…. As I listened, the glory of God filled my car and a hope and longing was redeposited as I listened to you remember the past together. Then, much confirmation even verbatim as I listened to Steffany continue to share her heart and wisdom. This was precious and holy. Thank you. 🤍

[@TonyTimmons-yr6ft]

I can feel the Lord the her sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.. her cup doesn’t just run over.. water springs forth. Oh King Jesus “lay you hand on them and they will live” (Matthew 9:18)… Lord I want to be touch by you again. Refresh my spirit Lord ❤️

[@parfenyj]

55:00 About the entitlement vs. humility thing, Jesus Culture visited Finland in 2015 and it really struck me how they were just the worship team for the meeting. No pomp, no circumstance, not even anything like "Hello Helsinki, we're Jesus Culture!..." ... they didn't even introduce themselves, they simply did the work of a worship team. Wonderful humility!

[@cherearenea]

I can’t thank you enough for this interview. So refreshing for so many reasons.

I want to transcript and plaque this entire podcast. Spot on.

[@allydawson2212]

Such a good word from 37.30min. We need to remember that when Jesus calls you into something, He said “Follow me and I will make you………”. It’s all about Him 🙏🏻 Not for us to go rushing out and take the glory for ourselves, but to humble ourselves before Him first and then allow ourselves to be a conduit for Him to work through to bless others, to be totally surrendered to Him, to glorify Him

[@tamday7098]

I learned a lot of very interesting things about Wooster that I had no idea of. I've lived in N. Canton and surrounding area for most of my life. I don't have the words to say really but you both seem familiar. I was drawn to Steffany right away not real long ago. Saw a music video. I sing; use to sing. Sadly God gave me a gift more than one. And I messed up!! I'm getting old now as well, as you mentioned .😊 I'm just another prodigal came home because God is so good. I wish I would of been at that church!! My family still needs deliverance. Thankyou Lord for these two and this talk and testimony. ❤❤

🕊️🫶🏽 when first getting saved I was lead to her worship back in 2013!! I was so blown away by the anointing of God even today coming through her worship!! God truly uses her as a vessel to bring his presence... an even as she was speaking I know the feeling of just weeping in that secret place with him.
