Worship Podcast & Blog
On a recent blog post we discussed how to navigate the massive sea of worship songs and pick the best ones.
As worship leaders we need to be intentional about how we choose our songs. But the questieon still remains:
Where? Where do I look to find songs?
A valid question. The internet is a big place and knowing where to look is half the battle. Below is a brief list of ways I discover new music.
But get your comments ready, because I want to hear how you discover new music.
I’m often asked how I choose songs.
Let’s face it. There are thousands upon thousands of worship songs. Even with all of us combined, we could never sing them all.
There are many worship songs I like that I never lead. There’s also a lot of worship songs others lead that I don’t like.
I have a specific criteria for how I choose them.
These 8 questions give me a framework for choosing songs. I hope they’ll help you too.
I love to read.
It’s not odd for me to be juggling four or five books at the same time. But the problem is that it creates a gnawing sense of stress.
In the back of my mind, I’m thinking about how I rarely finish books. Or apply anything.
The idea of flowing in the Spirit can be a turn-off to many.
We’ve seen enough crazies to know we don’t want to be “that guy.”
The problem is that worship isn’t simply a performance of worship songs. It’s participation in the living, ever-present, life-changing presence of God.
Yea, that changes things.
In today’s episode, that’s what we discuss. There’s also an interview with Shalon Palmer, creator of a great new flow resource called Pad Loops.

One of the hallmarks of a great leader is communication.
If a leader doesn’t communicate a vision or keep followers in the loop as to what is coming next, team members will disengage. Even worse, they will come up with their own vision of what is going on.
That’s why I love Planning Center.
