Making Memories with God through Worship
By Josh Langer on 9 Oct 2019
Did you know that your nose remembers things? Our sense of smell is closely linked with memory, probably more so than any of our other senses. The smell of freshly cut grass, for example, always brings back memories of my childhood and my endeavor to become a professional soccer player.

The Power of Corporate Worship
By Josh Langer on 11 Sep 2019
Have you ever noticed worship songs, at least the good ones, use superlatives within the lyrics like "all nations," or "You're the supreme God," or "most beautiful." It's the kind of language we usually don't use in our everyday conversations? [video 3:12]

By Jenna Dorey on 8 Dec 2017
After my DTS I asked God, "What's next?"
His response, "Go and do a School of Worship."

Discovering Your Call and Destiny
By Tyler Tom on 3 Nov 2017
Growing up, I loved worship and music. In the ninth grade, I bought a guitar so that I could create my own sound, my own worship for God, and not just sing along with someone’s CD. Although I tried (unsuccessfully) to lead worship a couple times my senior year, I didn’t really have any aspirations to be the next Chris Tomlin or Hillsong United. However during my DTS, God spoke clearly to me through my school leader that He was calling me to be a worship leader, which set me on a journey that would change my life.

The YWAM School of Worship was one of the best decisions I've ever made
By Tyler Tom on 1 Sep 2017
The School of Worship has been a blessing in my life. It has been full of moments where I laughed too much, moments where I wanted to go home, and moments that stretched me to become more than what I was. As my SOW comes to a close, I get an awesome opportunity to reflect on what I’ve learned.
