Do you see what I sing?

When was the last time you took a breath, ready to sing the next line, only to slowly exhale, mumble, or watermelon through the next line because the words weren’t up in time?

Mix Theology

Subscribe to the free Worship Fertilizer

You might think of fertilizer as something you put in your garden or on your lawn. True. But a more accurate picture of what you’re growing in worship ministry is this: trees. Trees take time. Lots of time. With regular care, trees grow into shade-giving, fruit-yielding, landscape-beautifying plants. The Worship Fertilizer is a weekly email designed to encourage the hearts and equip the hands of the musicians, techs, and leaders on worship teams.

Zero spam, ever!

Thank you!
