What My Kids Are Teaching Me About Worship

I’ve learned that peoplewill forget what you said,people will forget what you did,but people will never forgethow you made them feel.

It’s fascinating to watch my kids grow up – to be on the other side, watching them experience life for the first time.

Just the other day Tyler was talking to Siri on my iPhone. This is a common occurrence. Both of my kids consider Siri a friend and it’s evidenced by the long conversations. At this particular moment, Tyler asked Siri for “Paw Patrol,” his favorite show. In an instant, Siri replies, “Looking up all the results for vagina.”

In that moment I realized the journey that awaited me as a parent. And I also realized it was time for Tyler and Siri to hang out a bit less.

Kids are constantly learning and so, so vulnerable. It’s really insane.

The Difference Between An Artist And A Worship Leader

the difference between

Sometimes I hate to lead worship. Why? Because nobody cares.

Nobody. cares. And that’s actually a very good thing.

  • Nobody cares about the songs you wrote.
  • Nobody cares about your flawless musical arrangements.
  • Nobody cares about how you look.
  • Nobody cares how much you know.
  • Nobody cares how many mistakes you make.

What do people care about?

  • They care about connecting with Jesus.
  • They care about finding their purpose.
  • They care about the peace of God.
  • They care about knowing and believing the truth.
  • They care about their lives being a part of something bigger.

That’s the difference between an artist building a fanbase and a worship leader serving a community. It’s a different skill set. It’s a different goal.

The priority is Jesus.” – Brock Shinen

One of the questions I receive the most is, “How do I go about copyrighting the songs I’m writing for my local church.” Well, I’m not the expert. But my guest on today’s show is. Brock Shinen is an Intellectual Property attorney who works with artists, churches, authors, and organizations surrounding this whole daunting concept.

I love Brock for this expertise and also for his love for Jesus. He works with Jesus Culture as one of his clients and is committed to the Kingdom of God.

If you are a songwriter, you need to listen to this and share it with 4,000 of your songwriting friends 🙂
