What’s in Your Worship Basket? John Allan on Purity, Platform, and the Power of Praise

Where does your worship really begin—on stage, or in the secret place?

In this passionate and prophetic devotional, worship leader and songwriter John Allan challenges creatives to examine what they’re bringing before the Lord. With Scripture, story, and soul, John reminds us that worship isn’t performance—it’s a holy offering.

From Cain and Abel to modern-day ministry burnout, John unpacks the spiritual power of praise, and how what’s in our hearts ultimately shapes what’s in our hands. As a worship artist with Centricity Music, John’s perspective is grounded in both local church service and a deep reverence for God's presence.

You’ll walk away with:

• A convicting call to purity in worship and leadership

• A deeper understanding of worship as spiritual warfare

• Encouragement to lead from humility, not pride

• Reflection on identity, jealousy, and how to celebrate others

• Inspiration to return to wonder, worship, and childlike faith

Whether you’re on the platform or behind the scenes, this episode will stir your spirit and help reset your heart for true, God-centered worship.
