#183: Andi Rozier on Vertical Worship, Discipleship, & Why You Should Write Songs [Podcast]

God doesn’t want you to write songs to bless the Church, he wants you to write songs to spend time with you.” – Andi Rozier

I love Andi Rozier and what he has built with Vertical Worship. Vertical is an extension of the worship ministry at Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicago and for years, Andi has lead the charge.

His team leads so strong and writes some of the best songs for the church. This is a reflection on Andi and his leadership. He empowers others. He loves the church. He pastors. He loves people. This is what is needed out of our worship pastors. We can’t just have a passion for writing songs and making music. We need to love the people.

And Andi challenges us in this interview where we discuss leading a team, gaining momentum, writing songs, and more.

Enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by the Pads Live app from Coresound Pads.

Coresound Pads are my favorite pad loops on the market.  If you’re looking for a way to raise the quality and sound of your worship team, this is probably the easiest way to do that.

And Coresound now has a powerful, easy-to-use pads-player app called PADS LIVE that helps you transform your worship service’s atmosphere INSTANTLY by downloading and playing their top-rated pad loops on the fly from your mobile device.  This is an POWERFUL tool for worship leaders at any-size church.

If you go to PadsLive.com, you can link to download the app for FREE, which also comes with all of Coresound’s Pads in the key of D for free.  You can let the pads loop infinitely, crossfade gently into the next pad or into silence, and build songs & playlists.  And when you’re ready to unlock all 12 keys instead of just the key of D, you can purchase and download those pads directly within the app.

Now the app doesn’t take promo codes, BUT if you buy a Pads Bundle online from Coresound and use the promo code BEYONDSUNDAY, you’ll get an additional 20% off your purchase.  And your online purchase WILL unlock those very same pads within the app, as well as let you download the 20-minute MP3s to use the pads elsewhere.

In This Episode You’ll Hear More About:

  • Andi’s journey of worship & worship leading
  • Why the worship ministry isn’t the discipleship ministry of the church
  • Tips for multisite worship departments
  • The “It” factor that makes song easy to learn
