You should be treating your sound techs like they are a part of the worship team. Part of that means helping new sound techs grow in their craft and training them up.

The only question is: how is a worship leader in a small church supposed to help the sound tech when they're always the one on stage playing?…

I challenge you to specifically pray for 1 of these 4 things tomorrow before you lead worship…

There's no doubt memorizing your music for leading worship takes a lot of work. But in the end, it's completely worth the effort. Maybe as a worship team leader you recognize the benefits but how do you get your team to actually do it?…

Most worship teams pray before their service starts. Maybe you are the one praying. What should you be praying for? It can differ from week to week and you don't always need to pray the same thing. Maybe you know a specific story of someone in your church and you want to pray over that. Whatever it is, don't box yourself into the 4 ideas you're about to read but these are a good place to start…

Have you ever felt the routine of leading worship? You show up for worship rehearsal, come back early on Sunday, pick songs for the next week, and repeat the process all over again. Sunday's here but Sunday's coming. It can seem like a never ending cycle. So how do you break the routine?…

This question has been coming in frequently over the past few months: "I've only got two musicians available to play on Sunday this week. They're able to play multiple instruments (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums, kazoo, etc.) but I'm not sure which one to tell them to play. Which instruments would you choose to use if you only had two musicians?"…

I challenge you to point your team to the "why" tomorrow!…

It can be intimidating when you first try to memorize your music. There are definitely things that can go wrong but the positives far outweigh the negatives. Once you start leading worship with your music memorized, you'll realize that you're better at it then you thought - give yourself some credit!…

There's no doubt it's difficult to memorize your music. Between chords and lyrics and constantly changing keys it can be hard to remember it all. But it's also hard to do a lot of things when it comes worship leading and just because something is difficult doesn't mean you shouldn't do it…

What would happen to your worship team if you suddenly disappeared? Would they know what they need to do to keep serving well in your church? Or would they be completely lost?

Part of leading your team well means setting them up so that they can serve without you. It means making them self-sufficient. Make it your goal to be able to take a Sunday off and be confident that everything will run just as it usually does at your church…

There's a danger that presents itself when you are put in charge of a team: it can be easy to start to think that the people on your team are there to serve you. You're the one with the plan and if they would just play their role - you would be able to accomplish what you want to accomplish.

The problem is that's not how good leaders lead. Leaders who lead thriving teams know that they shouldn't be building a team that serves them - they should be building a team that serves alongside them!…

I challenge you to prepare to lead worship… for real!…

Recording a worship album is more accessible now than ever! You can get started for under $300. And the beautiful thing is that churches of all sizes can now afford to record their music.

The question is no longer: Can you record an album? The question now is: Should you record an album? And simply answered: yes! But, before you do that, you need to answer a few questions…
