“Man, this is Organized!”

“Man, this is organized!”

Those are the words of a guest worship leader that I recently asked to lead at The Journey.

After joining us for load-in, set-up, our timed sound checks, focus time, and cue-to-cue he told me backstage that it was one of the most organized and efficient Sunday morning run-throughs he had experienced. And because the level of stress was low, everyone on the team was able to focus on their role as lead worshippers that morning.

I’ll be honest . . . it made me proud of our church. We have incredible volunteers who work hard and our system for staying on track and reducing the stress of Sunday had struck him as something out of the ordinary.

I tell you that to tell you this . . . recently I had the opportunity to be a guest worship leader at a friend’s church. Unfortunately, I didn’t walk away with the same feeling. All the volunteers were great, the church was great. But that Sunday morning was stressful and you could see it on everyone’s face. The service went fine, but it took a lot of energy to pull all the last minute details together in the minutes before the service.

It got me thinking . . . why the distinct difference in experiences? It wasn’t the hearts of the volunteers. They both had hearts of gold. It wasn’t the equipment. Both churches had the equipment needed for excellent services.

As I dug deeper into it the answer finally emerged. The difference wasn’t in what was happening on Sunday, but in what had happened long before we got to Sunday.

The difference was in how we saw the worship planning process.

Believe it or not, the experiences would have been much more alike if it hadn’t been for 3 BIG differences in the worship planning process.

Unfortunately, I see these 3 differences in many of the churches that I talk with and coach. These differences are really not differences of philosophy, but rather simple (but costly) mistakes that can be corrected quickly.

There’s more to it than what I can explain in this email, and that’s why I want to invite you to join me for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, September 21 OR Tuesday, September 27 where I will not only reveal these 3 mistakes, but also teach you how to avoid them in your worship planning process.

Here’s a sample of what I want to share with you:

 

• How to identify the TOP 3 OBSTACLES that are keeping you from planning the worship services you want to have in your church.
• How to work together with your Pastor / Worship Leader to create powerful worship experiences every week.
• How to break the week-to-week mindset and begin creating “WOW” moments in worship
• The Paradigm Shift that will TRANSFORM how you plan worship services.
• How to overcome procrastination and eliminate the stress of last minute planning!
• And much more!

In this new 75-minute webinar you will discover how to overcome the Top 3 Mistakes that are keeping you from making your worship services the very best they can be.

My next Tele-Coaching network begins in less than 45 days and it’s already more than half full. The coaching network is not right for everyone, but I would love to hold a spot for you if you have a high commitment to growth and are passionate about becoming all that God has called you to be in ministry.

You can join with a group of other top-notch worship leaders over the next 12 months for an accelerated course in personal and ministry growth in my new Coaching Network starting on Friday, October 14.

In the coaching network I will teach you the systems that we have developed here at The Journey Church and that are being used by thousands of churches nationwide. These systems will help you overcome:

• The Personal Challenge – How to develop personal leadership growth habits that help you lead at an optimum level
• The Pastor Challenge – How to give the Lead Pastor exactly what he needs from the Worship Pastor
• The Planning Challenge – How to plan farther ahead than ever before, and create more impactful services than ever before.
• The People Challenge – How to maximize the number of people serving on your worship arts team, AND how to lead your team at the next level
  
• The Provision Challenge – How to make the most of the resources spent on the Sunday service for now and the future
• The Professionalism Challenge – How to create an atmosphere of excellence for yourself and your volunteers
• The Production Challenge – How to ensure that every Sunday service is successfully planned for and executed

I walk along side of you for a FULL YEAR helping you implement these systems and grow in your leadership. It’s all Step-by-step, and very nuts and bolts.

The Coaching Network is NOT about information . . . it’s about IMPLEMENTATION. We’re on the phone together, and you receive personalized input from me and others on how to create and lead these systems.

There is a monthly investment involved. But it’s less than what you would invest in taking a few key team members with you to a major conference this year.

And here’s the difference…

• In the Coaching Network you get a FULL YEAR of hands on ministry training, not 3 days of crash course ideas with no path for implementation
• In the Coaching Network you receive over $1419.00 in free ministry and personal growth resources FREE. Try walking out of the resource center at the next big conference with that and see what they say.
• In the network you receive an mp3 of every session, so even if you miss one, you have all of the content.

You also receive:

• A proven coaching process that leads to growth and health (with nearly 200 Coaching Alumni, I’ve seen these systems work in churches of all styles, sizes, types and denominations)
  
• Unlimited email access to Jason Hatley and the Worship Leader insights (WLI) team
• A monthly small group environment where everyone is focused on a Kingdom agenda
• Free attendance at all WLI training events during your network
• Private “call-in” times with me to have your specific questions answered in more detail.
• The chance to grow and take your worship ministry to the next level
• A private weekend meeting in sunny south Florida in November, exclusively for Tele-coaching participants complete with training and a behind the scenes look at a Journey service – a $1500 value!
• Plus much, much more!

AND if you apply by Thursday, September 15 you will receive over $373.00 in bonus resources including:

 

• The Revolve: Changing the Way You See Worship Sermon Series, complete with message notes, sermon audio, worship orders, design files, and much more. ($99.95 Value)
• An Autographed copy of my new books, Engage: A Guide to Creating Life-Transforming Worship Services and Revolve: A New Way to See Worship being published by Baker this fall (a $23.98 value)
• A $100 VISA gift card from me for you and your spouse to use as you wish
• Free Dinner for you and your spouse with me and the WLI team on the night before the March 2012 live event in sunny south Florida ($150 Value)

The network begins in just a few weeks, so you MUST apply quickly.

In these networks which I’ve done for 5 years now, I’ve seen worship leaders

• more than double their worship teams over the course of the network
• dramatically increase their personal effectiveness,
• get more done in less time (i.e. go home to spend more time with family and friends)
• plan their worship services months even a year in advance
• overcome a major obstacle that was paralyzing them
• get on the same page with the pastor, plan worship together and get rid of the nagging tension that was under the surface of their working relationship

I can’t promise that all of these things will happen for you – it really depends on you and how seriously you take the network.

But if you are willing to do the work of personal and ministry growth this year, I want you to apply.

But I need you to apply quickly. Learn more and apply online or download and complete the application RIGHT NOW at www.worshipleaderinsights.com/coaching.

It’s that simple. I hope you will allow me the opportunity to coach you this year!
