Reviving Worship: Anthony Evans on Authenticity and Mental Health

In this episode of Worship Fuel, host Matt McCoy interviews Anthony Evans, a gospel worship artist, producer, and songwriter. Evans shares his journey in the worship music industry, from his early days touring with Kirk Franklin to finding his calling as a worship leader.

Evans discusses his new worship album “Revive.” The album features both original songs and covers that have helped him through difficult times, with a focus on the power of God’s word to revive the heart. He highlights the single “828,” based on Romans 8:28, which reminds listeners that all things work together for good.

The conversation delves into the importance of mental health for worship leaders and pastors. Evans emphasizes the need for those in ministry to seek help when struggling, likening it to getting tutoring to better understand and apply biblical truths. He advises worship leaders to be genuine to their calling, avoid burnout by setting boundaries, and find ways to keep their relationship with God fresh and inspired.

Evans also touches on his production company, Sherman James Productions, which encompasses live events, vocal production, and music for films. He shares how setbacks in his career opened doors to new opportunities, such as producing music for Hollywood projects.

Throughout the interview, Evans stresses the significance of staying true to one’s authentic self and trusting in God’s intentional plan, even when faced with disappointments or unexpected paths. He encourages worship leaders to focus on their love for God, both on and off stage, and to view challenges as opportunities for growth and development.
