{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Noel Richards - Confessions of a Worship Leader","slug":"NoelRichardsConfessions","podcastDescription":"Noel has been a worship leader and songwriter for many years. He and his wife Tricia have written many modern worship hymns and songs, such as ”All Heaven Declares” and ”You Laid Aside Your Majesty”. In these podcasts, he talks about his own spiritual journey and his perspective on the Christian culture. Through honesty and humour he shares his beliefs, and questions; maybe in the process killing some of our religious sacred cows.","podcastLogo":"https://deow9bq0xqvbj.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14177342/1_copya81as.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14177342/1_copya81as_1200x628.jpg?s=e2c3842fdd34e12ea3d14325af5209da&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://NoelRichardsConfessions.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/NoelRichardsConfessions/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2FNoelRichardsConfessions.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog14177342%26podcastIdTag%3Dz4yst&dfl=https%3A%2F%2FNoelRichardsConfessions.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":33,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+01:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":1,"text":"(GMT+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":24,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Noel Richards","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-z4yst-d8543e-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/confessions-of-a-worship-leader/id1621714396","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Google Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL05vZWxSaWNoYXJkc0NvbmZlc3Npb25zL2ZlZWQueG1s?sa=X&ved=0CBoQ27cFahcKEwiY6caGudn3AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/google-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2FNoelRichardsConfessions.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog14177342%26podcastIdTag%3Dz4yst&dfl=https%3A%2F%2FNoelRichardsConfessions.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7K98X7XFM2udDtBS8eVSWK","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/125b12f1-b4a7-4ef7-8a93-be55717267a7","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Religion--Spirituality-Podcas/Confessions-of-a-Worship-Leader-p1672696/","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/96235201","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3389896","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://lnns.co/A0kL4fzrc3S","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Samsung","link":null,"image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/Samsung.png","title":"The podcast is available on Samsung Podcast app."},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/confessions-of-a-worship-leade-4296553","image":"https://d8g345wuhgd7e.cloudfront.net/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Noel Richards

In a musical career spanning almost 50 years, Noel has performed in 39 countries and played in every kind of venue - street corners, bars, concert halls, churches, cathedrals and stadiums.

Since the late 1970s, Noel has been involved in the worldwide contemporary Christian worship movement and with his wife Tricia and others, has written many modern hymns and songs. Perhaps the best known of these is \"All Heaven Declares\".

He has recorded 14 albums and also appeared on numerous \"live\" event/compilation albums. The most successful of these is Sparrow records \"I could sing of your love forever\" on which Noel is featured singing a live version of \"We want to see Jesus lifted high\". This album has sold in excess of 500,000 units.

In 1997, Noel & Tricia Richards were key members of the team that organised the 'Champion of the World' event at London's Wembley Stadium, with an attendance of almost 45,000, making it the biggest contemporary Christian music event ever staged in that venue.

He has since been the driving force behind a worship event at the Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany in 2006; and has supported friends in Hungary as they work towards a stadium worship event at the brand new Puskas Arena in Budapest on 23rd July 2022.

Since 2010, Noel & Tricia have lived on the island of Mallorca, Spain, where they live in Palma, the capital city.

They continue to write, record and perform together and their latest CD – Quiet My Soul – was released in September 2017.

As the modern worship movement has developed, is there a danger that we have become too performance orientated? These days are we focussing more on entertaining the congregation, with our technology, skills and musical ability, rather than the presence of God?
