The Hidden Cost of Leading Worship: Omega Levine on Burnout, Faith and Finding Your Way Back

Omega Levine has led worship on stages across the world, toured with Parachute Band for seven years, and poured himself into thousands of people through music. But behind the platform, he was quietly carrying something many worship leaders never talk about.

In this honest and overdue conversation, Omega Levine joins Andrew Urquhart to open up about worship leader burnout, the pressure to keep giving when you have nothing left, and what it actually looks like for a church to minister to its ministry leaders.

If you lead worship, serve in ministry, or love someone who does, this one's for you.

Viewer discretion advised. Zac Adams (pseudonym) is a New Zealand field operative with Child Rescue, an NGO working across the Asia-Pacific to emancipate children from abduction, trafficking and sexual slavery. He shares the harrowing realities of frontline child rescue work, and what drives one man to dare to enter the dark to bring vulnerable kids into the light. The UN estimates children make up 38% of detected trafficking victims, with up to one million facing commercialised sexual exploitation. This is a confronting but critically important conversation. Not suitable for little ears.
