We are so excited to Spotlight Kaitlin Mattox next Wednesday at 11am Central in the Coffeehouse!! Here is just a little about Kaitlin so you can be thinking of what more to ask her in our Live session:

1) Name: _______Kaitlin Mattox________________________________

2) Nickname:_Kait-but not by very many people in my adulthood…though it feels cozy. __________________________________

3) Favorite Bible Verse: ____Psalm 16:8 “I have set the Lord always before me; with Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken,” coupled with 1 Cor 15:10 “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.” _________________________________

4) How did you connect with Streams? ___My awesome boss, Jon Tyner, introduced me to Dwayne and Next Level Worship about 5 years ago. On one of our trips to Africa with NLWI, Dwayne began to tell us about this dream of continuing community through an online platform. STREAMS IS SO GREAT! Can’t wait for more people to jump in…preferably cannon ball style! LOL_____________________________

5) What’s your go-to karaoke song? ____So many…but the last decade has been full of Disney at our house…so probably some adventurous princess ballad…”I am MOANA.”_______________________________

6) What do you believe about worship? __It’s the most precious and miraculous gift . That the King and creator of EVERYTHING would love me (and everyone) so much that He lets us sing and clap and smile and live with every breath for His glory. AND HE ACTUALLY LISTENS! Woah.

7) How are you connected to worship within your church? _I get to be the director of Next Gen Worship at Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL.

8) If you could lead worship with any artist, who would it be? ___Toss up between Andrew Peterson and Cain. _____________________

9) Do you have a pre-show ritual? _I LOVE an apple (gala or pink lady) before a worship service or concert! Doesn’t happen often that I remember one…_________________________________________________

10) What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received about worship leading? __Prepare with excellence so the technical doesn’t interfere with the heart work that God is doing. ___________

11) What’s your favorite worship song that most people wouldn’t know? ___Disclaimer…remember Kids Min is a lot of where I live…Bethel Music Kids recorded an arrangement of Ps 34:8 called “O Taste and See” that is boppin’. ____________________________ _

12) If you could lead worship in a completely different setting (like a concert hall or a beach), where would it be and why? ____Patially covered amphitheatre (not fancy) in the mountains by a large lake.

13) Anything fun you want us to know about you? ____Occasionally my office mates take my second cup of coffee away…LOL! I love a hot drink, but caffeine can make me a little much for most people… They gave me the “no more coffee” award at our Christmas awards party two years ago! _____________
