Facilitate Encounter
You have one job

You don’t need another song.
You need an encounter.
An encounter isn’t emotion.
It’s connection.
It’s that moment when heaven collides with your reality and nothing stays the same.
I’ve had a few of those.
Once, God whispered, “Give up the Grammy (goal).”
That one sentence re-wired my life.
Another time, I lost track of time in worship—
what felt like 15 minutes was actually 90.
Because when you step into His presence, clocks stop mattering.
Those moments branded me.
They changed my direction, my desires, my definition of success.
But here’s what hit me lately:
Everyone met Jesus. Not everyone encountered Him.
Crowds touched Him.
Only one woman connected.
One moment of connection did what years of religion couldn’t.
That’s what the world’s starving for.
Not performance.
Not perfect sets.
Encounter.
So here’s the challenge—especially to worship leaders, parents, and anyone shaping hearts:
Don’t just lead people in songs.
Lead them into encounter.
Create moments where heaven touches earth,
where identity gets rewritten,
where someone walks away saying,
“I just met Jesus.”
Because one real encounter with Love
does more than a thousand sermons ever could.
Be the one who opens the door.
The world doesn’t need more songs.
It needs more encounters.
I should end with the gentle reminder to facilitate your own encounter first.
