Worship Podcast
Whether you are a worship leader, pastor, small group leader, board member, or elder in the church, it’s safe to say that you will be called upon to stand before a group of people and lead them in expressing worship to God.
You may or may not have a guitar around your neck or stand behind a keyboard, but effective worship leading doesn’t rely on those anyway.
Have you ever been told that listening to or playing secular music is wrong?
Have you ever wondered what it means to be a Christian musician in the “marketplace”?
We know it’s OK to play Christian music, but what about the Christian who sings, gigs, and performs in the “world”? What are the differences between a musician who is a Christian and one who is not?
Should there be a difference or is it simply a job for both?
This is the tension we find ourselves in today.
Will you help me tackle this?
You may not want to speak professionally for a living.
You may not be a senior pastor, a keynote speaker, or a high school physics professor, but at one point or another you will have to teach somebody something.

Wouldn’t you like to be the best you can be? Read on.
I remember the time when I wanted to give up. I was finished. Done.
Exhausted, burned out, tired of busting my butt for what appeared to be no reason.
I guess you could say I was wrong. In my exhaustion, God was using me to mentor – to inspire and develop young worship leaders.
When I grasped what was happening, I discovered a passion I never knew existed.
After a while, it becomes easy to not worship.
Easy to go through the motions.
Easy to do the “church thing” and live for your day off.
Easy to stand in the back, criticize, observe, and chill out.
