“What if where you feel the tension you discover God’s intention for you?”

Next week, I fly to Columbus, Ohio, to encourage a worship and creative team. I’ll be rehearsing them and leading the Sunday services as part of the training weekend. In preparation, I’m sending them notes on one of the songs we’ll lead.

I was speaking with a church that has been without a staff worship leader for nearly a year.

I’ve been a church musician for 40 years. (since 1984)

Leadership is creational, meaning you create who you are and replicate what’s inside you.

Right now, you are feeling what you thought earlier. You believe what you think. This year, you’ll create the reality you’ve imagined.

One of the best things we can do today is sit down with our instrument to play and sing to the LORD.

I was talking with coach Walter K, and he was reveling in a simple idea that has made a significant difference in congregational engagement.

My three teenage children went to a youth camp recently.

Who Are You Chasing? New pedals?
Bethel’s vibe? Happiness? A bigger worship team?

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.

We live on a volcano. Don’t worry. It’s sleeping.

My dear friend, George Yellak, allowed me to eavesdrop on a conversation with one of his team members.

I found out about a recent conference called “ALTARS.”

I’m using an app on my iPhone to track my activity level.

We invited some friends over for Sunday brunch and worship at our farm.

On Sunday, we visited a church we hadn’t been to before. While the eight of us filed in a few minutes past starting time and found our seats in two rows, two leaders addressed the congregation.

I read a job description for a Director of Music and was struck by the first “Core Competency” required.

My wife has taught me many things.
