Worship leaders, artists (and really most humans) can be quite insecure. Any time we are stepping into new territory we can feel unsure of ourselves and our abilities. How can we battle insecurity and become all that God is calling us to be? Patrick Mayberry says through having the right identity. More than what we do, or what we accomplish, or how well we 'perform', we are God's beloved children. What an incredible truth!

Most churches don’t have money to hire professional sound techs. Usually, worship leaders get stuck being both worship pastor AND audio director. The problem is, most of us weren’t trained in audio. To make matters worse, our churches usually aren’t equipped with the latest and greatest sound gear. So how do we, as untrained audio engineers working with less-than-adequate gear, make our churches sound great? That’s exactly what we’...

What if the modern worship experience is incomplete? What if how we lead worship and what we include in our services is leaving our church malnourished? What if we aren't giving them the Biblical language and experiences they need to successfully navigate life as a believer? Can we do better? If so, what should our worship services look like? What elements should they include?

These are all the questions I explore with Aaron Niequi...

A huge part of the modern worship sound is amazing sounding keyboards and synthesizers. But it's not just the sounds of the keys that matter. It's also how our keyboardists approach what they're playing. In this podcast episode, I talk with David Pfaltzgraff of Sunday Sounds about how our keyboardists should approach their playing in a modern worship, live band context. We discuss mindset, hand placement, general technique, frequen...

We can't expect anything from our worship team volunteers if we haven't clearly communicated what we want from them! The job of a leader is to provide clarity. Clarity around what we want our volunteers to do, why it matters, and how to do it successfully. In this episode, Jason Squires and I talk all about setting volunteer expectations for worship team members. If you were helped by this content, forward it on to a friend.

It seems that since Covid, people's attention spans and commitment levels have plummeted to near zero. This is a problem when we're trying to lead a team!

The average church in America is 80 people. And the vast majority of churches in the US are under 200 people. Small churches are not small…they are actually NORMAL. Big churches are abnormal. So how can we stop comparing ourselves to big churches and try to be who God made us to be? How can we be excellent with what we have? Jason Houtsma from Worship Artistry joins me to discuss. We talk recruiting, training, arranging, and improv...

We live in a noisy world. But God speaks to us in a "still small voice". It's easy to miss. As worship leaders, we need to make time and space to hear from the Lord. We can't give to others if we're not receiving ourselves. But how do we do that in a world full of distractions? That's what I talk about this month with Andrea Olson from Overflow Worship. If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend.

This episode is me teaching a group of worship leaders how to improve their worship sets by understanding a few simple frameworks. By the time you finish this episode, you'll kn...
