You don’t need more discipline in your life. You need more . . .
I’ll admit it – there are some things in my life that I’m disciplined in and some things I am not so much.

Did you know . . . This summer is the perfect time for your team to grow?
That’s the question I’ve been asking in Part 1 and Part 2 of this new series on How to Grow Yourself and Your Worship Team this summer.
The last two weeks I’ve challenged you to have a Passion for growth this summer and to partner with God in Praying for growth this summer. . . two very important parts of your growth plan.

So, this summer you have a choice to make. . . Read more
3 Things Every Worship Pastor Needs from their Lead Pastor
Last week we started a quick 2-week series on the Pastor / Worship Pastor Relationship by talking about what every Pastor needs from their Worship Pastor.
This week we turn the tables and I want to talk to Pastors about what your Worship Pastor needs from you. If you’re a worship pastor, feel free to print this out and “accidentally” leave a copy on your Pastor’s desk :-).
As I have always said, the most important relationship inside the church is the relationship between the Pastor and Worship Pastor. But it’s also a relationship that can hold a lot of tension. That tension MOST LIKELY comes from one specific thing:
