Worship Podcast
[This post is part of a series on Leading Your Team & Congregation Through Worship Tensions. Check out the rest here.]
There has always been a tension between crafting an effective songlist and flowing in the Spirit. We want to be organized, but we also want to follow what God is doing in the moment.
It’s important that you learn how to do this. Great worship leaders plan powerful setlists, but also follow the Holy Spirit, wherever He may lead.
This new blog series is all about the differences we have when it comes to worship. Head and heart. Skill and passion. Unbeliever and Christian.
We all come from many church traditions. Everywhere we’ve been affects what we believe and where we are going. What you value may be different than what I value.
The question is, do you now what you value? Why do you do the specific things you do as a worship leader? In this series we’ll face these tensions head on and discuss practical ways to lead our teams and our congregations through them.
I don’t know about you, but I want my ministry to extend far beyond my life. I want to make a mark on this world with hundreds of people by my side, rather than be standing alone with my “talents”.
There’s only so much that you and I can do alone. But when we adopt a lifestyle of discipleship, the difference can be exponential.
[This is part 2 of a two part series on Helping your Volunteers Feel Valuable & Significant. Check out Part 1 here.]
How many of you work with volunteers in your church? OK, ok, you can put your hands down.
How many of you wish volunteers would stay longer? Wow, OK.
Volunteer transition is part of the flow of the local church. Adjust your expectations to embrace that. However, creating systems and values that help your volunteers feel valued will go a long way to creating an unforgettable experience for them.
While social media can be a distraction in more ways than one, I think every worship leader should use it.
Not just as a time-waster, but as a way to improve your role as a worship leader in the local church.
