Monday Morning Worship Leader
This is the weekly podcast for the worship leader. Hosted by John Francis, PhD, The MMWL discusses a concept: either spiritual, practical, or otherwise and ”a Good Word” at the end. ”A Good Word” focuses on a great book or timeless hymn. This podcast is presented from a free-worship perspective (Southern Baptist), but all are welcome to join in on the conversation.

Virtual Church? Is this a thing?
We welcome new listeners from Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Ghana.
The Good Read is this prayer from Saint Patrick:
"I bind myself today:
to the power of God to guide me; to the might of God to uphold me; to the wisdom of God to teach me. The eye of God to watch over me; the ear of God to hear me; the Word of God to speak to me; the way of God to lie before me; the host of God to defend me. Amen"
