Looking to attract more volunteers while strengthening the team you have? Sometimes all it takes is a little intentionality and evaluation of what you are doing as a leader.
Here’s why I would volunteer on your worship team:
7 Worship Blogs You Should Be Reading
In addition to reading your favorite blog in the blogosphere :), there are a few others that are seriously worth your time. Part of what makes a leader a great one is relentless learning. A great leader is never satisfied, never stagnant, but always pressing onto new things. One way I do that is through reading these blogs.

How To Craft A Worship Setlist That Flows
[This post is part of a series on Your Guide to Selecting and Leading Songs for Worship. Check out the rest here.]
Ever force a family member or friend to ride a roller coaster they didn’t want to ride? And they hated you for it? Sometimes our worship sets are like a crazy roller coaster…that people are forced to endure. Up, down, spinning around, stop, go, headache, whip, punch-myself-in-the-face-this-is-so-awful.
Why? Because there’s no continuity – no flow. It’s simply a hodge podge of songs. I’ve been in worship services (and led worship services) where this was the case. I’d rather not do it again.
What Trumpets and Conductors Can Teach You About Leading Worship
Do you know that your style of worship leading could be hindering people from entering in? Could it be that, good intentions and all, you are a distraction to worship? Before you write me off, consider the possibility and allow me to explain.
When you prepare your worship services, the first thoughts on your mind are probably not trumpet solos and conducting. At least that hasn’t been the case for me. But they both have important lessons to teach us on how to engage a congregation in worship effectively.
This topic of engaging a congregation has really stole my attention the past few months. I’m not content to just perform well. I want people to truly experience God. And based on the fact that you read this blog, I assume that’s your desire too.
Do You Have What it Takes To Tour Full Time? [Video]
Brad & Rebekah are full-time traveling worship leaders. They write their own music, do their own booking, social media, graphics, & a host of other things. What I appreciate about these guys is that they work extremely hard at what they do. While their core value is to trust God and rely on Him to open doors for new opportunities, they are not passive about it. They go for it.
I wanted to record this interview for a couple reasons. First, I want you to get to know Brad & Rebekah. Buy their music. Lead their songs. Consider inviting them to lead worship at your church. You won’t regret it.
Also, maybe you would like to tour someday. Hopefully you can glean some insight into what it takes.
Here are the three poins Brad outlines to be a successful touring artist:
- REASON – the “why” behind the “what”
- WILLINGNESS – to serve wherever, no matter how small. Excellence in the little things.
- HARD WORK – develop an ‘up-to-date’ social media platform, contact hundreds of churches, write songs, network.
Question: If you tour, what are the key things that make you successful? If not, do you have any desire to tour someday?
