If you think a good worship rehearsal is all about getting the music right for Sunday, you're not alone.

I used to think the exact same thing.

But what I've learned is that great rehearsals go beyond just the songs. They focus on three key areas: the musical, the spiritual, and the relational sides of ministry…

I've seen it countless times: Every new worship leader focuses on just one thing for the first few years of their ministry—and it’s the wrong thing.

I know because I did it too.

For the first 10 years of my worship ministry, I focused on just one thing: the music.

But if we only focus on music, we end up leading services that lack purpose and spiritual depth…

We all agree that worship is more than just music, but have you ever been able to define what that "more than" actually is?

If we don't have a clear understanding of what else worship includes, we risk leading incomplete services that are more about singing than true worship…

We talk a lot about the heart of worship, but have you ever stopped to consider the actual content of the songs your church sings?

Should they be filled with deep theology, or more about expressing heartfelt affection for God?…

Ever feel like your church just isn’t engaging in worship the way you’d like them to?

You look out and see people with hands in their pockets. Their mouths are closed. Blank faces staring back at you.

Let me assure you: it’s not because you don’t have a drummer. (You know we can worship without a drum set right?)

But there are 13 common reasons people don’t engage in worship…

I’ve been leading worship for almost 20 years now. Looking back there are some things I wish I changed sooner.

In fact, there are 5 habits I wish I would have started at the beginning of my worship leading journey.

These would have made my early years of worship leading so much easier…

About six months ago, I went through a really tough time with my voice. I completely destroyed it and had to stop singing for about three or four months. It was a scary and painful experience, but thankfully, I'm now singing almost normally, and even stronger than before!…

Have you ever struggled with what to say between songs during worship? It's more than just filling silence; these moments are powerful opportunities to lead your congregation.

This week, I'm sharing five Bible verses you can use as speaking transitions this Sunday…

We hear the word "excellence" a lot in worship ministry. "We're aiming for excellence!" But what does that actually mean? Is it just about being musically impressive, or is there a deeper, more biblical definition we should be striving for?…

Ever wondered how a part-time worship leader manages to keep everything running smoothly? This week, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing exactly how I structure my 20-hour work week to lead the worship ministry at my church…

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…
