I sat around the table with my worship leader friends and asked them this question. “What’s it like when you schedule training for your team?”

The Educator is a Mentor that embodies wisdom and capability. They bring out the best in others, helping everyone to be well-equipped.

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 was twenty-six. Having recently moved cross-country, leaving the long summers of South Texas for the short ones of Pennsylvania, I was learning many new customs in this new culture.

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

Today, we highlight the strengths each Fader brings to preparing for great rehearsals.

Many of us hate personality tests because we feel like they box us in.

See creating chord charts through the eyes of each of the Five Faders.

See choosing songs through the eyes of each of the Five Faders.

See scheduling through the eyes of each of the Five Faders.

See auditions through the eyes of each of the Five Faders.

Today begins a series to teach you how each of the Five Faders accomplishes the tasks in our to-do lists.

How do you show up to rehearsals? Would you describe it as "fully prepared?"

I ask myself “Where are the other leaders at the church?”

Do you know which Sunday marks the end of the Church calendar year? (Did you know the church had its own calendar?!)

Praising by only singing is like golfing with only a putter, baking using only a ¼ cup measuring cup, drawing a rainbow with only a blue crayon, or fixing a car with only a ½” wrench.

Did you ever wish you could teach your worship team to have better musical instincts? You can!

How modest is modest enough? The most common internal answer is “the same as me or more modest than me.”

“So let me see by a show of hands,” I once asked when leading worship, “how many of you have never raised your hands in worship before?”

(now that wasn’t so bad, was it?)
