Worship Podcast
You know what the biggest problem with songwriters is? Simply put, their songs don’t get done.
Whatever the reason, notebooks remain filled with ideas, dreams never see reality, and the thoughts about “one day” recording a song continue.
While we’re talking about excuses, let’s add some more:
If you’ve been a musician for any length of time you’ve been a part of rehearsals that you wish you could leave.
Maybe the leader wasn’t prepared and there was no plan.
Maybe the band was simply terrible and it was impossible to get any chemistry going.
Maybe it just seemed to go on and on with no end in sight.
The goal of rehearsal isn’t just to get stuff done. It’s to form musicians into Jesus following, church loving, kingdom minded disciples (Tweet that?)
When you adopt this mindset, you begin to invest in people and not just your task list. You have more longevity with your team members. You have more fun. God blesses your efforts because it’s in line with what He already loves.

I have to be honest – I feel that music gets a bad rap when it comes to “Christian” circles.
We like to talk about how worship is not about music. That pursuing Jesus isn’t about the songs you sing. It’s inward, right?
But what about all the mentions of music throughout Scripture?
Psalm 150 commands us to “praise Him” with the sound of loud instruments.
Remember how King David organized thousands of full time musicians to stand before the Lord day and night?
Not only did he organize musicians – he created instruments for the purpose of praise (I Chronicles 23:5).
I think God has a thing for music. And in this post I want to explore why that is.
When it comes to worship leading influence, there’s a lot of things I notice in others (and myself).
Obviously, you are here – reading this blog.
All of these things are good – habits I keep myself. I like to keep a pulse on popular products, gadgets, and resources. But all of these things are not sufficient to help you become the best worship leader you can be.
It’s tough to be a worship leader today without the influence of Paul Baloche, whether you know it or not.
His songs have found their way into churches all over the world, along with his down-to-earth, practical training for worship teams. It was such an honor to talk with him about his new Live album and all things worship.
I love how Paul’s heart has always been for the Sunday morning worshiper and worship leader. That’s what this conversation is all about.
And, we’ll be giving away 3 copies of the CD/DVD combo if you leave a comment and share the interview. Don’t miss it!
