What if our singers’ primary role is to prophesy, to declare the emotion and heart of God?

Going it alone really, really stinks! Oh, it can kill you too. You may have friendly people on your teams, but how do you become true friends?

Have you ever been frustrated, confused, or saddened by a lack of response from the congregation you’re leading in worship?

We know how to lead a worship set, a meeting, an event, or a moment.

What REALLY causes the “not enough musicians” syndrome?

Are you trying to figure out how to add more musicians to your teams? “We just don’t have any in our church.” Really?

Perhaps the reason growth is often slow or painful in churches is we’re so focused on keeping people happy and satisfied, we never have enough dissatisfaction to tip the scales for growth to happen.

Your team doesn’t “get” your ministry’s vision. Don’t believe me?

“If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.”
