I challenge you to give each of your worship team members a compliment after your service tomorrow…

Some worship teams rehearse every week. Other teams only run through the songs right before they lead on Sunday. Which method is best?…

Jake from Churchfront and I just put out another Q&A podcast session where we answered some more of YOUR questions! Check it out by heading to www.churchfront.com/podcast or searching for the Churchfront Worship Leader Podcast on iTunes.

During the podcast we discuss these 4 questions…

This chord works well in the key of E along with these chords…

Songwriting for your church is different than writing personal songs. There is a lot more responsibility to carry because these songs are not just for yourself - they're for your church. That's why it's important to understand these 3 key ideas to writing songs for your church!…

Do you ever feel like you aren't good enough to lead worship? Maybe you're self-conscious about your voice. Maybe you compare yourself to other worship leaders who you know are better singers than you. The truth is: you don't have to be the best singer in the world to lead worship. You only need to be slightly above average…

I challenge you to keep your eyes open at least 75% of the time tomorrow!…

Happy Thanksgiving! There's so much to be thankful for today. Chances are, you'll be reflecting on what you're thankful for in your own life. In the process, don't forget to thank God for everything and everyone involved in your worship ministry!…

For most leaders, especially when they're just starting out, their eyes are closed 75% of the time and only opened 25% of the time. Leading with your eyes closed is probably your default. But, there are a ton of advantages to keeping your eyes open when leading - we've covered these at length in multiple posts.

Since we've already covered some positive reasons to keep your eyes open, let's look at some negative things that happen when you don't keep your eyes open…

Here are some of the best 2018 Black Friday deals for worship leaders…

You're thankful for the people who serve on your worship team right? They come to rehearsals. They put in work on their own time. They come early on Sunday mornings. There's a lot to thank them for. So why not let them know on Thanksgiving day?…

I challenge you to prepare a smooth transition for tomorrow…

Ahh.... the elusive day off. That in and of itself can be hard to commit to. But what if I told you, if you follow 3 simple steps, you can take an entire week off? It's really that simple.

We all know time off for rest is important but rarely do we feel comfortable taking it. What will my church think? How will my weekly responsibilities get done?…

It can be difficult to pick songs when the keys simply don't work well together. Sometimes, worship leaders compromise song key for flow and they just do all the songs in the same key. On the other hand, other worship leaders ignore song keys and start and stop between every song. The solution is to learn how to smoothly transition between different keys…

This chord works well in the key of G along with these chords…

Dynamics are essential to modern worship music. However, in smaller churches with small worship bands, it can be hard to get the same dynamic range as you hear on recordings. That's because there are 30 different instrumental parts on the recording you're listening to. It's difficult to emulate that when all you have are a few acoustic guitars and a cajon!…

How often do you find yourself saying, "I'll just do it myself!"? You know you could ask someone else to do whatever you have to do but it seems like that would be more work than you just doing it in the first place. You'd have to show them how to do it and then watch them and make sure they got it right.

The truth is: "I'll just do it myself!" is a dangerous phrase. In the short term, it seems innocent enough. But, in the long term, it's got major consequences…

I challenge you to practice a song you'll be leading at your church this Christmas season…

It's important to sing traditional Christmas songs during the Christmas season. But, it's also good to incorporate some more modern songs during the season too. The problem is: a lot of newer Christmas songs were written for the radio and not necessarily for congregational worship. So it can be hard to find the best songs to lead in your church. That's why we've put this list together (with YOUR suggestions) - problem solved!…

Christmas is coming! That means it's time to start planning your Christmas services. Don't wait until the last minute to figure out what you're going to do. If you want to lead well, you've got to plan early. When you plan early, you aren't stressed about what's going to happen. Plus, planning earlier allows you to do more and do it all better. So get to planning!…
