Over the past few years, I've made one significant shift in how I approach worship leading, and the impact has been incredible.

It's made everything feel more grounded, more purposeful, and ultimately, so much better.

I truly believe that if you embrace this same change, it will revolutionize your worship ministry as well…

Ever feel like your speaking transitions during the worship service just... fall flat? Like they don't quite connect with the congregation?

You're not alone. I've noticed a very common mistake that many worship leaders (myself included at times!) make when speaking between songs.

It's a subtle thing, but it can make a HUGE difference in how the message of Scripture resonates with your church…

I have a confession to make. For the past six years on this channel, there's something crucial I've severely neglected to talk about in worship ministry.

It's so fundamental, so vital to everything we do, that I can't believe I haven't addressed it properly until now…

Ever feel like you're constantly scrambling to prepare for Sunday because your worship leader isn't getting you the resources you need?

It's one of the TOP questions I get from worship team members, and it's a frustrating place to be. You want to serve well, but it feels like you're being set up to fail…

I recently did something a little unconventional for the Leading Worship Well channel: I had a conversation with AI (Google's Gemini) about Christian worship.

I went into it with a healthy dose of skepticism, not looking for definitive answers, but wanting to explore its perspective and see where the discussion would lead…

Are you a worship leader OR a worship pastor?

There's a difference, and it's time we talked about it.

Last year, Matt Redman put out an article calling for theologians to help worship leaders.

But what if we stopped asking for help and started becoming theologically grounded ourselves?…

Worship leader, is your love for music overshadowing your love for worship?

It's a tough question, but one we need to ask.

Are you more obsessed with gear than God?

Do you ignore other elements of our worship?…

Ever stopped to wonder why we sing in church?

It's not just because some scientist told us that singing releases endorphins. It’s not simply because communal singing unites us.

There's something deeper, something rooted in scripture that most people miss…

Did you know the Bible mentions 3 specific types of songs?

As musical worship leaders, we should probably understand what they are and what Paul is getting at when he mentions them…

I’ve led worship for 19 years - there’s one commitment that has had the biggest impact.

It’s not a secret. It’s not even original… it’s just reading my Bible every day.

If I could convince a new worship leader to do one thing. That would be it…

Every time someone new joins my worship team I tell them the same thing…

At first, they’re usually a little offended because I’m so blunt.

But I like to set my expectations upfront…

It hit me the other day... for years, I was just planning songs for Sunday.

I’d pick out four or five songs, throw in a quick prayer, and call it a service.

But something was missing. And it was hurting my church in the process…

There’s one worship leader I look up to. He’s my favorite worship leader.

I’m not going to tell you who he is quite yet…

I want to tell you ABOUT him first…

Easter planning has begun! (Maybe it started a while ago for you)

We’re about a month out from Easter and I’m sure you’ve got some big plans.

But! There are few things you absolutely cannot forget to do this Easter. In fact, I literally want to beg you to do them…

In the video, we’ll walk through the step-by-step process I use to make a chord chart for every new song my worship team learns…

There are certain things I talk about on my YouTube channel in pretty much every other video.

Care to guess what some of those things are?

The only reason I keep talking about them over and over again is because I think worship leaders need to hear them over and over again…

I played in bands pretty much my whole life… but I quit.

Several years ago, I woke up one morning, called my band members and said, “That’s it. I’m done.”

And I know a lot of other worship leaders play in bands as well…

It’s time to turn the lights on in your worship service…

There I said it.

Listen, I know that’s not a popular idea these days. And I was honestly in the same place you were just a few years ago.

But over the last couple of years, I’ve changed my mind and my church now worships with the lights on…

A couple months ago my voice cracked during a Sunday service. (I have video proof!)

It was during communion. I was singing Crown Him With Many Crowns (the Christmas version because this was back in December).

I made it to the 2nd or 3rd verse. Went for a high note. And… (squeak!)…

A few weeks ago I posted a video listing the 30 songs I sing at my church.

A lot of people were surprised that I only have 30 songs in my worship song repertoire.

And I realized that… maybe I’m a little crazy for only singing 30 songs in my church…
