Worship Podcast
You know why I love the Bible?
It is filled with unlikely people who do extraordinary things.
The whole, “God uses the foolish things to shame the wise” thing? Yea, that’s me. And I know I’m in good company when it comes to Scripture. The Bible doesn’t put people’s best foot forward. It tells the truth.
And that truth can give you hope today.
By now you know that Sunday comes fast.
Just when you finished scheduling, picking out songs, rehearsing, and leading worship, it’s time to do it again.
Without an intentional discipleship strategy, without a plan, you’ll invariably resort to “pulling off Sunday” and using volunteers to get it done.
It’s nearly impossible to talk about modern worship at length without the words “Chris Tomlin” entering into the conversation.
His catchy, universal songs have made their way in the worship team repertoire of nearly every evangelical church across the world.
Excellence.
It’s a word we use a lot when it comes to our worship teams. Tight music. Slick arrangements. Synchronized lights. A thin layer of haze. Air tight programming of every service element.
But is there a limit to this creativity? Does there come a moment when it’s too much? When it becomes a distraction?
Worship Leader, it’s a new year.
A clean slate. The beginning of new opportunity.
Before you stress yourself out at all that needs to get done, I want to challenge you to do one thing. If possible, simplify your task list for today and just do this.
This exercise will help you enter the new year with confidence. It will help you operate from a place of vision, rather than a place of stress.
And, it will only take a half hour of your time. Trust me, this half hour just might make the biggest difference for your worship team this year.
What should you do?
