We made it! 2020 is 99% in the rearview mirror. Phew!

I want to invite you into hope. Into a world with less anxiety. Into a less distracted, more purposeful, wildly optimistic living.

I ask myself “Where are the other leaders at the church?”

This year has been both a punch to the gut and a kick in the pants. How are you responding?

As a leader, uncertainty is your life. It’s your sweet spot.

We often misunderstand equality, authority, and equity in the conversation about women in church leadership.

Losing our normal, hurts. We had rhythms. We had reasonably certain expectations. How should we, as worshiping Christians, grieve our loss of normalcy?

I was leading worship for a group of YWAMers this week, and in my first song, I noticed that my left hand had a tight grip on the neck of the guitar.

Long trials require exceptional resilience, a healthy perspective, and an ability to stick with it. But we never thought we were in a sprint, did we?

I love worshiping with blind trust.

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

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.

Imagine your worship team on a retreat. On a missional retreat in Costa Rica.

Steve, my brother-in-law, is a farmer.

What am I taking to heart?

Serving in worship can be grueling.

Do you have a Sound Janitor at your church?

You can't make music if you are focusing only on your instrument. You have to listen and respond to the rest of the band for it to be music.

More and more worship teams are beginning to play with a click.

What has been getting me out of bed on these cold, dark winter mornings?
