Leaders Who Create Healthy Rhythms: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with Rory Noland to talk about something every leader needs but few of us do well, creating healthy rhythms. After decades of serving artists and worship leaders, Rory has learned that longevity isn't about talent. It's about building a life that can actually sustain the calling God has given you. We talk about why so many creatives struggle to rest, how to recognize burnout before it takes over, and what separates leaders who fade out from those who continue creating with joy for decades. Rory also shares one simple rhythm he believes every creative leader should build into their life. If you've been running on empty or just want to lead from a healthier place, I think this conversation will encourage you.

Christian Podcast | Heart of the Artist I was the ripe old age of 22, settled into a graduate school outside of Chicago, and attempting to adjust to the north again after a marvelous year working in Key Biscayne, Florida. My father had died the previous year from sorosis of the liver, leaving me a bit lonely, while at the same time feeling quite adult. I was on my career path into church ministry, already quite settled into my theology of choice, yet eager to learn, and get my walking papers to be a legitimate clergyman. Attending a singles group in the city, I ran into an all-too-cute girl who wouldn’t quit talking about her church in the suburbs. Actually, everyone seemed to be talking about that church, so I allowed myself to be dragged along one Sunday, more interested in the girl than I was in the church. I knew things were going to be different since the lobby was packed in the theater hosting this new fangled trendy church, awaiting the previous service to let out. It is hard to imagine nowadays, but back then churches were mostly known for their pipe organs, choirs, and liturgy. The site of a band set up on the stage was different. But then, four female vocalists with microphones and smiles started to sing in harmony, quite well by the way. And then it happened. I saw the drummer lift slowly from his seat at the drum kit as the singers paused. With no shame or apology, and all the strength the young man had, he came down on the snare and the beat was on. Welcome to the modern church. If I had to compare those three years in the seminary with the impact of that one church on my thinking, I’m not sure which was greater. I do know this, I will forever be grateful. Why do we do what we do in church? How much of it is because of outdated traditions, and how much of it is led by God’s instructions in the Bible? Today we have a special guest who has spent his life asking such questions, picking the songs, rehearsing the bands, and leading the worship. Today he continues to serve the church as the director of Heart of the Artist Ministries. Let’s meet him. Welcome, Rory Noland, to Church Hurts And. https://www.churchhurtsand.org http://www.heartoftheartist.org
