Brad & Rebekah are full-time traveling worship leaders. They write their own music, do their own booking, social media, graphics, & a host of other things. What I appreciate about these guys is that they work extremely hard at what they do. While their core value is to trust God and rely on Him to open doors for new opportunities, they are not passive about it. They go for it.
I wanted to record this interview for a couple reasons. First, I want you to get to know Brad & Rebekah. Buy their music. Lead their songs. Consider inviting them to lead worship at your church. You won’t regret it.
Also, maybe you would like to tour someday. Hopefully you can glean some insight into what it takes.
Here are the three poins Brad outlines to be a successful touring artist:
- REASON – the “why” behind the “what”
- WILLINGNESS – to serve wherever, no matter how small. Excellence in the little things.
- HARD WORK – develop an ‘up-to-date’ social media platform, contact hundreds of churches, write songs, network.
Question: If you tour, what are the key things that make you successful? If not, do you have any desire to tour someday?
I think that it would be awesome to tour…however, God is not calling me right now to do that full-time.
Great stuff! Appreciate the advice.
No problem bro! Go do it!
Thanks for the interview and links to Brad & Rebekah.
I’ve known Rebekah since she was a little girl, and it’s amazing to see what the Lord is doing through her (and Brad, of course!)
What a pleasant surprise to see her beautiful face on the blog!!!
Glad you liked it. They are such great friends.
My wife and I have been traveling (leading worship, playing concerts, and preaching) full time for just over 3 years (with our 5 kids), and I can echo this interview. It was also an encouragement(still working on getting up to speed with the social networking stuff). Thanks for introducing us to them!
No problem, Thomas! Wow, on the road with 5 kids. How do you do it? Glad the interview could help.
