Worship Podcast

Have you ever felt that your music was made for those outside the church walls?
Does your heart break for those who would never set foot within a church and clap and sing to modern worship songs?
If so, how do we reach them?
Did you know that only 1.7% of the population finishes projects?
It seems we have an incredible knack for starting things, yet a propensity to never see them through.
What is so difficult about finishing?
We never feel comfortable shipping our work – calling it complete. We are practicioners of procrastination.
Test yourself.
Remember the last time you shared what you were working on? What happened before you showed the world?
It probably sounded something like this:
You try to lower everyone’s expectations before you share, in case they don’t like it. If they aren’t impressed, you’re off the hook.

I love creativity.
There’s something special about encountering someone’s raw, passionate art. It can change your life. It has the potential to influence the way you see your day, the world, and eternity.
At least that was the case for me.
Worship. It’s a big deal these days, isn’t it?
Just hearing the word conjures up images of an industry – records, resources, world tours, conferences, and more songs than you can imagine.
You probably have a worship T-shirt. I even think Hanes is releasing a new line of worship boxer/briefs. OK, too far.
But in the midst of all the noise, do we really remember what worship is all about?
From David: Today’s post is a guest post from my friend Rob Still. Rob is a veteran worship leader who has a lot of experience engaging the next generation. Today’s post is a relevant post for us all, whether old or young, helping us engage the next generation in worship. See you in the comments!
I’d like to offer some thoughts and ideas to David’s post, “How Do You Engage A Younger Generation In Worship?”
He said:
“Older worship leader, they don’t hate you. They just have a hard time with your music. … How does a 45-60 year old worship leader engage a 14 year old in worship? Is it even possible?”
Good question – When are you too old to lead worship?
