How do you know when you’re going from being detail-oriented, exacting, meticulous, and nuanced to... nitpicking? Where’s the line?

Every Fader must answer this critical question.

I’m inviting you to a worship training event on April 5th in Lancaster, PA.

A worship leader sent me this question: “Our team has been growing in building musical dynamics that really create openings for people to enter in.”

The Five Faders is the single concept that will likely create the most dramatic, positive change in your leadership and your team’s health.

When I was a kid, I hated tomatoes.

We have lovely conversations around our dining room table. And not a small handful of odd ones. This Monday’s breakfast was no exception.

Do you love rehearsals as much as I do? I admit sometimes they are more fun than the actual service.

I’m working with a worship team that has been trained well.

How do you un-train vibrato from someone’s voice so they can sing as a modern worship team vocalist?
