Don't forget to do these 5 things BEFORE you go on vacation…

Summer will officially be here at the end of this week! (At least in the US... sorry Aussies - enjoy your winter!)

For many church leaders that means things slow down a bit as regular church get togethers pause and people go on vacation…

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!…

I challenge you to find some time to rest before you lead worship tomorrow!…

We're a little bit over a week into 2020 now - what habits have you started to form in your worship ministry?…

For those of you that don't know, 2 and a half months ago I resigned from my position as full-time worship pastor at the church I was leading at. And that resignation marked the start of the longest break I've had from leading worship (and leading in a church in general) since I first started 13 years ago…

New years are always filled with excitement. The unknown lurks around that switch from your "2019 Cat Calendar" to your "2020 Special Edition Baby Yoda Calendar" that your kids got you for Christmas.

And perhaps that excitement and unknown is present in your worship ministry as well. What will the new year bring?…

Congrats! You made it through Christmas! Now the question is: What do you do now?…

You did it! 👏👏👏

You made it past Christmas…

I challenge you to REST before your Christmas service…

I know how it is. It's the Christmas season and your worship leading life is crazy right now.

There are a hundred and one things that you could be doing to prepare for this Sunday and a million more you could be doing to get ready for your Christmas services. Your to-do list is LONG this time of year!…

Now that we are finally officially into the summer season, maybe you've noticed some effects. People are away on vacation so attendance is lower. Your normal church programming may be taking a break. There's not as much that you need to regularly plan for and so it feels like you've got a lot of time (or maybe not a lot but slightly more than you've previously had)…

The book of Proverbs is definitely a call to wisdom but it is also a call to prudence. It is a plea to act with thought of the future. To not just live in the moment, but to consider how your present actions will affect your future. That's not only great advice for your life in general - it's also very applicable to your worship ministry…

Ever get tired of worship ministry? Maybe you feel like it's just the same thing over and over again. Or maybe you are just physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted. THAT is burnout. Or at least that's what it can look like.

Often times, you don't even see it until you're well within the midst of it. If that's where you are at right now, something needs to change. The systems you currently have in place are not working and you are not setting yourself up for future success. How do you break the cycle?…
