What if the future of worship isn’t more lights, tighter transitions, or bigger stages—but fewer distractions and deeper presence?
This week on The Sowers Podcast, we’re joined by Bobby Lane, worship pastor and founder of Backyard Worship. Bobby shares how a simple longing for honest, unproduced worship sparked gatherings that began in living rooms and backyards—and eventually grew into packed barn worship nights filled with students who simply want to encounter Jesus.
One of the most compelling moments of the conversation comes as Bobby reflects on the temptation leaders feel to “upgrade” worship into something more impressive—and how the Lord continually redirects him back to simplicity.
“If I hit a bad note, everyone hears it—and we just keep worshiping.”
Bobby also opens up about how the death of his mother profoundly shaped his faith, moving it from something inherited to something deeply embodied. The result is a vision of worship that is courageous, stripped-back, and centered on Jesus alone.
