Creating A Safe Worship Environment

“How can I, as a leader, create a safe worship environment?” This is a significant question that draws at the heart of what it means to be a worship leader. I remember what it felt like to me when I first encountered a safe worship zone! The atmosphere in the room felt electric. The sense …

Stop Trying to Impress

I know that playing music or singing can be an extremely vulnerable thing. I mean, essentially, you are putting yourself out there for others to make some kind of judgement. Will they like my playing? Does he like my voice? Do I sing better than she does? Do they like my leading better than his? Do they think I …

Worship = Power

Our churches are filled with broken people that have real hurts. Others keep coming through the doors in denial, thinking that everything is well and that they can just “phone in” their worship by showing up at church once a week, usually right before the teaching. How can we, as leaders, facilitate worship that breaks through great pain …

The Importance of Leading Students

Coming from a Christian home with a father who was a worship leader at a small church, it goes without saying that worship has always been a part of my life.  I remember watching my dad lead the congregation musically, and watching him be fully engaged in the art of worship spiritually, emotionally, and physically.  For …

I Pushed a Guy off a Cliff!

When I was in middle school, my family took a week­-long trip out west. I remember being so surprised when I actually saw the Grand Canyon with my own eyes. I’d seen it in pictures and movies, but it’s a completely different thing to see it in real life. There’s this little spot there where all the tourists …

Admitting You’re Wrong is Easy… It’s the Realizing That’s Hard

Be sure to also check out Chris on the podcast. Admitting you’re wrong is easy. Well, not easy if you’re a pride monkey like me. But… saying “I am/was wrong” is actually pretty easy to do, once you’ve realized you’re actually wrong. Now… realizing you’re wrong is WAY harder. Figuring out all the ways you …

Is Ministry More Important than Family?

I’ve learned a few things over the years I’ve been in ministry. I’ve learned how to interact with difficult people, how to plan for huge events, how to raise support for new endeavors, and how to neglect my family. Yeah, you weren’t expecting that last one. A great post from Jesse about the balance of family and ministry.
