Being Led While Leading

I guess I’ve always felt like I was somewhat of a leader. With my Type A personality, taking charge of situations has not always been easy, but I haven’t refused the challenge. However, I can say that being a church leader has presented more challenges than any other situation that I’ve experienced in my life. …

Excellence vs. Perfection

  Are you a perfectionist? I know at times I can be, especially when it comes to leading worship. Long before rehearsals even begin, I have a pretty good idea of how things should go; of how songs should be played, how lyrics should look, how lighting should feel, and how audio should, well, sound. I …

I’m Just Not Feeling It

  We’ve all been there…we come into corporate worship needing our weekend “escape from reality” and when we don’t get the “goosies” we were expecting, we conclude that the band didn’t “bring it” like they did last week or that the worship leader didn’t take us to that place of transcendence we were looking for. …

Thoughts on Discipleship

My daughter likes Frozen. What can I say. She’s four. She likes to sing “Let It Go” and she likes to dress up like Princess Elsa. This is my nightmare. A while back my daughter was doing her dress up thing. She came out as Elsa, full dress, high heels, crown and all. And she …

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 …

Why We Audition

In some cases, “Audition” has become a forbidden word in Church world. It is that difficult topic that none of us want to talk about really. We don’t know where different generations stand on it; depending on how you were raised and how you interpret Scripture, you can fall all over the map on this issue. …

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 …

5 Steps to a Maximum Impact Rehearsal

As a music director, session player, and clinician, I’m often asked to speak about my personal technique for learning, preparing, and rehearsing new music, as well as my approach to team rehearsals.

Incorporating Youth // Part One

If you’re reading this right now, at some point in the not so distant past you have asked yourself something like this, “how can I get my students more involved in the main service worship?” Well I’m a youth pastor and I ask myself this question all the time. If we’re honest, sometimes it seems …

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 …

One of the great things about being a part of a growing ministry, and more, a growing church is the fact that we are reaching more people with the message of Jesus! When I think back to the “early days” of our church and our ministry and how we did things, I am amazed and …
