I'm sorry to tell you but if things haven't already gotten crazy busy at your church, they're about to.

As churches resume in person gatherings, you're going to feel a pull on your time and energy more than you've felt these past couple of months.

That's why it's so important to protect your REST as you return to in person church!…

As churches move toward meeting in person again, some are considering not singing during their services.

And honestly, I see both sides of the argument - so I won't weigh in on what I think is the correct choice (because I'm not sure I know the right answer)…

Over these past couple months you've learned A LOT about how to lead worship.

Maybe you didn't even realize that this season of leading online has prepared you to lead better as lockdowns lift and your church returns to in person gatherings.

It's so important to NOT leave behind some of the skills you've learned in this season…

There is much frustration to be felt during this period of returning to in person worship.

Listen, this is a difficult time.

But, in the midst of frustration and uncertainty and discerning, don't forget that you are first called to love the people of your church…

Worship leader: as lockdowns lift, I know you have a million things you're trying to figure out.

In the midst of all of your "I don't knows" and logistics, don't forget that you still have a responsibility to lead your worship TEAM…

I challenge you to specifically recognize that there are children worshiping alongside the adults you're leading in worship tomorrow…

Churches are so close to meeting in person again! In fact, as coronavirus lockdowns lift, some churches have already started to resume in person Sunday services again…

For the time being, most churches have decided to limit direct interactions between members who aren't family. One of the ways they're doing that is by not having a separate environment for children during their Sunday services.

That means that YOU have the responsibility of leading kids AND adults in worship now!…

As lockdowns lift and churches start to meet in person again, worship leaders are faced with a new challenge.

The truth is some people in your church won't feel comfortable returning to in person gatherings on Sunday mornings and will continue to worship online…

Think about how much you've learned over the past few months of being in lockdown... a lot!

I truly believe that God has used this time to raise up and develop the skills of worship leaders…

Have you heard the rumors yet? Churches are going to go back to meeting in person in the relatively near future! (Some sooner than others - but we'll all get there eventually!)…

I challenge you to "go to church" somewhere else this weekend…

It's been difficult keeping our worship teams engaged during this season of ministry, hasn't it?

For the time being, it seems like it would be easier if we just did everything ourselves. 

But the truth is YOU still have a responsibility to lead your worship team even if you don't regularly see them!…

It's a grind to consistently put out videos and posts and whatever else you're doing to lead the people you love in this age of online church.

Let me remind you: it's so necessary that we do it SUSTAINABLY…

We're well past a month of being lockdowned. At this point the novelty has worn off and the boredom has set in.

So, what can you do as a worship leader to stay busy?…

I challenge you to hop on another church's livestream this Sunday and encourage them…

Anyone feel awkward as soon as the camera turns on?

For some reason, once that blinking light comes on and we realize we're being recorded - the anxiety sets in. 

Now that church services have been moved online, worship leaders have to deal with camera anxiety every single Sunday…

Are you having trouble keeping your worship team connected during this period of social distancing?

Many worship leaders have moved to simply leading worship by themselves on Sunday mornings.

So, the question is: How do you keep your worship team connected if they aren't leading worship on Sundays?…

Worship leaders are no longer able to connect with their church, worship team, or pastors in the same way they had before.

If you are struggling with loneliness in this season of ministry, YOU aren't alone.

So, how can you fight this season of loneliness?…

I challenge you to treat the camera like it's a person when you lead worship on Sunday…
