Leaving Home, Finding Purpose with Jordan Lavagnino

In this episode of Worship, Bass, Coffee, Jay sits down with his friend and guitarist Jordan Lavagnino to talk through his journey from growing up in a church plant in California to touring as a professional musician and eventually transitioning into full-time videography in Nashville. Jordan shares how early exposure to worship music and instruments shaped his love for guitar, his experience building a touring career (including playing alongside artists and working behind the scenes with major acts), and the lessons he learned about preparation, adaptability, and musicianship at a high level. The conversation dives into the realities of life on the road, the importance of being “bulletproof” with gear and preparation, and how those experiences now translate into serving on a worship team each week. Jordan also reflects on the balance between excellence and humility, the role of dynamics and listening in a band setting, and how ultimately, no matter the preparation, God can move beyond anything the team brings musically—so grab a cup of your favorite coffee and enjoy the conversation.
