“A standout thought to me from Grant’s teaching was the need for our musicians to make ‘small musical sacrifices’ to prioritise the ‘higher joy’ of seeing our people more fully engaged in worship.”
“Grant’s passion for worship, skill as a musician, and gift for teaching beautifully combine in a clear and engaging manner that brings a richer understanding of what worship is.”

“Grant challenged our church in such a way that neither discouraged nor coddled, but rather in an uplifting ‘Come on, let’s do better together!’ manner that really uplifted us.”
“If you want to grow your musicians and singers, Grant can really help. He does not dictate, but instead works to come along side and partner with people in the local church. I appreciated his content, his approach, his authenticity, and his humility.”
“Grant taught our team to leave a gap in our sound that invites the ‘voice’ of the congregation, and boy, do they fill it!”
“Grant’s an excellent communicator. I found his advice very helpful and have noticed improvements during our worship leading since applying his recommendations.”
“Having Grant come to our church to give a workshop gave the benefits of taking our entire team to a big conference! Everyone was immediately on board.”
“We really enjoyed having Grant from More Than Music Mentor with us and would love to have him back again.”
“Grant’s ability to communicate the stories of Compassion’s children and our theological mandate to serve the poor has resulted in thousands of children and sponsors being connected. Compassion International is grateful for the ministry of Grant Norsworthy.”
“He is very funny and did not hold back his passionate challenging conviction that our students be engaged in Compassion’s necessary work. Grant’s time at the College was a real joy.”
“Grant Norsworthy is an incredible communicator who has a unique ability to combine excellent speaking with heart-felt music. These abilities – coupled with his powerful, solid theology – make him a valuable addition for any event. I also appreciate his candor, compassion for God’s Word and his heart for ‘the least of these’.”
“I have been to countless concerts and heard the Compassion stories and was always afraid to actually sponsor. But something about Grant’s leadership last night generated a different atmosphere for me. Fear and hesitation were gone!”
“Grant engages the whole church community using a skilful blend of music and speaking. Through his concise and Bible-based presentations, we are more able to see God’s heart for the poor.”
“Having Grant speak about and promote Compassion International was an easy decision for us. Everything we do is driven by the Great Commandment (Love God and Love others) and the Great Commission (make disciples of the nations). Compassion provides a platform for us to do both.”
“Grant is a great advocate and partner with Compassion. A true heart for our mission. Extremely professional. Great with the volunteers. And his Compassion presentation is top notch.”
