Worship Podcast & Blog
Lift up your eyes and look.
See the 80s rock & roll guitarist at the altar checking out your pedal board. He wants to talk to you about the good ole days.
Right beside him is the 14 year old, punk rock drummer twirling his sticks.
He doesn’t want to talk as much as he wants to sit behind your drum kit and show you how it’s done. But he’ll just want a few more toms and a double bass pedal before he does.
It’s the new guys.
Passion is a mysterious force. Sometimes you feel it. Sometimes you don’t.
Matter of fact, it’s very easy to lose passion for something that you’re passionate about.
I’m passionate about worship leading but I don’t always want to lead worship.
I’m passionate about Jesus, but I don’t always want to read my Bible.
What you decide to do in your passion-less moments is what will determine your effectiveness.
How many times have you said, “I wish I would have thought of that!”
How many times have you wondered, “How could something so simple become something so successful?”
Ideas.
We are all just one idea away from making it big – from creating that breakthrough product to crafting that perfect setlist to developing a discipleship strategy that is a unique game changer.
For those of you who downloaded my ebook yesterday, thank you.
Thank you for serving your local church so faithfully. Thanks for being a visionary leader. And thanks for helping make this community what it is. I appreciate you.
Today I wanted to present a follow up post to the message in Beyond Sunday.
There’s always a tendency among visionary leaders to lead from their task lists – to plow through and get things done. Many call it “hustle”.
It’s the place where we stop depending on God and simply work hard to achieve.
We forget that “all things are possible” with God and simply buckle down and work hard to accomplish goals.
If you’re a worship leader, routine is the name of the game. You pick songs, you program services, you rehearse your band, you lead worship on Sunday. Rinse and repeat.
But how do we move beyond the routine and really make a difference? How do we move beyond Sunday?
