In this episode of Three Questions, Katie Polski shares the unexpected path that led her into church music ministry—from hiding her piano skills as a student athlete, to rediscovering music years later when her husband planted a church in St. Louis. Now serving as music director and special events coordinator at Trinity Church, she reflects on what it means to lead “Christ-centered and hospitable worship,” how music—including songs of lament—can meet people in real-life struggles, and how congregations can better support the artists and musicians in their midst. Katie also offers thoughtful encouragement to churches about recognizing creative gifts, hiring worship leaders with theological depth, and honoring the often unseen ministry work of pastors’ wives.
