Introduction: The Divine Perspective [001]

All humans yearn for meaning and purpose in our lives, but discovering this at its most profound expression is impossible without Divine Perspective.

On these pages, I am documenting the journey of discovering The Divine Perspective as an ongoing series of writings that envision worship as a way of being.

For individuals, worship practices can profoundly affect the human mindset, emotional state, and even neurological function. Culturally, the focus and ultimate purpose of one's worship could be the most crucial issue of the 21st century.

ABOUT ROB STILL

My name is Rob Still, I have a doctorate in worship studies where my academic interests embrace the intersection of worship across the areas of theology, missiology, doxology, psychology, and neuroscience. My career as a creative professional in music, studio production, songwriting, and worship leadership shapes my writing perspective. I also bring over 20 years of practical experience serving on four different church staffs as a worship pastor; and extensive experience as a missionary teaching cross-culturally in over 25 nations on worship. In these articles I will be drawing on a combination of my on-going research, scholarship, and personal experience.

HOW TO USE THIS SITE

The long-term purpose of this site is to create an educational resource that is honest, beneficial, and glorifies God.
