Worship Podcast
We’ve all been there.
Sunday is almost here and we’re not quite sure what to sing. What do we do? Throw it together.
When in doubt, just find some killer songs and sing them, right?
But what about being present? If you think about it, every service is unique. Never again will that exact group of people gather together at that exact place at that exact time.
It’s about presence – being present.

For you worship leaders, I am considering hosting a meetup in the evening after the conference. If you are interested, please email me or leave a comment for more details. Will be great fun!
Worship leading isn’t just a role for the musically talented.
It’s not a gig for the artsy people in your church.
It’s about pastoring, teaching, and equipping. And in order to do that with effectiveness, you need to know Scripture.
For this episode of the Beyond Sunday podcast I was privileged to sit down with Aaron Keyes. Aaron is a powerful worship leader, teacher, and songwriter.
I can’t say enough about our conversation. So real, powerful and refreshing.
We chatted about everything from discipling worship leaders to the priority of Scripture to songwriting tools/resources to being inspired.
Take a listen and leave a comment, letting me us know what you took away from the interview!
Art is chaotic.
But it never looks like that from afar. When we think of writers, for example, we picture log cabins, snow capped mountains, and endless days to craft a masterpiece beside a roaring fire.
For me? It’s a frantic challenge to find the time in the midst of a busy life. Total chaos.
We all know we’re supposed to love Scripture – to meditate on it day and night, as Joshua tells us.
We’re supposed to read it, memorize it, quote it, write it, and place it on our walls.
But how many of us really do? On our worship teams, how rooted and connected to Scripture are we?
This is what fills my mind and heart today.
If I’m going to disciple my team, they need to grow in their love of Scripture.
Their lives must be rooted in God’s Word.
But in our worship teams, Scripture is oftentimes a passing glance, a quick reference, an in-one-ear-out-the-other system.
We’d much rather talk about gear, arrangements, excellence, and creativity. But in all honesty, our souls are starving for something more.
