Worship Podcast
Don’t let anyone tell you you’re not qualified.
You can do whatever you want.
Don’t wait till you have your doctorate or you’ve got 15 years of experience under your belt. Do the impossible today. Go for it.
But there is something you do need. Without this you will fail. To ignore it will lead to your eventual demise.
Let’s face the facts. Wake up to reality.
Sometimes Sunday comes and the last thing you want to do is lead worship.
You feel depressed. You’re annoyed with how things have been going. The stress level is high. Or you’re just feeling lazy, right?
You’d rather stay home and watch LOST reruns for a week. Or a month. Or take a sabbatical for a while.
What do you do in that situation?
If you’ve been online at all in the last month, you’ve probably heard the name Blaine Hogan.
That’s a good thing.
Because Blaine just released a book that you need to pick up. It’s one of the best books on creativity that I’ve ever read.
Blaine is the creative director at Willow Creek Community Church.
I had the privilege of asking him a few questions related to his book, creativity, the church, and worship.
Sometimes I hate blogging.
Sometimes I hate meetings.
Sometimes I hate talking.
Why?
It’s too easy to hide behind ideas and not actually do something.
We’ve all been there.
You’ve rehearsed the new songs for weeks. The bass line is killer. Harmonies tight.
The loop you you labored over for 49 days makes you prouder than a Dad at his son’s first baseball game.
You’re ready.
You lead worship and the congregation cheers wildly at your incredible performance.
Except for the fact that they don’t. At all.
