In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Anabeth Morgan about growing up in the South with four brothers in a 700 sq.ft. home, and how their family’s life changed when her dad suddenly felt called to ministry in the Southern Baptist church. Anabeth shares about the impact of her father’s gambling addiction on their family, striving for an “out” through sports and academic scholarships, and meeting her husband in college. This is part one of a two-part conversation, so come back next week for the rest of the story!
Anabeth Morgan is a worship leader, songwriter, and one of the staff pastors at the Arvada Vineyard in Colorado since 2011. She has been an integral part of Vineyard Worship as a leader, artist and writer, serving at Vineyard churches in Houston, Columbus, and Kansas City, and now serves as the Interim Lead for Equipping and Leadership for Vineyard Worship.
Anabeth is deeply passionate about God’s presence and loves to lean into the Spirit of God in worship and prayer. Her ability to listen to the Holy Spirit, whether leading worship or groups of people, has given God the opportunity to do wonderful things in people’s lives. She loves sharing her intimate faith in God with others, enjoys being hospitable, and is always sensitive to the people and environment around her.
Anabeth has appeared on many Vineyard albums such as Cultivation Generation, Servant Wide Awake, My Foundation, Breathe In, Sing Out, and more. In December 2017, she finished writing and recording her first studio album A Place Your Glory Dwells. Recently, she has had songs “You Meet Me Here”, “Heaven’s Work” and “King of Heaven” released through Vineyard Worship, and has published other worship songs in collaboration with other songwriters.
