Ugandan singer Karole Kasita has sparked a thoughtful debate among believers after questioning why worship in many churches involves intense shouting and screaming.
During a recent interview, the Balance hitmaker opened up about her personal relationship with God and how she was taught to pray growing up. According to her, communicating with God should be a calm and intimate experience—not a chaotic one.
????️ “You Don’t Shout at Your Dad”
Karole said she was raised to believe that God is like a loving father, and thus, there’s no need to scream when talking to Him.
“What I was taught growing up, in the schools I went to, was that God is your father,” she said.
“They always told me—when you’re talking to God, imagine you’re talking to Daddy. You don’t shout at your Dad.”
Her comments come in response to her personal observations in various church services, where high-volume worship and prayer have become the norm.
???? “God Doesn’t Need Volume to Hear You”
Kasita added that she believes shouting doesn’t make prayers more effective, nor does it help God hear them any better.
“If God is everything to you—your provider, protector, father—then shouting is unnecessary,” she said.
“He hears you just fine when you speak from your heart.”
???? A Call for Reflective Worship
While her views might challenge traditional Pentecostal or charismatic styles of worship, Karole’s message encourages believers to rethink the way they approach prayer and to focus more on intention than intensity.
Her statement has drawn mixed reactions online—some fans agree with her sentiment, while others believe expressive worship is a form of spiritual release and connection.
???? What Do You Think?
- Do you believe shouting in church is necessary to connect with God?
- Should prayer be more personal and calm, as Karole suggests?
