The term "spirit led worship" is often thrown around in worship leading circles.

But most of the time, people don't provide much context around what it actually means…

Let's be honest: leading worship can be pretty intimidating.

You're in front of your church singing and playing music and it feels like everyone is watching you.

So, it's no surprise that worship leaders experience stage fright from time to time…

If you haven't heard yet, I've had a nice 10 month break from leading worship.

That's right! About 10 months ago, I stepped away from my position as full-time worship pastor at the church I was leading at and have only led worship ONCE since then.

These past several months have been interesting. I've learned A LOT!…

Bad news... the summer ministry season is almost over (sad face). And this year's summer ministry season was definitely interesting to say the least!

But, there's still time to make the most of what's left of summer!

Here are 3 things to do for your worship ministry before summer is over…

If you've been leading worship for any amount of time, chances are you've probably made a mistake or two...

It's probably not possible to NEVER make a mistake again in your worship leading BUT we can learn from mistakes and improve…

Hey! I know how it is: you just saw a new gear video on YouTube or you learned about some new piece of gear another church got and you think to yourself, "I NEED that."

It happens to me all the time and, honestly, I don't even like gear.

It seems like, if we could just spend a little money, our problems would be solved…

Do you ever feel like you've sung a worship song too often and your church is probably tired of it?

Well, the truth is: usually your church ISN'T tired of it.

In fact, by the time you're tired of a song, your church is probably just starting to like it…

Anyone can create a worship set list that sounds good...

You pick a good balance of fast and slow songs, you try to match the keys of songs as best as you can, and you pick songs people know...

But, just because a worship set list SOUNDS good doesn't mean it serves your church well!…

It can be a little intimidating leading at a church you've never led at before.

You don't know the culture. You don't know the people you'll be leading. And you're not sure what gear they have.

That's why it's important to clearly and intentionally communicate with the church you'll be leading at beforehand!…

Last week I got the chance to spend some time discussing leading worship in a small church with James Cottrell on The Young Worshiper Podcast!…

Worship team devotionals are a great way to regularly communicate vision to your team and pour into them spiritually.

In fact, I think devotionals are so important that I regularly list them as one of the 5 essential pillars of a great worship team rehearsal.

But, for worship team devotionals to truly be effective, they have to be led in the correct way…

If you could only communicate ONE thing to your worship team before they lead this Sunday, what would it be?

For me, it's this: We are ALL worship leaders.

Those five simple words have the ability to change EVERYTHING…

On a recent Insta story poll, I asked "Are you a worship TEAM leader?"

Over 90% of the people who answered, answered: "Yes. I lead a worship team."

It got me thinking: what makes a great worship team leader?

Here are 3 qualities of a great worship team leader…

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!…

Ever feel like you're not "good enough" to lead worship?

Well, here's a secret: you're not alone!

Every worship leader has felt like they weren't good enough to lead worship at some point in their worship leading career…

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...

Everybody wants the QUICK TIP for how to improve their worship leading in the moment.

"What can I do on Sunday mornings to improve?!"

But the truth is, true worship leading improvement happens OUTSIDE of Sunday mornings.

Sunday is only 14% of the week! If you really want to improve, you've got to learn what you can do the other 86% of the time!…

Last week we talked about how to memorize LYRICS of worship songs. But what about memorizing the CHORDS you're supposed to play?

Maybe you've always wanted to memorize your worship music chords but didn't know where to start…

Ever had someone ask: "How'd it go today?" after you've led worship?

How do you quantify your response? What defines a "good Sunday" from a "bad Sunday?"…

As church's start to meet in person again, one of the questions worship leaders are wondering to themselves is: "How many people will be there?"

Will people actually show up this Sunday?

And will they come back next Sunday?…
