"Worshiping Without Getting Zapped," is the name of this podcast message.  It comes from the idea that we MUST be conscience that we, as believers, are called to worship God in the right way.  Sometimes we give the Lord our leftovers and when Sunday finally rolls around, we are more interested in what will receive from the service than what we give to the Lord.  Mark gives us some pointers on how to come into the House of God each week expecting to enter fully into His presence.  This is a message that spoke to many Thrivers, and we hope that it speaks to you!
