“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.” – Psalm 23

As we step into 2025, Overflow Worship invites you to pause, breathe, and reflect on the goodness of God. In the latest episode of the Overflow Worship Podcast, Andrea Olson shares insights from her journey over the past year, offering encouragement for worship leaders and ministry volunteers navigating their own seasons of growth and challenge.

Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Creativity and Connection

Last year brought significant changes for Overflow Worship, culminating in the launch of The Church, a lighthearted YouTube series exploring the joys and chaos of church ministry. The response was overwhelming—tens of thousands of viewers resonated with its humor and relatability. Andrea shares:

“We wanted people to feel seen and heard, to walk away with joy. You told us that’s exactly what you felt, and we’re so grateful.”

The success of The Church wasn’t just about entertainment; it offered a much-needed reprieve for those juggling the demands of ministry. With new episodes and initiatives planned for 2025, Andrea promises more moments of laughter and connection.

A Heart for Community

The episode highlights a sobering statistic: only 9% of pastors feel they have a supportive community. This loneliness, compounded by mental health struggles, often leaves ministry leaders feeling isolated. Andrea passionately reminds listeners:

“You shouldn’t have to walk through this alone. God designed us for community.”

Overflow Worship is committed to being that community, providing resources, encouragement, and prayer for worship leaders. Whether it’s building setlists or navigating personal challenges, Andrea emphasizes the importance of reaching out:

“If you need support, we’re here for you. And if professional counseling is needed, take that step—it’s a sign of strength, not weakness.”

Moving Forward: Worship, Prayer, and Joy

Overflow Worship’s mission remains clear: to serve and uplift worship leaders worldwide. The ministry will continue its focus on three core pillars—worship, prayer, and spreading joy:

“In ministry, we all need joy. We need laughter. That’s why we created The Church—to remind us that even in the chaos, there’s beauty.”

To expand its reach, Overflow Worship is growing its YouTube channel and encouraging listeners to share content with others. Every share helps build a global community of worshipers passionate about leaving the Church better than they found it.

An Invitation to Rest

As 2025 begins, Andrea encourages leaders to pause amid the busyness:

“Set aside the goal setting for a moment. Let Him lead you beside still waters and restore your soul.”

Whether through a quiet moment with Psalm 23 or a conversation with a trusted friend, the invitation is clear: prioritize rest and embrace the community God has placed around you.
