Pastor Jeff Hall - Community Faith Church I can not only vouch for Josh and his ministry, I wholeheartedly endorse the work that the Lord has called and gifted him to serve in. Josh is one of the few people I can completely trust with my family, possessions, and ministry. He’s served faithfully spending hours, days, and weeks at a time researching, learning, and implementing. He has always pursued being on the cutting edge of making a worship experience extraordinary no matter the space, budget, or personnel restrictions. His creativity, passion, humility, leadership, and willingness to look outside the norms have made him a tremendous asset. It is beyond time for Josh to share his wealth of knowledge, spiritual insights, and hands-on practicality with the rest of the Body of Christ. I recommend having Josh come serve your ministry with a worship seminar, leading for a special event, consulting with your team, even filling your pulpit. He will help you! He is a submitted local church man and will be respectful, helpful, and anointed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/1615816579182-MBP2SDLG1CHJ7SNHEDNQ/2.jpg HOW I SERVE - Pastor Terry Linscott - Abundant Life Church I want to share that Josh has truly ignited a deeper passion for leading people at ALC. Our ministry has some powerful worship and some very anointed individuals who love God and want to honor Him in their gift. As the lead Pastor, I was noticing a struggle in our worship and as I was in prayer the Lord put Josh on my heart to bring him in and that the anointing on his life would unlock a room for our team as well as our church that we have never been in. Josh is a humble minister of the gospel and definitely anointed to teach and lead people. Since Josh was here our worship services have increased in the anointing simply because he taught our team to lead people and not songs. The anointing and confidence instilled in each of our team members have drastically increased. Just 3 weeks from him being here we have had 3 different individuals step up and lead our congregation into the presence of the Lord. I would highly recommend that you would have Josh come and help your people go to a deeper place. The key for me and our team is that we are called to lead people and not just a song. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/1615816662283-S3DNIMIG6DQNT7324N2H/3.jpg HOW I SERVE - Pastor Brian Scott, Victory Christian Centre Victory Christian Centre was blessed to have the ministry of Josh Smith this past weekend. We asked Josh to conduct 3 services for us, including a workshop on Saturday afternoon for our Worship team. The workshop/seminar was absolutely outstanding. Josh reached into each member’s heart to share their commitment, their worship calling, and their goals for this new year. It was a profound time of sincerity, reflection, and sharing of true feelings—it brought our team much closer together with a fresh anointing and deeper commitment. Josh led an awesome night of Worship for our church family on Saturday night, such a powerful and sweet anointing filled the auditorium and each church member’s heart. It was tremendously refreshing and encouraging. And Sunday morning’s service was powerful—Josh led our Worship with our team flowing in agreement and unison. And I had Josh preach the morning message ‘7 Keys to Becoming a Worshipper’. It was an “Anointed Word in Due Season!” As Pastor, I was greatly blessed by Josh’s wisdom and knowledge of all aspects of Praise & Worship but more importantly, I was sincerely impressed with Josh’s sensitivity to the Holy Spirit’s leading – he sensed the Spirit changing his message and song list which perfectly reflected my desires for the weekend. Josh hit a grand slam! We’re looking forward to a further weekend within a few months! We highly recommend Josh’s ministry; your church and worship team will be greatly blessed! https://www.startleadingpeople.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-04-07 https://www.startleadingpeople.com/music daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/96b9a3fc-a54d-46ec-be55-f784bce55957/0F7A08162.jpeg Music https://www.startleadingpeople.com/chords daily 0.75 2025-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/eae47e5c-7f62-44db-963d-3eeae19aa631/Copy+of+Copy+of+EMAIL+STOP+LEADING+SONGS+%281%29.png Chords https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/3cb634a4-f30c-46a4-9959-7e99261c000e/Untitled+design+%2822%29.png Chords WHOLE ROOM MADE TO WORSHIP https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/cfebe4ef-3092-49f3-9174-a53038c9facc/Copy+of+smith+%26+rouse+logos+%2813%29.png Chords ADORE AGAIN AND AGAIN AIN’T NO WAY ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AS WE PRAISE BOUNTY FEARLESS FIRE BAPTIZED FREE & BORN AGAIN HOW COULD I NOT PRAISE YOU JESUS JESUS LIVING IN YOUR PRESENCE SAVIOR’S MELODY TAKE IT ALL TAKES ME RIGHT BACK THIS SEASON WILL CHANGE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc06111e6229c77b6559edf/1615235787709-LHRFOSI9TPP87I3ZFZ3Y/JS+KR+reprint+front.jpg Chords 1.
