Worship Leader Stage Presence
You might think it odd that I’m addressing stage presence in a worship leading context, but all too often I see worship leaders struggling to maintain a leading presence for their congregations. It might be a confidence issue, or they worry about getting in the way of God and “humble” themselves too much, trying to …
When Do We Worship?
Part 2 of 4 Text: Hebrews 10: 23-25 New Testament 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but …
I Want to Play More!
Originally appeared on realworldworship.org Recently, this question was put to me: “I’d like to play more at church but the worship leader seems to always be picking others over me, what can I do about this?” The truth is that this is a complex issue. I know a lot of worship leaders who really like …
Being vs. Doing
I would like to begin by asking: “How are you being?” Church leadership comes with a whole lot of jobs that appear as if they will not wait. They have to be done, and done now! There are a lot of stresses and strains that demand your focus and attention one way or the other. …

The In-Between // Transitions in Worship
As a worship leader, leading within a song is a given… But what about the in-between? Transitions are a great way to help create a seamless time of worship and reduce potential awkwardness between songs. The truth is that we practice and plan so much when it comes to our songs that we sometimes neglect …
How do We Worship in Spirit?
Part 1 of 6 Text: John 4:21-24 “How Do We Worship” seeks to take the “book education” of worship and make it very practical. Although this has been attempted in terms of application, this section uniquely attempts to apply these Biblical principles. John 4:21-24 21 Jesus declared, “Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the …

Derailing Discouragement
Discouragement does not hide its face in ministry. It is a force by which all of our best intentions can fall to the wayside. By stifling both motivation and the ability to be joyful in serving, it cripples our ability to actually serve. We often pin our own discouragement onto “tangible” causes: the leadership in …

What’s on Your Mind?
If I’m totally honest with myself, a million things can be going through my mind when I’m in front of people singing songs and praising God—thoughts like: – is the click track loud enough in the ears? – is the backing track too strong in the house? – is the way I’m standing distracting people? …
