Throne or Theater - Matt Redman & Chris Blue | Masterclass Episode 1

In this premiere episode of Voices from the Masterclass—a special series from Faithly, recorded live at the Preaching Masterclass 2025 in Palm Springs—Rev. Adam Durso is joined by Matt Redman and Chris Blue for a deeply moving conversation to explore the sacred responsibility of worship leaders, the surprising places grace shows up, and the beauty of unity across diverse cultures and sounds. From unforgettable moments of worship in iconic spaces to behind-the-scenes stories of songwriting and spiritual formation, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it means to lead with authenticity, humility, and Christ-centered purpose.

Together, they reflect on the tension between preparation and spontaneity, as well as the dangers of self-promotion in ministry, before diving into the importance of mentoring the next generation of worship leaders.
