You have a unique skillset that aligns with a specific purpose that God’s placed on your life.    99% of the time gifting & calling are directly connected.    Sometimes the only way to figure out what that is, is by going after things that prove to not be right.    Whatever the journey looks like though, it’s so important to have people around us constantly pointing our attention to the things God has gifted us in.    Today we hear from Gable Price about his journey into discovering what he’s made to do.    We also share key ways to discover your calling.  Mentioned in the Episode  Gable’s Newest Release  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

It’s been over a year since the murder of George Floyd.  And in the wake, when you look at all the things you said you’d implement and prioritize, did you follow through?  This isn’t something that only some are called to either.  All Kingdom people are called to actively & consistently defend the oppressed. So now that we’re over a year from when so many were first stirred to action, the question is have you followed through?  Today we talk with Ellie Holcomb about how she’s prioritized what the Lord’s laid on her heart & what it looks like to move from ideas to action.  Mentioned in the Episode  Ellie’s New Project  “Be the Bridge” by Latasha Morrison  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Writing a song is one thing. Writing a song that actually says something is completely different!  Great writers fight for language that truly portrays revelation in their writing.  That doesn’t mean that the song has to be complicated or wordy either.   It’s all about finding what best serves the song & stewarding what it’s intended to carry.  Which is way easier said than done!  So, we decided to talk with the team at Circuit Rider Music about how they approach bringing revelation to their songs.    Mentioned in the Episode  The Circuit Rider Music’s new project  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

In worship culture, the concept of “excellence” carries a lot of emotions along with it.  For some, it was used to justify overworking or demanding perfection from people.  In other environments, it’s become an idol where basically people are expendable all for the sake of the church service and the ministry.  Although it’s a concept that’s easy to abuse, excellence is still something that we’re called to.  Not only is it something we are called to, but when done purely it’s a powerful expression of worship.  So what does it look like to healthily engage with excellence?  We sit down with our friend Andrew Holt from The Belonging Co. to talk about this very thing here on the show.    Mentioned in the Episode  The Belonging Co.’s New Project  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

COVID-19 & everything that came with it is coming to a close. So what did you start doing during the pandemic that you want to continue & what are you leaving behind?    Yes this applies to us personally & to our families, but...    As a worship pastor, what do you want to continue & what do you want to leave behind in 2020?    It’s so easy to get caught up in the cycle of the ways we‘ve always done things, but are those ways still best?    Mosaic MSC is no stronger to these types of questions & today they share what they’re thinking about as they head into church services post-pandemic.  Mentioned in the Episode  Mosaic MSC’s New Album  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

There are many misconceptions about how to engage in spontaneous worship.  It requires a team & leaders capable of executing what the moment requires.   So many think powerful spontaneous moments means coming up with a new song on the spot.   But powerful moments aren't always about coming up with something highly energetic & brand new.   It's about yielding to what the Lord wants to do – which often looks different than we expected.   In our conversation with Red Rocks Worship, we talk about how to develop a team capable of engaging in spontaneous worship & what it looks like to faithfully steward a moment.    Mentioned in the Episode  Red Rock’s New Projects  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

It’s so easy to replace our time “with God” with “doing for God”.   Even our personal times of worship can sometimes shift from intimate encounter into preparing for a set, jamming, or writing.   Those things aren’t bad & they have their place! But in those moments, they are distracting us from our time with the Lord.  So as someone involved in worship what's the best way to approach personal times of encounter?   You don’t want to miss Phil Wickham talk about his journey through this very thing on this week’s episode.    Mentioned in the Episode  Phil’s Newest Release  Sacred Pathways Intro Sheet  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

This week we’re talking about a few big topics!   In a crisis of faith or a period of deconstruction should you push through or step down from the stage?  How am I supposed to trust God amidst uncertainty when I have yet to see His faithfulness?   These are only a few of the real questions that every day a huge percentage of people wrestle with.  Although so painful in the moment, what comes out on the other side of engaging with it well is beautiful.  Our guest, Rachael Lampa, knows what it's like to be in the limelight and simultaneously process through these hard questions.    Mentioned in the Episode  The Faithful Project  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

How has striving affected your life? Seriously, think about it!   It’s so easy to believe the lie that getting the better gear, a bigger team, the right connection, or whatever it might be THAT THING will solve all our problems.    Striving is the result of something within that believes what you’ll gain on the other side will bring you all you need.    BUT SO OFTEN THAT’S A LIE    What if we could step into the freedom that comes with living a life free of striving?    Achieving that is not something you stumble into. It’s something that our guest, Andrew Ripp says, requires a violently intentional pursuit.    But it’s a freedom that’s worth that violent pursuit    Mentioned in the Episode  Andrew Ripp’s New Release  Andrew’s Song “Jericho”  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Has your involvement in worship professionally or as a volunteer impacted your relationship with worship music?  Can you listen to worship music without getting distracted by some aspect of it?  Our personal times of worship are so so important, but when worship is your job or something you’re a part of leading it’s easy for that to influence how you engage with it personally.  This conversation is all about finding intentional ways to connect with God in your personal time of worship.  Our friend Criag Denison at First15 has given his life to creating resources for connecting with God throughout the week & we’re excited for him to share with us here on today’s episode.  Mentioned in the Episode  First15’s Page  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

As leaders, it’s so easy to get caught up in our tasks & miss the pinnacle characteristic we are called to cultivate.   Yes, we must produce & get things done, but that’s not the bullseye for a Kingdom leader.  Kingdom leaders invest in the people they lead & how you go about investing is the most important part.   Our guest today, Pastor Scott Wilson, global pastor at The Oaks & founder of The Father Initiative, unpacks what this looks like & what it means to be a true Spiritual Father!  Leading in this way is one of the most important things a leader can do & here Pastor Scott breaks down what that looks like!    Mentioned in the Episode  FREE Copy of Pastor Scott’s New Book  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Recording an album is now easier more than ever before.   So since it's more accessible, the question is should your church do it?  There are tons of different opinions and beliefs when it comes to this conversation, so we decided to invite our friend Kyle Lent from the Austin Stone to weigh in.  The Austin Stone has recorded tons of records over the years.

When it comes to leading the next generation, what used to work with previous generations doesn’t work anymore.  As worship leaders, if we want to keep them engaged with our ministries, then we have to adapt.   Creating ways for them to sit back & consume doesn’t generate buy-in like it used to. They want to belong & contribute.  This isn’t a new concept, but here in the Post-Christian era with Gen-Z covering the newborn to post-grad spectrum, it’s crucial to get this right.  No longer does this only apply to student ministries.   To borrow a phrase that 2020 burned into our memories: it’s the new normal. It applies to us all!

Have you ever found yourself leading from a persona or felt the pressure to seem like you have it all together?     In life & leadership it’s really easy to operate out of places inauthentic to who & where we truly are.    It’s not charisma or having it all together that makes a leader great. It’s the ability to live authentic, humble, & present in every moment.    This is something that Pat Barrett models super well & in our conversation we talk about how these 3 things will allow you & your team to thrive.    Mentioned in the Episode  Pat’s New Album  The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

We get so caught up in developing our skills, learning new techniques, and acquiring new gear, but what actually matters more is your motivation behind it all.   Why do you care to be great?  Surely there are tons of the “right Christian phrases” you could rattle off, but deep down at your core what is your motivation?  Our motivations reveal our identity & identity influences every part of who we are.  Aaron Moses shares with us his journey through identity and what it looks like to find rest & fulfillment in the identity of being a son & daughter.   Mentioned in the Episode  Aaron's New EP “Here & Now”  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

No matter how great you are at leading, this is something that all worship leaders experience.   So what do you do in these moments?   In our conversation with Mack Brock, we talk about approaching lifeless times of worship, stepping beyond leading a song into facilitating moments, and how God’s using foster care to reveal more of His heart!    Mentioned in the Episode  Mack’s New Album - “Space”  Mack’s IG  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Just because you are anointed, incredibly gifted, have deep revelations, & God is using you does not mean you are a healthy leader or person.  The pursuit of wholeness is one of the highest callings as a son & daughter, simply because of what it yields in our lives & in turn, what it affirms and sows into others.  This is a lifelong purist, but progress and transformation are possible.  Naomi Raine, a worship leader and deep well of wisdom who's a part of the Maverick City Music family, is living proof of what happens when you commit yourself to becoming whole.   Her story of intentionally choosing her internal dialogue and anchoring into a community of accountability will encourage you that freedom and wholeness are possible.  Mentioned in the Episode  Naomi’s Instagram  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Have you ever been in a time of Worship and have zero desire to engage in praising?   We see praise mentioned almost 200 times in scripture. Repetition in scripture communicates that something important is taking place.  So, what’s so important about praise?  Our guests this week are known for being a people of praise.  Since their first album released in 2000, PLANETSHAKERS have been an incredible image of what it means to be a people of adoration and praise.   Praise & adoration is something we must consistently & intentionally place in our sets.   Our friends, Joth Hunt and Pastor Sam Evans of PLANETSHAKERS, do an incredible job of sharing powerful insights for why praise matters.     Mentioned in the Episode  PLANETSHAKERS New Album “It’s Christmas” LIVE  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

People think that great worship leadership is 100% dependent upon natural ability or talent. Many things that make worship leaders great have nothing to do with talent.     So what are they?     In our conversation with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, we discuss a few of these practical things, that anyone can do, that have enabled her to become an absolutely incredible worship leader.   These insights are absolutely invaluable.  Tasha also talks about how God is using her to bridge cultures and see true healing take place in areas of injustice.     If you take to heart everything Tasha talks about in this episode, it will not only help you overcome common hurdles every worship leader faces, but also enable you to become the Kingdom leader God's called you to be.

When you place The Great Commission next to the image of the 21st-century church, there’s a bit of a discrepancy. We operate in a culture of “come & see” more than “go & love”.  What if your worship team could catalyst your community into going and making disciples?  This is what Lindy Cofer & the Circuit Riders community not only believes but are also seeing take place all around the US.   It takes place by being intentional with the songs we choose to sing and how we move throughout the day.   It’s not that we are blind to the call to go & love. It’s just become secondary in our communities at large & this conversation is aimed at equipping you to go and ignite your community to movement; no matter your position, title, or profession.  Mentioned in the Episode  Lindy’s Music & Page  Circuit Riders  YWAM  The Send  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

As Christians we are often charged to be like Jesus, but what does that actually look like?  Today we talk with Judah Akers of Judah & the Lion about this very thing.   What we see over and over is Jesus took the time to truly meet people where they were. He did this in such a way that caused all He interacted with to deeply feel & believe He cared.   What are the character traits that provokes someone to truly be with people wherever they are & for it to actually feel genuine?  Empathy & Vulnerability   To be empathetic & vulnerable requires a level of personal emotional integration that’s most revealed in the life of Jesus.   Today's episode is all about what it looks like to love people like this. ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Has God ever felt distant to you?  Has there ever been a time where no matter how hard you’ve pursued Him, you just can’t seem to sense His nearness?  In today’s episode, we talk with Kari Jobe about the Dark Night of the Soul and what it looks like to go through seasons of life where God feels distant.  If you have walked through this before or are currently walking through it, know that you are not alone. What you’re feeling is normal!  So, contend, rest, & find peace in knowing He is leading you and guiding you more than you know. Your posture is everything and that’s what we dive into here in this episode.  Mentioned in the Episode  Kari’s new album - “The Blessing”    5 Things to do When God Seems Distant  St. John of the Cross - “The Dark Night of the Soul ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Have you have ever prayed for something that didn’t come to pass? Or maybe believed for a miracle that didn’t come to fulfillment? These are some of the most difficult and confusing things to walk through in life.   So how do miracles work?  Why do some people get healed and others don’t?  These are questions that this week’s guest is asked constantly.   Pastor William McDowell is not just an individual marked by carrying the presence of God, but it is a grace that’s also on his church, Deeper Fellowship Church. They are no strangers to miracles and seeing God pour out healings, breakthroughs, and deliverance.  These insights you will gain will challenge you and ultimately point you to an even greater understanding of the mysteries of our faith that are miracles, signs, & wonders.  Mentioned in the Episode  Pastor William’s New Album “The Cry”  Pastor William’s Instagram  Deeper Fellowship Church  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

What if your life’s heading towards destruction and it’s all because of your mindset? The choices we make and everything about who we are all stems from belief. What if what you believe about life is fueling actions that are destroying it?  Hope Darst is a dear friend of the show and has decades of experience with this very thing. Her story is one of 20 years of unexpected delays & resignation. Yet what she gained in the process was far more valuable than any record deal or recognition could give her. It has set her up to be far more impactful than she could have ever dreamed.  If you feel like God has called you to something significant of any kind, you cannot afford to miss this conversation. Hope’s insights will unlock inside of you everything you need to become all you were made to be.  Mentioned in the Episode  Episode 105 – Grieving the Death of a Dream with Hope Darst  Hope’s New Album “Peace be Still”  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

One of the craziest things about our relationship with God is we have direct access to His voice. God loves using his children to speak into people’s lives & carry out His agenda.  Words like “prophecy” & “prophetic” can feel intimidating & even seem lofty. “Hearing the voice of God & moving His will forward.” This can seem like an absolutely crazy statement, but this is what He loves to use His people for. Scripture is filled with story after story of this very thing taking place.  So, what does it look like to walk in the prophetic?  In this episode we are joined by All Nations Music, a worship ensemble out of All Nations Worship Assembly in Chicago. This community has a rich history in modeling what it looks like to walk in the spirit of prophecy.   We hear them discussed the foundations of the prophetic, what it looks like to operate in it, and common misconceptions surrounding it. This conversation is an incredible resource no matter your level of exposure in relationship to the prophetic.    Mentioned in the Episode  New Album - “Come Alive”  All Nations Music Instagram  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Writing for corporate worship can feel like a daunting task because ultimately, you’re finding a new way to say what’s already been said. Our job as writers is to re-present ancient truths of who God is.   How you go about doing that in a fresh way is the battle.  Great worship songwriting helps people find the words they’ve been looking for to say to the Lord. They also teach theology that gets embedded into the DNA of our spirits.  In this episode, Bethel Music artist Josh Baldwin shares with us about his songwriting journey and the things that have helped him along the way.   It all starts by actually having something to say & then saying it in the unique voice that God has given you.   This is what we love about Josh. He writes about the revelations he’s received about God & what he knows the Lord wants to say to the church, in a way that sounds like Josh from North Carolina.  Mentioned in the Episode  Josh’s New Single “Into the Wild”  Josh’s Instagram  The Creak Music  Ed Cash  Ethan Hulse  Bobby Strand  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

When was the last time you sat down to have a meal with someone that didn’t look like you or that you didn't agree with? What if saving the world starts by gathering around the table with people who are different than you?  The essence of the table of Christ is that there is a seat for everyone, no matter what they identify with or where they stand on a political or social issue. As the body of Christ, the table is our call!  Today we talk with someone who’s given her life to do that amidst all the other incredible things the Lord has called her to.   Rita Springer is an artist, a writer, a worship leader, a mother, a spiritual mother, an artist’s school leader, and so much more. She defines what it looks like to be authentic to the call on her life over the obsessive focus on the pursuit of becoming successful according to Western standards; all the while doing incredibly massive and successful things in each field. She’s dedicated to growing in wisdom and being a safe place for everyone, no matter who they are, to come sit with her and her family at the table.   If you want to be challenged to grow in wisdom, grow in loving people, and learn what it looks like to make the transition from mentorship to spiritual mothering & fathering, this episode is for you.  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Life sucks sometimes & is filled with unexpected setbacks, tragedies, & suffering. Obviously, no one enjoys these experiences, so we create beliefs and even theologies that help us explain away & avoid walking through suffering.   Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience. Even when you look at scripture, you cannot separate suffering from the life of the believer. That’s why this week’s guests are so perfect for this conversation.  Jeremy & Adrienne Camp are no strangers to suffering, but because of it have seen so many beautiful sides of the Lord that most don’t get to experience. The insights presented here in this conversation reflects decades of journeying with the Lord that you cannot afford to miss out on.  Mentioned in the Episode  New Album - “The Worship Project”  “I Still Believe” the Movie  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

You cannot separate the life of the believer from the call to innovate. From landscapes, to plants, to animals, creation proves all throughout the universe that God has something unique for every geographical location.  It's a messy process that takes a lot of work and a lot of risk. But the beauty it brings to those it’s created for is worth every risk, every effort, & every ounce of sweat. Not because it’s just a new unique thing, but because it’s what God longs to use to reach those He’s destined to experience it.  In this episode we are joined by Nashville Life Music to explore why innovation matters & how their innovation has enabled them to uniquely reach the people God has called them to.  Their new album, “Here for Jesus”, fuses together all different types of sounds to make something you’ve never heard before, but yet feels so familiar. When it comes to innovation, this community is helping lead the charge!    Mentioned in the Episode  New Album - “Here for Jesus”  Nashville Life Music’s Instagram   Nashville Life Church  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

There are no words that can capture the heartache we all feel after hearing of the unjustifiable killing of George Floyd. Racism is evil. It should not exist. It is not from God. It shouldn’t take video after video for our country to take responsibility for the amount of evil and prejudice that still exists in America today. On Monday, May 25 in Minneapolis, 46-year-old George Floyd was killed by a white police officer who pinned him to the ground for over 8 minutes until he could no longer breathe. The encounter was caught on a viral video that has since sparked national outrage over the amount of racial injustice that still exists in this nation. Our guest this week, Ryan Williams, is an incredibly gifted songwriter, worship pastor, and lead singer of the worship group River Valley Worship, a faith-filled collection of artists based out of River Valley Church, with locations all around the greater Minneapolis region The timing of this podcast was nothing short of the work of the Holy Spirit, with Ryan’s home church just minutes from where George Floyd was killed and where the ever-growing riots are currently taking place.  In light of that, we felt led to completely scrap our original plan and talk about bringing unity and Kingdom mindset amidst racial injustice. Ryan also shares how when writing their newest record, “Altars”, every edit and change they decided to make was perfectly orchestrated by the Holy Spirit. For such a time as this.  Don’t miss this powerful episode and be sure to listen to "Altars" by River Valley Worship now available! If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

In a time where toilet paper is a rare commodity, countless people are out of work, and popular cities feel like ghost towns, it’s hard not to feel like we’re in the middle of an apocalyptic movie. Our normal way of living has been flipped upside down. Whether you can see it right now or not, God is using this situation for good. It’s what He does. “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Genesis 50:20 I believe dramatic revival will come from this season. God uses the disruptions of the enemy (link to blog) to reset areas of complacency, establish a stronger foundational core, and ultimately build new callings for our lives. In episode 118, we’re honored to be joined by Jordan Holt, (Worship Online Instructor & Guitarist for Kari Jobe) to talk about identifying the real enemy, managing fear, and finding peace in a pandemic.

"With all the world is facing right now, I think we all need to remember that 'everything will change, so I will not fear. Fear is such a familiar feeling for humans so we need to constantly remind our spirits that God is the source of peace and courage, fear is not what God has to offer, it’s what the world offers. Something we always need is hope and especially now more than ever. . . We are clinging to so much information and news and statistics, but those things always fail us. When we cling to hope, we are never disappointed." -Derek Johnson In episode 116 we are honored to be joined by Kim Walker-Smith, Derek Johnson, and Jake Ithurburn from Jesus Culture! Jesus Culture is a church community of revivalists whose heart is to see a generation impacted through encounters with the Presence of God. The Jesus Culture movement began 20 years ago and continues today at their local church in Sacramento, California. Jesus Culture is focused on equipping young and old to transform society by living in community, growing in the Word of God, discipleship, and living lives surrendered to Jesus in passionate worship. Today, the passionate desire to serve the body of Christ and to see the Church rise up and wholeheartedly pursue Jesus, is stronger than ever. On April 24th, Jesus Culture released a brand-new live album, Church Volume One (Live), available here! "Our prayer is that these songs would serve as a weapon for the Church in this time. Our praise and our worship is powerful and it is a weapon to dispel lies and fear. We pray that these songs become the backdrop for many encounters with Jesus and put words to the prayers and cries of hearts."  - Kim Walker-Smith  Listen in as we talk with Jesus Culture about how they have adapted their church services, how to remain generous, slowing down, and most of all, how to bring hope in the unknown.

COVID19 has completely transformed the way we live day to day life. Church services, worship nights, rehearsals, small groups, all halted and with little to no certainty of when that will change. For this episode, we wanted to reach out to pastors who have navigated their way through this pandemic and found ways to continue serving their church. In episode 114 we are honored to have Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt who is the lead pastor, along with his wife Jen, of City First Church in Rockford, IL. On April 2, they gave away 43,000 lbs. of food and supplies to their local community in need with a partnership with Convoy of Hope. And on April 7, they opened up their facility to other local pastors who needed a way to record their Easter sermons for online streaming When crisis comes, it unifies. Jesus himself said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35   Right now, the world’s response to Coronavirus is to isolate, be fearful, and to hoard. We as the Kingdom of God are called to respond the exact opposite. To unite together, have faith, and to continue to be generous.

In episode 112 we are honored to be joined by Chris Llewellyn from Rend Collective of Northern Ireland to talk about the importance of choosing to worship despite our circumstance. We recorded this episode a few days before the Coronavirus hit the United States hard, and since then, our entire world has changed. Despite what we didn't know, this episode comes at exactly the right time. With millions of people unemployed and hundreds of thousands infected and dying, now more than ever, we need to worship. "Life is hard. Worship will not always or even usually be our default setting...but like a pilot encountering dangerous landing conditions, when these storms gather over us we have to switch off autopilot, wrestle back the controls and manually, intentionally choose worship. Because God is still worthy in the valley. He is good when life is not. And that’s the anchor of our souls." -Chris Llewellyn from Rend Collective Don't miss this powerful episode as we unpack what it takes to worship in the valley, and talk about the heart behind their new album, “Choose to Worship” out now! "This album is an invitation into the spiritual discipline that we have been living as a community of building altars of praise in the darkness, trusting that whether or not the dawn comes, worship is still our sacred duty - and privilege. We hope this album gives you a vocabulary so that you can sing from the shackles, lift an anthem of defiance against your circumstances, and raise a shout of joy that demoralizes the enemy in his attempts to silence you. We hope that nothing will ever steal your song. We hope that you will join us in choosing worship." -Rend Collective If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

If you’re a “production guy” involved in a church, it’s crucial that you understand that before anything else, you are a worship leader. You have the power to set the tone before anyone else walks in - the power to freak out or sing out - the power to curate a safe, healthy, vulnerable, freeing environment for people to pursue presence over presentation - or the opposite - cynical, stressful, “I’m in charge” “hate the musicians” atmosphere that breeds contempt and lifeless church environments with quick turnover and a lonely life. It’s entirely up to you. In episode 108, Brenton Miles shares his experience running sound in and out of the church, and what more sound teams can be doing to empower their worship team. The console is just another instrument, and the band and production crew are ALL the “worship team.” Don’t miss this powerful episode made specifically for anyone involved in church production! We hope this episode brings encouragement and practical tips to strengthen your worship teams. Listen in and share! --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

How do you find your voice as a worship leader? This week we are joined by artist and songwriter, Leanna Crawford to talk about finding your sound. Leanna Crawford is an incredible vocalist and songwriter out of Nashville and tours regularly with artists such as Michael W. Smith, Matthew West, Jeremy Camp, Tenth Avenue North, and Matt Maher. Her passion is to serve young women who struggle with self-doubt and insecurity through music that empowers them. In episode 106, Leanna shares her story about what it took for her to find her voice and pursue her calling. It’s our constant downfall as humans to compare ourselves to others. But here’s the thing... there will always be someone out there who’s better than you and that’s OKAY. Because comparison is the number one thing you can do to prevent owning who you are. Perfection is a religious mindset and an unreachable goal. The pursuit of perfection only leads to disappointment but the pursuit of a relationship with God brings life. No matter your situation, your skill, where you live, none of that matters because you have a voice inside you that the enemy will never stop trying to hide.

Hope Darst is an incredible worship leader for The Belonging Co. in Nashville, TN, and has been traveling the world for over a decade leading worship with Women of Faith, Every Nation Ministries, Christ for All Nations, and many more. In episode 105, Hope opens up about her journey with God, the church, music, and how she learned to overcome the grief of losing a dream. We all have dreams and goals for how we want our future to look like. But what’s even more important is the passion you have to back up those dreams. Passion embraces failure, it defies limitations and brings you hope when you are once again let down. So often, we fit God into our agenda rather than aligning with His. But what would happen if we were to actually surrender, and fall in line with the will of God? Listen in to this great episode as Hope shares how she overcame the death of a dream and built an even better one. Also be sure to listen to her brand new single, Peace Be Still, available now!

If things are not failing you are not innovating.” - Elon Musk  In episode 104, we talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who are moving forward, how Christ modeled creativity, and how much we can impact the church if we were only willing to take more RISKS.  Don't miss this powerful episode!  And click here to read "What it Means to Be a Creative for God" for the full blog that inspired this podcast!  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

This week’s episode comes to you preceded by lots of prayer as we talk about suicide and depression in the Church.   In 2018, Andrew Stoecklein, the pastor of Inland Hills Church in California, took his own life. Just less than two weeks before, Andrew had preached a sermon on depression and suicide, and how to battle it.   The Church was in shock... it didn’t make sense. Approximately one million people a year commit suicide and their pastor was one of them.  In episode 103, we are honored to be joined by worship leader at Inland Hills Church, Andrea Hamilton. When Andrew died, Inland Hills Church desperately needed their leaders to rise up, and Andrea did just that.   This episode is meant to educate, and help us all to be more aware of the warning signs of suicide. Especially in the Church wherein some situations, mental illness has been perceived to be the result of spiritual weakness.  Listen in as Andrea shares her story about how Andrew’s death affected her and the Church, and how even through it all, Inland Hills grew stronger and more alive than ever.   We pray this episode empowers and encourages you all and if there’s anything we can do to better serve you through this podcast, please let us know.  And for anyone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or knows someone in need, please visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call 1-800-273-8255.  Just a reminder that this is the last week to win $100 gift card to Sweetwater!  TO WIN, subscribe to our podcast, write a review on iTunes, and then email us at [email protected] with a copy of your review.

"The only way the agenda of Heaven moves forward purely and fully is if I’m surrendered and dependent on You.”  -Josh Kluge There are moments during every worship set where we have a choice; to stick with what we know will work or follow wherever the Holy Spirit is leading.

At Oral Roberts Univerity, a huge part of the student experience is the culture of worship.

Students that are a part of the ORU LIVE primary team receive full-tuition scholarships and one of the coolest parts about this is you do not have to be a music major to participate on this team. If that sounds like something you’d want to be a part of, 4 times a year ORU has what’s called “Quest Leadership Weekend” for prospective students to come to the University for a weekend to get a feel for what ORU is all about and to apply for other additional scholarship opportunities.

So often we put our own expectations on church leadership, so much so that it’s impossible for any leader to make everyone happy. Listen in as we discuss what really causes this breakdown, and what we need to start doing to change Christian culture. Listen in! --- If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

We’re so excited to be back from our fall break with some really exciting episodes! This week’s guest is an incredible worship leader, pastor and songwriter. He is currently a part of Vertical Worship and serves as the worship pastor for Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago. In episode 93, we are laying the groundwork for church’s and worship teams who may have thought about writing an album, but have no idea where to start.

Jake France comes into this episode with loads of wisdom and couldn’t be a better person to speak on this topic. Listen in as Jake breaks down the golden rules of songwriting and how to actually make the dream of finishing an album a reality.

What are the dos and don’ts of prophecy? In episode 92, we are honored to be joined by Emmy Rose from Bethel Music to talk about how to utilize the gift of prophecy in a healthy way. Emmy was nurtured within the Bethel Music family for several years, working with Kalley Heiligenthal, Brian Johnson and a host of others. Throughout her journey, she has held on to a theme of purity and intimacy alongside a sense-filled impetus that there is always more and it has to be real. Prophecy in itself is a journey. It takes time and practice. It takes courage and being okay with getting it wrong sometimes. Throughout this episode, we share our personal experiences with prophecy, the good, and the bad. We talk about how approach someone if you believe you have a word from them, how to respond when you receive a word from someone else, and how to be confident in the gifts Holy Spirit gives you.

This week we could not be more excited to be sitting down with Jared Runion & Emily Wyant of Local Sound! Founded and led by Jared Runion, the band grew out of the Nashville, Tennessee, college and young adult ministry MyLocal615. Local Sound lives and breathes to support the work of the local church and the lives of young adults by spreading the Gospel through relevant, inspiring and message-driven songs that express the joy found in a life fully devoted to Christ. “We fully back God's dream for The Local Church and we believe that God designed the local church as ‘plan A’—to immerse the world in His culture. We were never intended to be the products of temporary culture… we were made to be distributors of an eternal one.” - Jared Runion  In episode 90, we talk about why there seems to be a rapid disinterest in God among the youth, how to honor past and future leadership, separating the message from the method, and how to actually find true internal freedom through gratitude. I can’t say enough about the amount of wisdom that is packed into this episode, so be sure to listen and share this episode with anyone who needs it!

It’s not uncommon to hear Coldplay played in soundcheck at church or to hear comments such as “That part sounds just like Coldplay, I love it,” or “Coldplay is life,” throughout the week.  My guess is that if you are a worship musician reading this, there is a good chance that you like Coldplay…and you should because they are a great band!  So, then what’s the problem?  Well, with Coldplay, absolutely nothing. All they have done is stay true to themselves and continue evolving with each record.  Our perspective and digestion? That’s a different story.   In episode 89, Brenton Miles, Jordan Holt and Libby Lewis share their feedback on Coldplay and their effect on modern worship. Has it helped, or hurt the progression of modern worship? Listen in now to join the conversation! ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

How do our deepest fears and regrets somehow manifest through another person’s song?

Now more than ever, it’s easy for worship leaders to compare themselves. Especially when we see so many other worship leaders touring, making albums, leading from a larger platform . . . we even have celebrity worship leaders! In episode 77, we are joined by worship leader Katelyn Hill from Journey Church in Franklin, TN, to talk about breaking the vicious cycle of comparison in the church. Even when you feel unseen and overshadowed, never let your identity ever be diminished because another person’s success looks different than your own. “I think God has given me the opportunity to cheer on worship leaders who are called to be more in the public eye and cheer them on. In parts of my story, I’m tempted to feel left out, or less effective, but I’ve found such richness in my specific and unique calling. He’s really been teaching me that everybody’s assignments in the Kingdom are diverse and don’t have to look the same.” - Katelyn Hill Be sure to listen in a stay tuned for part 2 of this episode coming next week! --- If you like what you hear, please leave a review!

Fleurie has been writing music for years and has been involved with music as a young girl growing up in church. After spending some time in Sydney at the Hillsong International Leadership College, she realized quickly that her dreams of being a worship pastor were changing to becoming an artist, and that God had bigger plans for her outside the four walls of church. So in this episode, we talk about musical gifts, calling, and what it looks like to create outside of church world, as many musicians and songwriters in the church feel called to reach people outside of church (which we are all called to do). Fleurie (artist name) is also actively involved in serving in her local church on the worship team as well as writing songs for church.

It's something every musician deals with. As creatives, our art is an expression of what's on the inside. And whether good or bad, joyful or sad, that expression is sometimes the only way to communicate our truest of emotions. With that, sharing our art or creative expression can be done with a couple different approaches. One of insecurity. Or one of confidence. Being confident in who you are comes from a secure place of knowing who you are on the inside.  Identity is something we talk a lot about on this podcast because it's probably the most important piece to unlocking our deepest and broadest potential. When you know who you are on the inside, there's no room for insecurity. And you can create music and worship how God designed you to worship - in Spirit AND in Truth. In this episode, we're back with our discussion panel (Brenton Miles, Libby Lewis, and Jordan Holt) explaining some of our lessons along the way as worship leaders and musicians.  Leave us a review or shoot us an e-mail if you'd like to join the conversation with Worship Online about this podcast and ways we can better help you on your journey as a worship leader & musician!

In Episode 34, Brenton Miles (Worship Leader / Songwriter) and Libby Lewis (Worship Leader / Songwriter / Worship Online Staff) sit down to discuss the importance of investing in yourself.  It's easy to get so wrapped up in the day-to-day life of work, school, family, and ministry, that we can easily forget where we pull our energy from.  REST is super important. ALONE TIME is crucial. And TIME AWAY with God is a MUST. It's also important to place a value on the things that matter in our lives. Investing doesn't always just mean time... it also means resource. You spend your money on the things that are valuable to you. So we highly suggest INVESTING money AND time back into yourself along the way.

It's true - so many people in the church these days experience some sort of burnout... but what's the cause? Why is it so difficult sometimes? Whew... this is a big one. But we HAVE to talk about it. Volunteers, staff, leaders, pastors, you name it... whether you like it or not... we ALL need rest. And if you aren't resting... or if you haven't had a service where you haven't served in a while... take a step back and ask yourself why. It's imperative that you not only rest for yourself... but ultimately if you're burning out, it can have a damaging affect on others too. SO... in this episode, we talk about some experiences, as well as practical steps to escaping the burnout. And we would LOVE to hear some ways you've escaped burnout as well! Send in some ways you've seen it or overcome it yourself. We value your feedback and it totally helps us know where you guys are at on the journey with this podcast!

 Ok so we all know that worship does more than just make us feel good and connect us with God... it actually shifts things in the spiritual realm. SO what exactly happens when we worship?  In this episode we open up some basic realities that are found in scripture that cause for things to be radically shifted when we worship. So when decide to open your mouth and start to give glory, praise, and honor to God in worship: 1. You're changing the atmosphere 2. You're renewing people's minds around you 3. You're breaking down walls (personal walls and for others) It's a powerful thing when we worship because it also disarms the enemy's plans and is also a weapon against fear and anxiety!

What is a spiritual attack and how can you prepare to defend one? This episode is packed full of truth from scripture as well as personal experiences from hosts Libby Lewis & Brenton Miles in the midst of leading worship and leading teams. Libby lists out 3 points that are crucial to understand in knowing where the enemy plans to attack: Steel // Kill // Destroy - That's what he does - And where he tries to attack is important to know how to defend and disarm him.

Episode 28 is definitely one that digs a little deeper into the why behind worship. In John 4:23-24 we hear that scripture from Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman that we've maybe heard a lot if you've grown up in church, but what does that actually mean? There are probably many different explanations of these scriptures, but we wanted to take a look at it from a different perspective being a worship leader... Often times, it's easy to lead in Spirit (or by the Spirit) especially for musicians, because we tend to be more in touch with our emotions and feelings... but what does it mean to worship in truth? Truth is the foundation for everything... if the truth is what sets us free, then it's probably not just knowing the truth about certain circumstances, but instead knowing the TRUTH about who we are in Christ. If the basis for truth is the WORD of God, then everything the Bible says about us will become the foundation of our belief system... and when we know our identity and firmly believe that what the Bible says is TRUTH, then we can worship in the absolute freedom that the truth (the WORD) has made a way for. Understand what the Bible says about YOU, and you'll be able to worship in not only the Spirit, but also in Truth.

Similarly to Episode 26, we're diving in to the DNA of being a worship team. This is a big one. For many teams, rehearsals start on Sunday morning right before service... but this episode, we talk about the endless possibilities of team building, encouragement, and growing as musicians together with the art of having an efficient rehearsal. In our past episode on creating Team Nights, we dive in a little deeper on the long lasting affects of creating space for your team to develop, but in this episode, we're unveiling some super practical tips for good communication, expectations for your team, and ways to build an effective rehearsal environment.

Common issues that come up during rehearsals and run thrus can typically always be avoided with a good soundcheck. In this episode, Shalon and Brenton sit down to talk about effective ways to troubleshoot and get thru a soundcheck and how easy it can be for everyone on stage. The key to a good soundcheck is consistency. Try to repeat the same things every time. Communicate clearly and take note of what you need when you're playing so you can affectively make your changes known when it's your turn. Some key tips: • Take turns communicating changes to your monitor engineer... it can be very frustrating when everyone is trying to communicate all at once. Mostly for the engineer, but also for the team. And more than likely, all of the changes won't get made because he or she will be stressed... SO... have a system. Communicate one at a time, or have one person on stage designated to communicating the changes for everyone. • Play thru a whole song first, then make changes. Keep track in your head of what you need up and down in your mix. • If your mix always sounds muddy, instead of constantly turning things up, what are things you can turn down? - Common misconception. • Get a Front Of House (FOH) mix first, then tweak ears. The sound guys will always want to set gains and EQ's to make sure the source sounds good before making changes to mixes.

Episode 25 is one you won't want to miss. We're sitting down for the second week in a row with Jordan Holt to discuss one of his favorite topics to talk about. In fact, just this week, he released a post on Worship Online's blog (check it out here) about Worshipping Through Authentic Creativity.  There's no question that when it comes to music in the church, there have been some staple sounds and inspirations that modern worship has pulled from. We talk about this quite a bit, but what is YOUR sound? What's YOUR expression of worship when you're creating new tones, delays, drum parts, or harmonies?  God is the ultimate creator, and we are created beings called to create! So how are we doing that to the best of our ability no matter what is in our hand?  We would love to hear your feedback!  Be sure to leave us a review or shoot us an e-mail if you'd like to join the conversation.

Jordan plays guitar full time with Kari Jobe and has been involved in various different music projects over the last few years, and is involved at his church, The Belonging Co in Nashville. Our extended interview with Jordan Holt will be over two separate podcast episodes. In this first episode, we give you an introduction to Jordan, his story, and how he got involved with music, as well as some valuable lessons he's learned along the way.  What does it look like being on the road full time? What does it look like to trust God with your dreams and seek Him first?

In Episode 23, Libby Lewis & Brenton Miles sit down to talk about a subject that gets brought up quite a bit in the Worship Online e-mails - how to introduce new songs within the church! This is a great question and there are so many ways to incorporate new songs depending on your church. We dive into different options, how to roll them out with your team, and how to stay not only current with new songs, but also how to lead a group of people into new songs without completely disconnecting from them. These are GREAT questions and we love hearing from you not only with questions, but also ideas and ways things have worked (or not worked) with your team!

First of all - THANK YOU to all of our amazing listeners who've jumped on and given us iTunes Reviews! - And a special shoutout to all of our winners thru the month of April! Enjoy your Guitar Center gift cards and thanks for spreading the love for Worship Online! In Episode 22 Brenton Miles (worship leader) and Libby Lewis (worship leader and staff member with Worship Online) sit down to discuss remaining faithful within a team even in the waiting.  In a culture where talent is put on a pedestal and everything tends to be a microwave/immediate gratification mindset - it's important to remember that when it comes to the CHURCH (family, community, teams, leaders), God's timing is everything.  Don't ever second guess His timing when you may not be in the place where you feel the most "power" - Many times, we're tested in areas of "less significance" to teach us humility, influence, serving & stewarding what God is doing in a place, and the ability to take on any role with a good attitude... SO DON'T DESPISE THE WAITING... OWN IT! Press in to the power of God and find out what he's saying in the waiting... because he's there. And many (if not most) of the HUGE lessons learned along the way are in the waiting or quiet spaces in life... not on the stage.

In Episode 21, Shalon Palmer, Founder and CEO of Worship Online sits down with Worship Leader and Songwriter Libby Lewis to discuss a huge topic that comes into Worship Online on a regular basis... the frustration of being the "only one" who prepares on your team! Obviously you can imagine (or maybe you've experienced) the frustration and annoyance that can cause... but how do we handle it? In this episode, we talk about what being unprepared looks like as well as the necessary steps to being not only prepared on your parts but going the extra mile in helping the other people on your team be prepared.

In Episode 20, we tackle the big question of whether or not musicians in church should be paid... this is a big one. And you might be surprised by some of our dialogue in this one... We discuss some of the positive and negative affects that paying (or not paying) musicians can have on a worship team. At the end of the day, how are we best supporting and inspiring growth, community, and unity within the local church to the best of our ability and our leadership? For this episode, we thought we'd bring in our panel of worship leaders and musicians with Worship Online - Libby Lewis, Brenton Miles, and Shalon Palmer - Laughter is inevitable when you get these three together... it's also key to a healthy conversation about something that could be considered controversial... so enjoy the craziness.

Team Night's have become a great way to build community, hone the creative experience, and share the vision and direction of the team within the church. At the end of the day, teams of musicians, leaders, production, and creatives all desire to be connected to a community of like minded people. When we open up a space for God to speak and encourage us by being around each other, amazing things can happen.  In this episode, we discuss many different options for team nights. The last thing musicians that are consistently serving in the church probably need is another "service" to go to... but dinner together, nights of worship and prayer together, and nights to just hang, have a fire pit, drink coffee, or play games can be essential to growing together and leaning on each other as a family.

Being a leader is what's expected out of a worship leader... but leadership is not something automatically assumed from a position... it's something earned, and comes as a byproduct of serving and helping people. In Episode 18, we discuss what some of these different roles look like, how to best serve the teams we're leading, and how there should be no difference in your approach to leading/serving off stage as there is on.

In Episode 17, Brenton Miles, Worship Leader, Producer, & Co-Host sits down with Libby Lewis, Worship Leader, Songwriter, Vocal Coach, & Worship Online team member to talk about how to be ready for anything in a worship set or service. It's common where worship leaders and teams have to be ready for last minutes changes, songs, keys, and sometimes even different genres from what we're commonly used to! In this episode, we talk about how to build a relationship with your pastor to know their direction, habits, and communication styles to know where they're headed even if it's not the pre-communicated roadmap. Unity is key, and so is serving your pastors. As a musician, team leader, or band director, being ready for anything is a huge part of flow and eliminating distractions in a worship set.

In Episode 16, Brenton Miles, Worship Leader, Producer, & Co-Host sits down with Libby Lewis, Worship Leader, Songwriter, Vocal Coach, & Worship Online team member to discuss the difference between performance and worship as a worship team or worship leader. This came from a question that was e-mailed to us from worship leaders/pastors from around the country.  We talk about the difference between the two mindsets... where performance can tend to have a standard of perfection, whereas worship is a posture of the heart for obeying God and serving people.

In Episode 14, Brenton Miles, Co-host & Worship Leader sits down with Phil Joel, Zealand frontman and Worship Leader to talk all things worship and the journey that God has taken Phil on over the last 25 years of being a full time touring musician and recording artist. You may recognize Phil's voice from his recent projects as the frontman of Zealand, or maybe from his past years as the bass player and singer for Newsboys.  In this episode, the guys talk about so many topics relating to worship... like being yourself, saying yes, and the freedom found when taking a "risk" and jumping into all that God has. In the natural it seems risky, but God will never let us down... so jump in!

In Episode 13, we unlock the full potential of a worship leader - Being a person that always says "YES". Being a person that gains influence and grows in leadership, typically carry a few patterns that you can recognize pretty quickly. A few that stand out are: a good attitude, someone who's constantly excited about the vision and instruction, and someone who always says "yes".  Anytime you go to an improv show, it's taught that any idea that's thrown out is always "Yes, And" - Shalon unpacks this thought more in the episode. Instead of being someone who always says, "ya, I don't think that's going to work" - figure out a way to say "Yes, and we can add this too" - Watch how that will shift the environment of your team if everyone had that approach.

In Episode 12, Shalon shares a personal story of one of the scariest moments in his life... No joke, if we all had a moment like that, it would be unforgettable.  You'll have to listen in to hear the story...  But it ties right into what we're talking about - Knowing who's in charge. It's important to know who's making the calls and who the leader is inside of a church setting. Organization and leadership is paramount to a healthy church.  But it all starts with a mutual respect and honor of each other. The mindset that we're all family and working together as a team to accomplish a goal. But it's also knowing who's in charge and who makes the final decision.  It's been said that the primary worship leader in the church is the Lead Pastor. I couldn't agree more. The church is following their lead. If they entrust other leaders, the church will follow them as well, wholeheartedly... but the atmosphere and passion in a room (the temperature) is set by the lead pastor.

In Episode 10, we talk about the importance of avoiding train wrecks in a worship set. It all starts with good communication. When the band is clear on where you're headed, there's a good chance you'll avoid any mishaps or train wrecks. When the band is clueless and people are communicating different things... that's where the breakdown occurs. It's really difficult to not be distracted by a train wreck. This episode goes hand in hand with being prepared. But it's so much more than that. This is not only being musically prepared, but having the knowledge in the moment when NOT to play something. Or communicating ahead of time with the MD or band director so you and everyone else are aware of where you're going beforehand.  We'd love if you shared any train wreck stories you may have had recently or not-so-recently.

In episode 9, we talk about PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! - You guessed it... hopefully... we're talking about practice. - It's what Worship Online is all about - Equipping and resourcing the local church with content and material that will help any musician practice.  In this episode, we dive deeper into the idea of practice... how it helps not only grow us as musicians, but helps take our teams to the next level.

In Episode 7, we get real and talk about the importance of humility as worship leaders. Now... how do you have an open and honest conversation about humility with a couple of musicians on a podcast? --- we have not idea. But it starts with this quote - "Humility is being comfortable in your own skin."  The opposite of humility can look different. It can look like insecurity, arrogance, lack of self confidence or self worth... whereas some characteristics of someone who walks in humility, is service, confidence, and influence. Confidence is key to healthy leadership, but leadership is a bi-product of service. If you don't serve people first, then how will you know how to lead?  In this episode, we start the conversation and ask some of the hard questions, while also point out some examples.

Prepare - Prepare - Prepare!   Preparation is key to the success of every musician. Next to the heart behind worship, preparation truly is the most important piece to a smooth and enjoyable experience while leading worship. It’s also the entire purpose behind starting Worship Online in the first place!   Being prepared adds a whole new level of influence and respect within a team. In addition to showing up early, treating people with respect and professionalism, when a musician shows up knowing all their parts, pedals, hits, melodies… it makes everyone else feel comfortable and confident.   Again, like most of the things we’ll cover in this podcast, it goes back to serving. When you show up prepared, you’re serving your team, leaders, and ultimately giving God your best.   In this episode, we go even deeper in uncovering the heart behind being prepared. Truly, the best experiences in worship are the unexpected. So if we stop preparing after the 3-4 songs that we have to play in the set list, what about the “flow moments”. What about the moments when Holy Spirit starts to move and the band continues to press in… if you’re not prepared for those moments, it can quickly turn into a stress mess, a train wreck, or worse… silence… in a bad way. There is definitely good silence, but abrupt stops due to being unprepared… that’s a very bad silence. Ha!   If we can all prepare on the songs we have to play, the songs in the back catalogue, and new songs that we might roll out in the future… imagine how 2nd nature it will become, and how easy the flow moments will be!   AND OF COURSE, in the spirit of being prepared… we’re giving away the BEST RESOURCE to help you get prepared! A FREE annual subscription to Worship Online! Sign up for the drawing at https://www.worshiponline.com/podcast. Winners will be announced beginning in February 2018! So don’t forget to sign up! If you’re already a subscriber, you can also enter to win - Then it will be free for a year! The Worship Online Podcast is recorded live at Gnome Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.  

We can probably all recall a musician along the way who would show up to band practice, get their gear setup, then start playing immediately while everyone was still setting up. Or the guy (or girl) who shows up without their capo, in-ears, picks, or sticks… maybe the vocalist who decided to come in after their outside job without the chance to shower first or at least wear deodorant… The list goes on….   But, like we mentioned in Episode 2 - Our team members, our family, others… are more important. If we have the decision to be selfish or selfless, we must always chose the latter. When we have a mindset of consistently serving others, our professionalism sky rockets. When we are oblivious to other people… we are just plain annoying.   So… simply put - Arrive early. Get setup quickly. Then find someone else to help! Imagine if we all had the mindset of not just serving our congregations… but our team members.   Sign up to win a free annual subscription to Worship Online, and stay connected with our team at https://www.worshiponline.com/podcast!

Simply put, this is a no-brainer. If you want an easy way to influence your team and show them that you care about THEM… may we introduce the most affective sub-conscience way to do so - showing up early.   Brenton’s pastor growing up used to always say “if you’re on time, you’re late.” - This is something a lot of people disregard and don’t think much about. But how many times have you noticed, when you walk into a meeting and the person you’re meeting with is already there, how it feels different than when they’re not there.   The same goes for rehearsals. When everyone is early, set up, and ready to go, then when rehearsal starts, everyone feels at ease and confident. When someone is still dialing in tone, running around to find cables, changing strings when it’s time to start… it pushes everything back… then when you have a song that’s rough, or technical issues you have to work out, you’re already running late and it causes unnecessary stress. Whereas, if everyone is on time, there’s a marginal space to work out any unforeseen issues. And if everything goes smoothly, you’re done early! More time to hang with the rest of the crew, eat a little snack in the green room, use the restroom, etc.   It’s a short and simple episode, but a truth that is crucial to every teams growth and success.   Don’t forget!

In this episode, we talk about the heart behind worship. The "Seek First" principle is something we should all have as a number one priority in our lives as Christians… especially as worship leaders. Matthew 6:33 says “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”   The entire point of leading worship is to help other people connect with this truth. When we seek God first, He becomes the foundation of our lives and everything else is a bonus… a blessing. When He is first, and his people (Kingdom) are a priority in our lives, then playing, singing, charts, sets, etc. all become secondary… simply put, they are expressions or tools that we use to help facilitate an encounter with God, with him being the ultimate priority and focus.   This is why aside from our introduction, it’s our first official episode… because it’s the most important… the foundation for this entire podcast. As we unpack more logistics, questions, things to make us sharper in the world of worship leading and music… we will always point back to Episode 2. The reflection of what we discuss will always go back to our heart for seeking first the very presence of God, His Kingdom, His righteousness.   We’re excited to go on this journey with you and can’t wait to explore this next chapter with you on the podcast!   Be sure to check out https://www.worshiponline.com/podcast to sign up to win a FREE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION and to get connected with our team!
