“Awesome… This dude is like the worship whisperer!”
“Definitely would like another session! In the few hours, I have gained so much insight.”
“We’ve noticed huge changes in unity and direction since having some of Grant’s More Than Music Mentor training. The small tweaks he made to the way we were doing things has made a distinct difference in the way the congregation is responding to sung worship.”
“Grant helped our team want to come together for the purpose of leading God’s people, rather than a bunch of soloists or loud musicians. We rehearsed Sunday very differently and it was a special time knowing everyone was part of a team preferring one another. Wow, what a difference!”
“A standout thought to me from Grant’s teaching was the need for our musicians to make ‘small musical sacrifices’ to prioritise the ‘higher joy’ of seeing our people more fully engaged in worship.”
“The vitality and life that Grant Norsworthy teaches in his workshop is over the top! I have wondered for about 10 years why we had not found a leader like Grant to teach our lay leaders these important things.”
“I love what Grant’s doing with More Than Music Mentor. His passion and desire to affect culture is amazing!”
“It was amazing! In over 30 years of running sound desks, I can’t remember such a high level of engagement from the congregation – worshipping God at the top of their lungs. I had to increase the volume from the PA to be heard above them!”
“Every worship team can benefit from Grant’s workshop. I truly believe that he brings people back to the heart and essence of what worship should be in the church. Sure, every church is different. However, his concepts and methodology bring a healthy unity to the whole team and the congregation.”
“Since the workshop, positive feedback has been flooding in about the music and how much more engaged people feel.”
“Grant was able to pinpoint specific areas where each of our team members could improve. Some found this direct approach to be quite challenging, but – after taking his advice on board – those were the ones who made the biggest improvement and valued the time with Grant the most.”
“He is very funny and did not hold back his passionate challenging conviction that our students be engaged in Compassion’s necessary work. Grant’s time at the College was a real joy.”
“Having Grant speak about and promote Compassion International was an easy decision for us. Everything we do is driven by the Great Commandment (Love God and Love others) and the Great Commission (make disciples of the nations). Compassion provides a platform for us to do both.”
“I have been to countless concerts and heard the Compassion stories and was always afraid to actually sponsor. But something about Grant’s leadership last night generated a different atmosphere for me. Fear and hesitation were gone!”
“Grant Norsworthy is an incredible communicator who has a unique ability to combine excellent speaking with heart-felt music. These abilities – coupled with his powerful, solid theology – make him a valuable addition for any event. I also appreciate his candor, compassion for God’s Word and his heart for ‘the least of these’.”
“Grant engages the whole church community using a skilful blend of music and speaking. Through his concise and Bible-based presentations, we are more able to see God’s heart for the poor.”
“Grant’s ability to communicate the stories of Compassion’s children and our theological mandate to serve the poor has resulted in thousands of children and sponsors being connected. Compassion International is grateful for the ministry of Grant Norsworthy.”
“Grant is a great advocate and partner with Compassion. A true heart for our mission. Extremely professional. Great with the volunteers. And his Compassion presentation is top notch.”
