You know a professional musician when you see one.
Typically, they are booked solid. They can turn down the bad gigs because they have landed the best. But how can you get there? Well, it’s less about natural talent and more about how you think.
How To Build A Worship Team That Never Stops Growing
How would you like it if you had more musicians than you could handle?
What if your team was filled with passionate, skilled players who were invested in the vision of your church?
Not only is it possible, it’s where you should invest your best energy.
I’m at a place with my worship team where a transition is about to happen. The fall is almost here and you know what that means – college! A few of my best team members are leaving for school and I’m left with some gaps.
I’m sure you’re facing the same situation.
Since this is a normality when it comes to leading a worship team, you need to build a system where there is a constant influx of musicians.

What Does Holiness Have To Do With Our Worship?
From David: This is a guest post from Tyler Braun. Tyler is a pastor from Portland, Oregon whose first book, Why Holiness Matters, just released. You can find Tyler on Twitter or his blog, manofdepravity.com.
Worship in church can often become a frantic pursuit for an experience with God, instead of allowing Him to shape us.
Holiness, similarly, has always been presented as a frantic pursuit of right standing with God through legalistic measures.
Too often worship in life is only experienced for an hour on Sunday, when the band plays well. Holiness, even worse, has been abandoned as out of touch with reality and an impossibility in our culture.
We must reconsider all that we have left behind by ignoring a God who is holy and desires a holy people to worship Him.

That’s what this post is all about.
Do You Apply These 5 Tips For Developing Your Creativity?
“The only art I’ll every study is stuff that I can steal from.” – David Bowie
I don’t know about you, but I don’t consider myself very creative. When I listen to another songwriter, I think “Why didn’t I think of that?” When I hear a great band I get depressed, wondering, “I have no idea how to do that.”
But you can increase your creativity. Creativity isn’t a gift you’re born with – it’s a discipline you cultivate.
