"Making Worship Dangerous"

April 7-9, 2008

Does our worship play a pivotal role in transforming people more and more into the likeness of Jesus Christ?  Making Worship Dangerous is a ministry-changing event for pastors, leadership teams, worship directors and worship teams, as well as individuals seeking to understand and explore the power and potential of worship in shaping both spiritual and physical lives.

Led by Dr. Mark Labberton, author of the groundbreaking book The Dangerous Act of Worship, and legendary artist, author, and speaker, Michael Card, Making Worship Dangerous is a 3 day, 2 night workshop designed to affirm worship's essential role in shaping individuals, churches, and our work in the world.  Together they will lead us through times of discussion, exploration, and worship to engage us in ways that we can expand our definition of worship and how it calls us to engage in the social and justice issues that exist in our world.

You will walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of true biblical worship and its power to transform churches and lives
  • Practical ways to implement creative worship ideas at your church 
  • Enriching times of discussion regarding issues of worship and justice
  • A chance to spend time with other ministry leaders who feel strongly about issues of biblical and social justice
  • A chance to spend time with both Mark Labberton and Michael Card in this unique and intimate workshop setting

 In Praise of Labberton's The Dangerous Act of Worship:

"An important book. Mark Labberton offers a
scalding reminder that worship is not
about our well-being but the world's.
I can't imagine any worship leader,
or any worshiper, seeing worship in the
same way after reading this book."

 

—Tim Stafford, senior writer, Christianity Today,
author, Surprised by Jesus

"The Dangerous Act of Worship is a candid
look at our priorities. . . . Labberton questions
what an encounter with God truly looks like. . . .
[I]t's not safe or controlled or dependent on
having the best tech booth . . . or the most people
in the pews. It is about waking up as God's people
and engaging our world with love and revealing
God's redemption."

 
—Worship Leader, May 2007
