How complicated is your worship ministry? The single greatest thing you can do is embrace simplicity! Filling your ministry with complicated things makes you feel productive but it's actually laziness in disguise. Instead of focusing on one or two big things - you focus on a million little things that don't really push the needle forward…

All too often, worship leaders enter into their time of congregational worship from their own perspective. The thing is: your time before your Sunday service is quite different from the time your church spends. There are certain things that you do that prepare you for that moment of worship that the people of your church haven't done yet. Keep that in mind as you lead your church and allow it to shape the way you lead them…

I challenge you to see your worship leading AS worship tomorrow…

In this video, I share one thing you can do before you lead worship, one thing you can do while you lead worship, and a bit of theology that will help you see worship leading as worship…

The more prepared you are logistically when leading worship, the more free you will be to focus on the spiritual side…

It can be a little intimidating playing behind your pastor while they're preaching. It's one thing to just learn a few chords and play a song but how do you play behind someone speaking? Do you just make it up as you go? How do you not be a distraction?…

There are a lot of ways to decide if you should or should not introduce a song to your church. Singability, clear language, and a direct response to the things happening in the life of your church are just a few. But, there are a few sneaky characteristics of songs that sit in the back of your mind as you plan worship songs. Sometimes these characteristics cause you to not choose certain songs.

The thing is... they aren't legitimate reasons to not introduce a song to your church…

I challenge you to embrace your REAL role as worship leader tomorrow…

In the video, you'll learn all about the responsibilities you have as a worship leader. In the process, you'll learn the 3 things that AREN'T your job and the 3 things that ARE your job…

Do you understand what your responsibilities are as a worship leader? What should you be doing? What's your job?

I'm going to answer those questions tomorrow on the Leading Worship Well YouTube channel. "What Is A Worship Leader | The Top 3 Responsibilities Of A Worship Leader" premieres tomorrow at 3:30pm EST. But for now, it's so important that you understand what happens when you don't know what your role as worship leader actually is…

Most worship leaders wish they had more volunteers on their worship team. Maybe you want to add someone who can play an instrument that you don't currently have on your team. Maybe, if you just had a few more people, some of your current members could take a week off every once in a while. 

The thing is... it's hard to find new members for your worship team. So, how can you do it?…

Think about when you "spend money" on something. If you spend $500 on something, you want to make sure you're getting at least $500 of value out of it. What happens if you don't feel like you've gotten value? You're disappointed. You might return the item. And chances are, you'll never buy that thing again.

The same is true of your volunteer's time (it's called "spending time" for a reason - it's a currency that you spend just like money). If you haven't done everything on your part to make sure that the time they're spending is valuable, they'll be disappointed. They might start showing up late to rehearsals because they literally have "better ways to SPEND their time." And ultimately, they might simply stop volunteering. So how can you value your team's time instead of wasting it?…

I challenge you to take your trust of your worship team to the next level…

In this video, you'll learn all about how to lead a worship rehearsal.

In the process, you'll learn 5 things that you should include in your rehearsals. If you just have these 5 things, you'll have a great worship rehearsal that leads your team spiritually, relationally, and musically…

This weekend I have the opportunity to lead worship at an International Justice Mission Local Prayer Gathering. And it dawned on me that there are going to be a lot of people there that I don't really know. So, I found myself asking the question: how should I lead them differently? Maybe you've been in a similar situation…
