29. Men, You Belong in Worship Too

In this thought-provoking episode, Ali McFarlane is joined by Louise Reid to ask a bold question: Where are the men in worship? Together, they explore why modern church worship has become so female-led, how cultural and emotional barriers have silenced men in worship, and what it looks like to recover the masculine expression of praise.

From King David’s undignified worship to today’s emotionally disconnected men, Ali and Louise dive into biblical models, cultural pressures, and practical tips to invite men back into full-bodied, Spirit-led worship. Whether you’re a worship leader, pastor, or part of the congregation, this episode will equip you to shepherd both men and women into deeper encounter.

They cover:

• How to recognize and confront the emotional shutdown in men

• Why worship must include masculine strength and vulnerability

• Practical ways worship leaders can call men into expression without pressure

• Restoring the sound of men singing together in church
