Monday Musings

The Ministry of Private Worship

Recently, I have been going through a season where I am trying to re-discover and re-connect with Jesus amidst the day to day demands of life in the ministry. Don’t get me wrong, I believe I have the greatest job in the world! I am forever grateful to God for giving me the gifts and …

Finding Time

Wake up. Coffee. Get kids ready. Go to school. Go to work. Coffee. Do work. Coffee. Get kids. Eat something. Drive kids. Do more work. Practice. Coffee. Dinner. Kids in bed. Say hello to spouse. Do more work. Slightly clean something. Go to sleep. Repeat. Your schedule may not match mine, but chances are you …

What’s Your Next Step?

God is always calling us closer to Himself, challenging us to take our next steps towards Him in all the areas of our lives. What is your next step? I want to give you some food for thought to help you submit to the process He’s walking you through to make you ready for what …

All The Wrong Reasons

When I first started in worship ministry leadership I had the gross misconception that I would have the opportunity to continually bask in the presence of Jesus, listening to and making worship music 24/7. “This is the LIFE!” I thought. I just knew that I was going to be so filled up with God that …

Heart for the House

“The eyes cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you.’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I do not need you.” 1 Corinthians 12:21 “Heart for the House.” What does that even mean? What does it look like to heave a heart for the house? It’s an idea that there is no one place …

Misplaced Value

I remember wondering (quite a few years ago) – when I noticed some churches had Jesus on the cross, and others didn’t have him on the cross – why there was a difference in the two ways the cross was displayed. I guess the subtle difference in the manner in which it was displayed kinda …

Lift Your Head Weary Sinner

We’re honored to have a great guest post from Andrea Lucado. We’re all building our own little walls. At least, they start out as little. But it doesn’t take long before they have grown tall, then a little taller and a little taller. We have to use a ladder in order to place the next …

Worship Team vs. Worship Band

Is the church platform exclusive for the select few or should it be a place to raise up people who are gifted to lead? There are many great worship bands that tour and record albums to spread the gospel, and many small churches that lead worship with very few people in their teams. Both bring …

The ALSO Idol

In the last chapter of Joshua, there is a nugget that can be uncovered in regards to what true worship is and what it is not. This chapter starts out with Joshua gathering all the tribes of Israel together to charge them to trust and serve the Lord. He begins by reminding the people of …

Avoiding Burnout

I just spent a month in Finland visiting family and friends. Yes, a month. While it was nice to have all that time off, it was much more valuable than just R&R. It was a time to be filled up to be poured out again in service without burning out. After months of work and …

Is My Worship the Same on Monday?

On Sunday my church was on fire. The message taught and the worship that accompanied it were sewn together in this perfect little quilt called Sunday Worship. People responded. As the team closed the service with a song congregants came forward worshipping, kneeling, singing out, and declaring that through it all our eyes would be …

Worship Blind Spots

For those of us who drive, we know that a blind spot is an area that cannot be seen due to an obstruction. The best way to overcome these blind spots is by acknowledging them and finding other ways to see around them. As worship leaders, we have a duty to lead effective and meaningful …

Relational Tendencies

The more I study on strengthening my faith, the more correlations I see between “worldly” situations and “faith” positioning. I even discovered a relationship between feelings and money – and how we tend to put too much stock in both…. AND in remarkably similar ways! First of all, “money” isn’t the root of all kinds …

Why Me vs. Teach Me

When situations in life fly in from nowhere and continue to pummel us, it can become very easy for us to clench our tiny fists, shake them at the sky, and say, “Why me, Lord?!?” Maybe instead of throwing our fists of rage at the sky and shouting at God for what’s happening to us, …

Worship Boss vs Worship Leader

Imagine you’re working excitedly on a new goal. You know it’s from God and that it will have a major impact on the worship life of your church. You want to jump in head on and go after it, but you have to stop right there. The way you do it will have long term …
