What Are You Returning to the Kingdom?

/in , /by

Several years ago a producer friend of mine from Nashville asked me to write and record a worship album for his label.  (No – this is not a joke – ha!)

I was honored – he is a Grammy-nominated producer, has big distribution channels, and frankly he’s a good friend so I really wanted to do it.

I had a choice to make . . . I could do the album OR I could start WorshipLeaderInsights.com and train worship leaders. I simply didn’t have time for both (and working full time at The Journey).

To keep this brief . . . I don’t have a worship album in Walmart. 🙂

Grow Your Worship Team this Week

If you are familiar with the “How to Double Your Worship Team in a Day” resource, you know that the Worship Arts Reception is one of the KEY STRATEGIES that I use to involve new people in ministry on our Worship Arts Team.

It’s basically a short, 30-minute party that I host twice a year after the service and invite people who are interested in serving on the Worship Arts Team to attend.Sounds easy, right . . . that’s because it is :-)But it’s also powerful!In fact I’ve found that nearly 50% of the people who sign up for our big day of auditions do so at a Worship Arts Overview Reception.
