JOHN MARC KOHL: Worship, Songwriting and Perfectionism

John Marc Kohl is a worship leader, and a singer/songwriter dedicated to glorifying God through creativity. From being on staff at a few churches, to supporting other artists and ministries, John Marc has always loved to lead others to connect with Jesus through worship. As a result of releasing music in different genres, he also realizes the need for worship music to be as creative and as beautiful as Jesus is. In this episode, there are interesting conversations about uncovering some of the deepest spiritual experiences that both Johns (Marc and Chisum) have had, how to stay fresh and creative despite the demands of life, and also about the demon of perfectionism and the only thing that can cure it to set you up for your most creative season ever, so you don't wanna miss that discussion. John Marc also performs an incredible acoustic version of his title, ‘Still’ at the end of the episode. Stay tuned for that!
