Speaking between songs... memorizing your music... telling someone "no" to being on the worship team. There's no doubt that there are a lot of things that are difficult to do in worship ministry…

Check out this week's worship leading tip of the week…

Tired of saying the same speaking transition in the same spot in your service every single Sunday?…

I challenge you to talk about the GOOD THINGS in your speaking transitions tomorrow…

I challenge you to simplify a speaking transition you have planned for tomorrow…

Simplicity makes things faster. In the long run, simplicity is cheaper. And simplicity leads to clarity.

What if what you did in your worship ministry could be done faster, for less money, and result in a clearer message? That's the power of embracing SIMPLICITY!…

I want to be careful with how I phrase this but... sometimes we OVER SPIRITUALIZE things that happen in our worship leading.

Hear me out...

One mistake worship leaders make when speaking while leading worship is using too much language that focuses on themselves.

It sounds something like this, "I was reading MY Bible yesterday and came across this verse and it really spoke to ME. This is what's going on in MY life. It's awesome how God can speak to ME in MY time of need."…

I challenge you to define what worship is and share the definition with your church…

As you head into one of the biggest Sundays of the year, I want to give a few practical tips for the METHOD of leading worship well online…

Your church is made up of people. And if you want to lead worship well, you have to lead those people well. That means knowing them…

To LINGER in worship means…

Most worship leaders have made it to the point where they understand that, in order to lead worship well, you need to know how to play the songs you're leading well…

Do you get "worship leader voice" when you start speaking in front of your church while leading worship?…

Do you play background music behind people while they're speaking during your worship service? Maybe it's behind someone who comes up to give the announcements. Or your pastor when they're preaching. Or just during your speaking transitions while you lead worship…

Undoubtedly, speaking while leading worship can feel awkward. Especially when you're new to leading worship. Just playing your instrument or singing in front of other people is nerve-wracking enough, but add public speaking on top of that and it gets even more uncomfortable.

How can you overcome those feelings of awkwardness and lead your church with confidence?…

I challenge you to use Scripture in a speaking transition tomorrow…

Do you have any songs in your worship team repertoire that are starting to feel like they're getting old? Well, you could just get rid of them and stop doing them. But, you've spent a lot of time teaching your church these songs - they know them - they can sing along easily with them. So, what if, before you cut them from the list, you tried to make them feel new again?…

Transitions are one of the harder things to figure out when it comes to leading worship. At first, it seems like the task of leading worship is to just pick some songs and play them. Of course, as you lead for a while, you quickly realize it's much more than that. Musically, it's not just about picking random songs and playing them. It's about figuring out how the songs work together. It's about finding how to navigate between different keys, fast songs and slow songs, and whatever else you have going on in your worship gathering…
