Worship in the In-Between: Matt Crocker on Seasons of Waiting, Songwriting, and Staying Faithful

What do you do when you’re between the mountaintops—no longer where you were, but not yet where you're going?

In this honest and hope-filled devotional, Hillsong’s Matt Crocker shares the story behind Interlude, his first solo album and a spiritual offering born in a season of uncertainty. Known for writing worship anthems like Oceans and I Surrender, Matt opens up about rediscovering worship as a personal, daily practice—not just a platform performance.

Drawing from Scripture and his own journey through creative burnout, Matt invites us into the “interlude moments” of life, where pressing into God becomes the only roadmap forward.

You’ll walk away with:

• Encouragement to trust God in seasons of waiting

• A reminder that worship is obedience, not outcome

• Insights on songwriting as spiritual formation

• Permission to bring your real self—flaws and all—before the Lord

• A renewed sense of purpose beyond Sunday sets

Whether you’re leading thousands or simply leading your family, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that God meets us in the middle, not just the mountaintop.
