What’s your worship team like? And by “worship team,” I mean the musicians and techs together.

Are you like a Worship Family? A Worship Indie Band? A Worship Elevator? Let me describe each one.

Praising by only singing is like golfing with only a putter, baking using only a ¼ cup measuring cup, drawing a rainbow with only a blue crayon, or fixing a car with only a ½” wrench.

In the middle of your day. When you’re too busy to stop. When the pressure of the moment is all you can feel. When your dryness defines you. When you lack in zeal in serving the Lord.

How modest is modest enough? The most common internal answer is “the same as me or more modest than me.”

“So let me see by a show of hands,” I once asked when leading worship, “how many of you have never raised your hands in worship before?”

(now that wasn’t so bad, was it?)

What if our singers’ primary role is to prophesy, to declare the emotion and heart of God?

I know the need for watering, fertilizing, and generally tending to the gardens (metaphorical as mine may be) are upon us every spring and summer.

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?

What if worship is display? Are you comfortable with that?

Why do I need to know how to build a song?

Because knowing how to build songs enables…so many things.

Do you wish that rehearsal would go deeper than just pulling the music together?

I was planning a worship set. Feeling crushing pressure and tension.
