I love it. Whenever I take time to partake of the liturgical rhythms (which is more rarely then I'd like), whether they be praying the hours or observing a holy-day, I feel a burden lift. It's like I can rest against the shoulder of tradition. Because I wasn't raised in a Christian home (we all came to faith later in my teen years), I had very little experience with church liturgy. As a result, discovering this stuff is like coming across a treasure buried in my own backyard. Who knew??!! It's a hard thing to describe, but to say that there's a found grace in the practice of some of these traditions would be very true to what I've experienced. Great post Krista. “Year of Grace”.

Great post Krista.

There's something very freeing in this idea that it's okay to be analog/messy. "To cut out these moments of life...would be to miss a huge piece of who God is." I hadn't thought of it that way until now. Will Krista, you said this really well.

I am totally captured by this idea of the worship artisan as well. I find that I need a new way to view this thing I do called "worship leading" because it so much focuses on what we do instead of who we are.... just like you said in your post! I love the passion that you have for this life-long journey of following God and pursuing to be better at your craft. You challenge me that as excited as I am about being an artisan of worship that it is not a journey for the faint at heart. I must be committed to this call and also be willing to give voice to what this looks like by the way I lead others in worship. Thanks for your thoughts :) Anabeth Krista….
