Equipping & Empowering Worship Leaders Worldwide
If you know me at all you know I’m a huge Hillsong fan, both Live and United, even London. Their albums, when they release, are playing through the speakers in my car on day one probably for a good month straight. When I heard about Young & Free I was super excited to see what …

As worship leaders, Monday mornings can either get your week off to a great start, or Monday mornings can get your week off to a slow start. A lot of that has to do with how our weekend services go. If we had great weekend worship services we can feel energized and excited for the …
I will say, straight away, anyone who knows me, knows I am a huuuuge Phil Wickham fan! You know what, I may also be a little biased, The fact that I had this albums preordered day one (the t-shirt package) kind of confirms that. So that being said, there are two reasons you should listen …

Can wrath be love? Why does God need satisfaction? This week, we are going to take a quick break from our 101 series to look at some of the theology behind a controversy brewing over why the song “In Christ Alone” got voted off the island and will no longer grace the pages of one …

Reading my Bible this morning was a huge smack in the face! Like many other people, and many other passages, I regularly read something for the 3rd/4th/5th time, and end up getting something completely different from it than I did the first few times I read it or heard it. 2 Samuel 24:20-25. 20-21 Araunah …
This new album by New Life Worship is a great all round album, made by a church, for the church. They have recognized that with so much contemporary christian music out there, everyone in the congregation has a different preference in style. So rather than create there own style, they have formed an album that …

I have a love hate relationship with leaf blowers. Brooms don’t even hold a candle to the ferocious windstorm a leaf blower can conjure up; but they also have a dark side.

It’s no doubt that Hillsong is one of the go-to worship teams for new music but this new album is something special. From a guy who has been on the hillsong bandwagon for years, I can happily recommend their 2013 release “Glorious Ruins” as one of their best. I’m going to break down the songs …
Brandon took a moment to get a quick update with Diane at the Agape House in Kenya: God’s done something great over there and will continue to do so! Thanks for being a part of this great outreach! In case you missed the interview with Brandon before he left check it out here. We’ll be …
The cycle of doing church every week can be grueling. Just as soon as we’re done with one week we have another coming, and another week after that. In the midst of trying to pull off a service every week your team members are living their lives. Some are on the mountaintop and others are …
