Yup. I had to pause the video on that one.
I paused the video to pray, but my menstrual cramps were really bad and it was distracting me. I heard Him say, "Do you want me to take them away?" A tiny bit of doubt came in but I said, "Yeah." And the pain stopped 🙌 He said, "I want to do the same for you." (Meaning have amazing encounters like the one Steffany described). Had to share that testimony, He is so good 🙌🙌🙌

She is sadly deceived. Cute tactic bringing their ‘bibles’ as a ‘holy’ prop and never reading them. They’re simply talking about themselves.

I got to play piano for Steffany during a bethel youth retreat in Chico California. Never in my life did I play with someone who made me feel I could be fully ME and let God flow through my music as a worshipper than she did. Precious memories. This was before she started leading for Bethel. Bless you Steffany and your precious family! Jesus is so WORTHY!❤
Coming from a Baptist background, I don’t know any of these people or names mentioned. However, the authenticity and authority with which they speak drew me in because they radiate the Holy Spirit. Great conversation. I’ve been grieved about modern worship for over 15 years now and couldn’t put my finger on it. God is drawing us from all denominations to operate as one body that is set apart and led by ONE head, Christ. Beautiful to see.

Thank you for your response. I have a friend who is baptist who was taught that the worship music she (the guest here, Steffany) sings is a sin. And it’s that same music that has ushered me in to the know Jesus more freely. 🙏

seriously. denomination aside, I gave my life back 2 years ago unaware of any sort of denomination but it was like I was flying and running with Jesus. He was taking me DEEP into his presence and spirit and I had no education or back knowledge of it to give it language or even say this is “charismatic” but honestly I can care less. The Lord graced me with the intensity of who He is to just sit in His presence and BAWL at his feet. My heart breaks for religious people and denominations that bat eyes and fold their arms in offense at seeing and hearing the beautiful expression to JESUS! David says he will get more undignified than this!! It’s not about us or what we look like but get out of your head and urself y’all! Give him what he deserves and Go there with him! When we try to rationalize Jesus and his works into the human experience we completely miss him because he is fully human but fully God and there is nothing humanly normal about Jesus! His resurrection, life, death everything! There is no one like Him

@@1saamor897That’s why you don’t put your faith and trust in mega churches or any church. Yes be in the body but keep your eyes on Jesus every time. His spirit will convict you of your filth and in his presence He will sanctify you and purify you. It’s a win win full circle of “Jesus you’re making me more like you and taking me to deeper higher depths to experience even more of YOU!” When you realize that because of your own sin & convictions you’re held back from Him it should make you want to drop everything every single time. Full obedience & full surrender! Eyes on Jesus, only Jesus 🙌
Steffany for me is the most annointed, most humble worship leader I came across here in YT.
Honestly had no idea who this was, but this is one of the most anointed interviews I’ve ever seen. Don’t even know how it got on my algorithm. Thank you.

"Consistency is the key to intimacy." My Dad said that. I love that she said "Intimacy and the Fear of the Lord." That's so needed.
Her point about Lucifer being a worship leader, that what he did, we can’t do arrogant. So good!

The spiritual maturity in this interview blows my mind. Such a breathe of fresh air.
Stephanie your earlie vulnerable songs about your vulnerability about where you are and where God meets you there is worship! These songs have led me out of darkness. Be real. Please don't get " religious" on us, stay real in your holiness in the Kingdom. Emotions and our brokenness are real and necessary places in growing closer to Jesus.

She’s not negating that. She even said that those are really important songs. What she is saying is that it’s not wise to have worship with those songs with a congregation. Also, a lot of new “worship” songs (I’d categorize them as Christian and not worship - as to keep them separate) are exactly as you write. But worship songs are supposed to worship God and give Him praise. Not one’s personal story. Which is why she said the best thing for a worship leader to do is get out of the way - their pride, and arrogance and just worship God. Using the Bible and go back to the Bible when writing worship songs. That’s why there is all this stuff coming out about some writers for Bethel, Hillsong, etc.

@@dyanimoriah Sister in Christ ❤❤❤, just wondering though, what about the Book of Psalms? David writes a lot about life challenges and his struggles but of course he chooses to praise God through it all. Is this book not considered true worship because he mentions himself? Also, the Bible says we defeat the devil by the Blood of the Lamb & the Word of our Testimony. Our personal testimonies are so important, they glorify God! If someone writes a song about a personal struggle and overcoming it through Christ, I don't understand how we can say that is not worship? Perhaps we shouldn't lead a congregation with a personal song of victory but to say it's not true worship sounds a little extreme? 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ The person who wrote it could have done it with a pure heart. just trying to understand 😅
Man she makes me love Jesus even more 😩 I love the lord
I always feel so encouraged and inspired everytime I hear anything from Steffany. Her heart for Jesus makes me want to seek Him more deeply and intimately. The world needs more Steffany's that aren't afraid to share Jesus in all His glory. The world has made it more about us than Jesus and we need to go back.
Worship the Lord, not your gift. I love this woman. 🔥🔥🔥
Did I cry through this whole video? Yes. Was it exactly what I needed to hear? Yes. Thank you both for being obedient to the Lord, and thank you, Steffany, for being open and real and truthful! The fact that I'm watching this on Saturday night before I lead worship in the morning is not a coincidence! God knew I needed this message, at this time. Thank you!

“not all songs are meant to be heard…what do You want Your people to sing to You?” as someone who loves writing songs for the Lord, there have been SO MANY moments where I wanted to turn everything into a song. I totally understand what steffany meant when she said this very thing loses the sacred nature of intimacy… I experienced the grief of it myself. as a songwriter, I also dream of having a platform someday. but when I heard that so many worship leaders don't even truly know the One they're singing to… that breaks my heart. but I have been so blessed and inspired by steffany, especially in the music aspect. just to see her heart in the right place and how she longs to remain in Jesus blesses me and reminds me of the Why. I looove this episode. so much humility and love for the Lord that could only be received in the secret place, in His Presence. God bless you both🤍✝️
I am glad I listened to this. I am 64 years old, and I have been blessed with by God with the privilege to sing for Him and serve at His altar. I have wondered in and out of that beautiful place of intimacy many times, but he has always welcome me back to that sweet place. The concepts concerning worship through music are something to which I can relate. He is teaching me to let go of the differences in theologies, and trappings of styles and ways of “showing off” for other people, and come simply to Him and sing my love to Him, whether I am “leading” a group of people, or singing to Him all alone. He has allowed me to sing to Him since I was very very young, and my hope is that He will allow me to continue this beautiful experience, even after my body is done, and my spirit rests in Him. Thanks for this talk. Sorry I misjudged you.
Thank you for this, I could have watched it for 5 more hours lol 💞🙌. I listened to Jeremy Riddle's album Beautiful Jesus on repeat after I'd just found out my father committed suicide, that my young brother who was just a boy had found him, and that I was about to inherit him to raise on my own. The lyrics in the songs on that album helped me keep the eyes of my heart fixed on Jesus during the darkest part of that time, and I'll forever be grateful for that.
To have an angel of the LORD experience above the circle of the earth is wonderful! I have had 2 and I will cherish those moments. THE HOLY SPIRIT I LOVE ❤ THANK YOU FOR HOSTING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE AND CHILDLIKE FAITH LOVE AND BLESSINGS IN THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AMEN

She’s very easy to listen to. She’s refreshing.
Steffany - thank you for being REAL. Bless you for speaking TRUTH in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Worship belongs to Him and must be centered, focused on Him. Always. It is so refreshing to listen to you, an end-time leader, who does not compromise. This generation must hear what it means to be set apart in holiness before the Lord. It's crucial.
This was the most beautiful interview. Both your hearts are amazing I am moved by your deep love for Jesus. I felt the Lord say to me, see it is ok that I am your entire life. Really amazing
Jeremy riddles songs live in the prayer room has me balling crying all the time! You can tell the difference for sure 😭😭😭
55:00 About the entitlement vs. humility thing, Jesus Culture visited Finland in 2015 and it really struck me how they were just the worship team for the meeting. No pomp, no circumstance, not even anything like "Hello Helsinki, we're Jesus Culture!..." ... they didn't even introduce themselves, they simply did the work of a worship team. Wonderful humility!
Thank you for allowing the Lord to flow through you both. All of you Jesus ❤ Holy Spirit you are overflowing and its so good!

There is so much here that confirms what I have been sensing concerning worship. Thank you for this.
This episode was stunning. What beautiful revelation, I thank you God for revealing it to us.
