Worship Podcast
Corporate worship can have its awkward moments.
(Of course, none of this has happened to me).
The more I lead, the more I realize that a good leader works hard to avoid awkwardness.
That’s why they are a leader. Good worship leaders minimize distraction, focus attention on Jesus, and get out of the way when that starts to happen.
If you’re creative, there’s a tension you walk every day.
“How am I supposed to get all my ideas…done?” It’s challenging to balance a busy life with big dreams.
That’s why I wanted to chat with Michael Neale. Michael is a worship leader, bestselling author, award winning songwriter, speaker, and entrepreneur.
In this interview we cover a lot of ground – from being a creative in the local church to songwriting to worship leading to making your entrepreneurial vision happen. Guys, this is really valuable content.

Gungor. Vicky Beeching. Mark Driscoll. David Yonggi Cho. What do all these names have in common?
Controversy.
Of course, a blogger like myself could not go silent on these issues.
When situations like this arise, we are challenged, confused, disillusioned. We often resort to bashing, freaking out, and being disgusted (or excited) when a Christian celebrity falls.
When I think of the aforementioned names, I think of children of God who followed the call of God, were used mightily by God, and are being honest with their struggle.
Mistakes have been made, power has been abused. But that’s no excuse to write people off.
“The harder you try to be ‘good’, the worse it gets. The more you look at how good your Savior is, the more you will flow as an artist.”
This and more was a part of my conversation with Bob Fitts.
Bob has been a worship leader for over 30 years, having recorded albums with Integrity and Maranatha music.
Bob travels the world extensively to lead worship in many nations and I’ve always appreciated his passion for the love of God.
This was a great conversation as we tackle his start in worship ministry, what he’s learned about the worshiping church across the world, as well as plenty of golden nuggets for worship leaders.

If you’re a musician, you want to be original.
To have your sound. To be unique. The problem with being original is that it’s a myth. We are all a product of our influences.
Those who are considered the most original are those who know how to wield seemingly incompatible influences into something unique.
We all desire this. If you’re a worship leader, you want to lead with a unique style that is honest to your personality.
If you sing, drum, play guitar, or cello, you want to discover your unique tone and style.
But how do we “find our voice”? How do we discover our uniqueness?
