“The only art I’ll every study is stuff that I can steal from.” – David Bowie
I don’t know about you, but I don’t consider myself very creative. When I listen to another songwriter, I think “Why didn’t I think of that?” When I hear a great band I get depressed, wondering, “I have no idea how to do that.”
But you can increase your creativity. Creativity isn’t a gift you’re born with – it’s a discipline you cultivate.
Want to increase your confidence as a worship leader?
Find a quiet place.
Wash your heart in the water of His word.
Fix your gaze upon Jesus.
Look steadily upon His worth, His beauty, His kindness, His love, His excellence.
When you feel tempted to move on to more “productive” tasks, force yourself to stay a little longer.
There’s nothing more productive in all the world.
I suppose it happens to all of us.
You’re under the spotlight. The congregation is singing. Everyone is having a good time.
But in the end…is God truly being worshiped?
Because it’s possible for your band to be tight with musical chemistry.
You congregation singing at the top of their lungs.
Everyone can be dancing, shouting, lifting their hands and… the glory of God be completely ignored.
“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage.” – Benjamin Mee
Do you know how many ideas there are in the world? Too many to count.
What we’re missing is people with the courage to act. More than we need your brilliant ideas, we need your resilience to make them happen.
Today I have the privilege of interviewing one of my favorite bands in the world, Future of Forestry.
Every album of theirs is special and their newest, “Young Man Follow”, does not disappoint. I was able to chat with Eric Owyoung – the mastermind behind this incredible, experimental, musical bliss.
At the end of this post, I will show you how you can win one of 5 copies.
