I feel like it's finally starting to click... I hear singing on Sunday mornings.

I started leading worship at the church I'm currently at about two years ago. Over those two years, I've gradually heard the volume of congregational singing increase more and more…

What's the one thing you want from your church when you lead them in worship? Engagement! You want them to participate in your worship gathering.

Maybe you put in a ton of work throughout the week preparing for worship only to head into the first song on Sunday and see a bunch of blank faces staring back at you…

The longer you serve in ministry, the more time false narratives have to develop.

What happens is you exchange what is REAL for what you WISH WAS REAL.

Before you continue reading this post, hear me out: I'm not looking to destroy your worship leading hopes and dreams BUT I am a realist…

As a church, one of the ways we worship together is through singing. So, it would be nice if everyone was involved in the process.

And there are reasons that we can't control that people don't sing. But, there are a few things you CAN do to make sure that, if people are ready, they're able to sing along and worship with the rest of your church…

I challenge you to challenge your congregation to do something slightly uncomfortable tomorrow…

I challenge you to give people a specific truth to respond to before you lead them in worship tomorrow…

"Church culture" - it's sort of a buzz word on the internet these days.

It's that invisible, intangible thing that subconsciously directs the decisions you make and, ultimately, how people respond to things in your church…

Helping your church engage in worship can be one of the most frustrating/rewarding things for worship leaders. If you are pouring your heart and soul into your preparation and doing everything you can to help people engage in worship and they just stand there and stare, it's frustrating. But, on the other hand, when they finally latch onto where you're leading them, it's the most amazing experience you can have while leading worship…

Do you struggle with finding more volunteers for your worship team? Welcome to the club!

Every worship leader wishes they had more people who could serve on their worship team. If you just had a few more people... your band would sound fuller. If you just had a few more people... you could give your current members a week off every once in a while. If you just had a few more people... YOU could take a week off every once in a while…

The number 1 thing worship leaders who lead well want is congregational engagement. They just want the people they're leading in worship to be actively engaged.

The problem is it's so easy to lose your influence in helping people engage. And, often times, worship leaders lose that influence within the first 5 minutes of their worship gathering…

This weekend I have the opportunity to lead worship at an International Justice Mission Local Prayer Gathering. And it dawned on me that there are going to be a lot of people there that I don't really know. So, I found myself asking the question: how should I lead them differently? Maybe you've been in a similar situation…

I challenge you to provide your church a specific opportunity to respond to God tomorrow…
