056 The Importance of Your Physical Body in Worship (with Dr. David Taylor)
May 19, 2023 Season 4 Episode 56

What would you say to someone who just feels that in-person worship is for them? 

If we worship in spirit and truth, do our bodies even matter? Are our bodies just neutral spectators, reluctant participants in worship?

Dr. David Taylor joins us to talk about just how important our bodies are for worship, that we "get to" and "need to" worship God with our bodies.
