Worship Podcast
Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a worship team where little or no complaining happens?
Where your band shows up fully prepared and fully responsible?
This has less to do with the quality of your players and more with how you manage your energy as a leader.
You have the power to unleash the full creative potential of your team, or the power to completely squash it.
Don’t you love leadership?

Everyone in the world knows you need to practice to get better.
If you want to be a better worship leader, you have to practice. If you want to be a better drummer, you must practice. If you want to be good at just about anything, it will take practice.
But why do some really practice and others don’t?
I have friends who can do a lot because they’ve worked hard to develop skills. I know others who seem to avoid anything that is difficult and therefore don’t have many skills.
Why do we avoid practice?
Waiting on God is an interesting phenomenon.
I’ve heard that phrase used my whole life. I’ve heard it used as a code word in corporate worship for “we don’t know what to do right now.”
I’ve seen it used as a prayer. And I’ve seen it used by young people who are scared to make a decision and need someone to blame for their inaction.
But what does “waiting on the Lord” really mean? We can’t just abolish the idea because it is very prevalent in Scripture:
It’s scary how life and ministry can be about a lot of things – but we can miss the person of Jesus.
In our busyness to do His work, we can lose sight of his very real presence in our communities.
Today I talk with Evan Wickham about this and a whole lot more. Evan is a fantastic songwriter, worship leader, and pastor in the Portland area.
Don’t miss his new record, Make Us One, and the interview here:

There comes a time in everyone’s life that no one looks forward to.
That time where the train takes off. Life moves at deafening speeds. Where at one point you were on the front lines of ministry, it seems you’re now being replaced with younger people.
You’re struggling to keep up. You’re getting older.
