Every leader disciple needs to learn how to work with people.

It took me quite a while to figure that out.

I got together with some friends and had seven gifts I wanted to give them. These gifts would provide a backdrop for testifying about what God had been doing. It was a real encouragement for us, and I wanted to bless you with those things.

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

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.

My typical planning schedule…

Why do we gather each week as a church?

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

But what about a team, a ministry, a department, an organization, or a decade?

As leaders, we must have the energy and determination to move large initiatives forward, to hold the line, and to shift cultures.

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.

When was the last time you worshiped with other believers? Wait, but I mean not at “your” church. I mean, when was the last time you joined believers outside of your congregation and fully engaged in worship in their Sunday morning worship gathering?”

So...when was the last time you dove in and really worshiped the Lord?

I was having a conversation with a worship team about how we connect with the Lord through worshiping together.

So, which of these phrases best reflects the way you serve together in your worship and technical arts ministry?

I’m really into lists.

I’m designed to improve things. It’s how I’m built, how I see things, how I listen, watch, and think.

Leading can be one of the loneliest roles. Doesn't have to be. Who's got your back? Join the [no lone rangers] movement!
