When Worship Leaders and Senior Pastors Clash

We were observing a Sunday morning rehearsal.

"Why didn't you tell me about this before?" said the flustered senior pastor to the worship leader. A couple of times.

We thought they might come to blows, and the worship leader was visibly livid.

I Am Compelled

While training audio teams, I often interact with what I have come to call Sound Janitors.

I Didn't Know It Was Keeping Me From Being More Effective

I’ve been getting up at 4:30 AM the last couple of weeks to spend quiet, uninterrupted time writing and editing my past Fertilizers.

The Great Reset

Maybe we feel disoriented because God is trying to reorient us.

As churches, we’ve been forced to rethink virtually everything about our weekly gathering rhythms.

Lucas

Lucas. Now you know how to say Luke in Spanish. Well, only if you pronounce it Spanishy.

But do we know what to do when a messenger from God shows up when we’re just doing our weekly service?

Control

“You tend to feel in control of your life when our wills are in harmony.” - God (via Sarah Young)

Control. Remember that feeling?

Take it or Leave it

I was leading worship, and I felt like the congregation could take it or leave it. 💔

Angels on the Road

In Costa Rica, I am pleasantly surprised at how kind drivers are. They let each other into traffic. They honk, wave, or flash their lights to give you the right of way.

Or Just Be Random and Chaotic

I just learned the other day that one of the team members at one of my former churches took a break from the team and never came back. She’s at another church now.

It All Comes Down to This

Imagine calling yourself a chef. You have libraries of cookbooks…that you’ve actually read. You watch every show on Food Network and have even met some of the stars! You can even guess at the beginning of the show who’s going to get Chopped. You grocery shop and fill your pantries with supplies. You just love the smell of food cooking.
