Worship Podcast
Sometimes I’ll ask the guests on my podcast, “When you think of the word ‘successful’ who is the first person that comes to mind?”
Often, they are taken off guard and feel a little awkward. I love the question because successful means different things to different people. I become a better person when I learn about what other people value.
After hearing of the dissemination of Mars Hill Church after Mark Driscoll’s resignation, my heart sank.
It’s sad to see an organization rise on fall on the personality of one leader.
New isn’t bad, by any means.
New songs, new instruments, new systems, and new gear may be on your worship team agenda for 2015. That’s great. But there’s something cannot be forgotten.
When we gather to worship, what are we really hungry for? Why are we there? What is the goal?
Ever feel like you’re all alone and no one understands?
It’s impossible to serve and labor in the local church and not be discouraged at times.
I feel there is a unique discouragement for worship leaders due to the nature of combining art and ministry.
Are we artists or are we pastors? Are we creatives or are we managers?
Do we make art or do we lead and mobilize people?
For most of us, the answer to these questions is “yes.” We juggle numerous identities in one multi-faceted job description.
