From Success to Burn Out in the Christian Worship Industrial Complex: Jesse Reeves
Jesse Reeves is a songwriter, musician, church planter, and father. As a songwriter, he has co-written several songs that are sung in the church around the world today including “How Great is Our God,” “I Speak Jesus,” “Our God,” “I Will Rise, “Lord, I Need You,” and more.
As a musician, Jesse spent 17 years leading worship, touring and playing bass guitar in the Chris Tomlin Band. As a church planter, Jesse and his wife, Janet, have been a part of planting The Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, Tx and Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He and Janet have four children and live in Austin, Tx, where they pastor a network of house churches called KingsPorch.
In this episode, I sit down with Jesse to talk about his rise to success in the Christian worship world, his burnout and dechurched experience, and how God rebuilt a robust faith and love for the church in Jesse's heart.

This was a great interview, never heard his story before but it resonated so much with where I find myself today!
I loved Between Thieves!
I love the Divine Liturgy historical Holy Spirit led worship. I also love Christian rock. Would you interview Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf? For me I appreciate Christian who make music not so much Christian worship outside of Holy spaces because we already have a historical apolstic canon of Worship. Ie. Divine Liturgy e.g
I totally remember Jesse w/ Chris Tomlin at Hot Hearts in Wichita Falls! 😃
Listened to this on Spotify. It was really good.
Question...
There is something that seems just so very wrong with 'monetizating' the worship of Almighty God!!! This is so detestable!
It's kind of cynical to take everything appealing and deliberate about a worship production and lump it into "manipulation". IMO if something isn't free, it isn't ministry. But that's me.
