Over the past several years, I've put out a lot of information about worship leading. Like 250,000 words and 150+ videos worth of information!

Not only that, you probably follow several other worship leading resources that put out a similar amount of information.

In the sea of information, it can be hard to apply what you learn.

Most people in the Church are afraid to talk about money... but I'm not!

I think a proper understanding of personal finance is one of the most important keys to your success in professional ministry.

There's A LOT to do in worship ministry.

You've got songs to plan. You've got chord charts to create. You've got rehearsals to prepare for. You've got speaking transitions to craft. You've got lyric slides to create. Need I continue?

There's a principle I try to live my life by: good things lead to good things.
