It seems like, if you could just find more people to join your worship team, it would solve your problems. Your team would sound fuller. You wouldn't have to worry about if you were going to have a full team on Sunday. And... maybe you could actually take a week off…

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.

Summer break is over and school is back in session. For many churches, that means that they've started their midweek gatherings back up again. Youth group, small groups, bible studies - whatever you're doing at your church in the middle of the week is a great opportunity you can utilize to grow your worship ministry. A smaller environment affords you the ability to take risks and try new things out that you might not feel comfortable jumping head first into on a Sunday morning…

Ever show up to church on a Sunday morning and you're just "not feeling it?" Well the good news is that God can still work even we don't feel up to the task. BUT - there are certain things that you can do to start your Sunday morning off right…

I challenge you to take notes while your pastor is preaching tomorrow…

It's a common story: you start leading worship at your church. You lead a song here and there. Then, you start leading more regularly. Eventually you realize that you not only have the responsibility of leading your church in worship every Sunday, you also have inherited a worship TEAM that you get to lead as well. The problem is: you weren't expecting it. Maybe you don't even feel ready or equipped to lead that team. So, how can you lead them well?…

You've heard the recommendation a million times: Worship leaders, memorize your music and get rid of your music stands.

And maybe you're on board. Maybe you want to do it but you're just not sure how. There's no doubt that it can be intimidating to memorize your music. What if you play the wrong chords? What if you completely blank out on a section of a song?…

The time right after your pastor preaches is the perfect time for you to give the people of your church an opportunity to respond to what they've just heard…

You know how it goes - you send out the song list and anxiously await your midweek rehearsal. The day of rehearsal you get there early and greet your team as they slowly filter in. Once everyone is there, you pray and go to run through your first song and you quickly realize: No one knows their part. So, what do you do? You spend the rest of rehearsal starting and stopping a million times trying to teach people their parts and giving them time to practice what they should have done before they came to rehearsal…
