Letting God Take Over

Dec 18th, 2025 3:45 PM

How does prophetic worship actually work — and what makes some church environments unlock something deeper than predictable Sunday sets? What happens when worship goes off-script, a pastor hands away the mic, and spontaneous moments start shaping culture?   Pastor Ron sits down with Red Worship to talk trust, ego, chemistry, prophetic moments, sound excellence, and how worship leaders can help pastors embrace the hunger of a new generation.
