Are you and your pastor the only ones who ever talk during your service?

You read all the Scripture. You pray all the prayers. You sing all the songs.

Your pastor leads some other prayers. Then he preaches.

… then you sing another song and then you pray and everyone goes home....

I’ve been talking a lot about using the Bible in your worship leading over on my YouTube channel.

But there is ONE doctrine about the Bible that worship leaders always forget.

Sure, we believe the Bible is inspired. We heartily affirm it is the Word of God…

9 months ago I completely changed how I approach leading worship...

The key change for me was understanding that worship is a dialogue - it involves God speaking to us (through His Word) and us responding to Him.

As a result, I started incorporating Scripture every single week into my service. And not just a little bit of Scripture but whole passages of Scripture…

I've heard a lot of boring Scripture readings in my life.

Monotone, uninspired, cookie-cutter passages just thrown into the service in order for someone to say "... I read Scripture today."

I think we can do better. Especially as worship leaders.

Let me teach you how…

Quit overcomplicating speaking between worship songs.

I remember when I first started leading worship I had absolutely no idea what to say when I led. As a result, I just kept my mouth shut and played some worship songs.

I thought speaking between worship songs was intimidating. It was complicated. It was a mystery that I couldn't figure out…

Want to include more Scripture in your worship leading?

Should you just open up your Bible and read a random verse? Is there a WRONG verse to read at the wrong time?…

I wish every worship leader could watch the video I just posted. It would bring so much freedom in how they lead worship.

Do you feel that heavy pressure of having to perform every single Sunday over and over and over again? Then, you wake up on Monday and realize in six short days you have ANOTHER service to plan for. Plus, this time has to be bigger and better than the last one…

There is ONE Bible verse that I see misquoted over and over again... and you might be regularly using it.

In fact, I can almost guarantee you or your pastor have quoted it during your worship services at least once during your time as a worship leader…

Are you a "Welcome to church! Let's stand and sing together!" worship leader?

That used to be how I started every Sunday morning... until I realized that there was a much better way to start our services.
