I challenge you to ask "Why do we do what we do?" before you lead worship tomorrow…

This past week, I started in a new worship leading position at a new church.

I thought it'd be fun to vlog my first week and show you a behind the scenes - week in the life of a worship leader…

Sometimes improving your worship leading is less about learning a new skill and more about learning a new way of thinking.

When you shift your mindset - instead of just improving ONE area of worship leading - you improve several areas at once. Every decision you make can be filtered through this new mindset.

The result? Huge improvements in your worship leading simply by THINKING about things differently…

For those of you who didn't hear, I started a new worship leading job last week! You can read more about it in last week's post

Over these past 10 months of not leading worship, I've had a lot of time to reflect. And as I started the journey of getting back into professional ministry (I don't know if I like that term but I don't know what else to call it) - I've thought a lot about what I'd like to do differently in this season of ministry…

I challenge you to see your worship service through the eyes of someone who is there for the first time…

This is a picture of a young 15 year old Spencer Cormany leading worship.

Last week I went up to my old church camp. It got me thinking about that younger Spencer Cormany... and how little he knew about worship leading.

I thought I knew so much but, 14 years later, I realize that there is still so much more to learn…

Guys! Big ANNOUNCEMENT! I got a new job!

As many of you know, about 10 months ago I stepped away from a position as full-time worship pastor. In the process, I've enjoyed a nice LONG break from regularly leading worship…

The longer you serve in ministry, the more time false narratives have to develop.

What happens is you exchange what is REAL for what you WISH WAS REAL.

Before you continue reading this post, hear me out: I'm not looking to destroy your worship leading hopes and dreams BUT I am a realist…

I challenge you to figure out what your set list is communicating before you lead tomorrow…

Leading children in worship can be difficult. It's DIFFERENT than leading in a typical Sunday morning gathering.

If you want to lead worship well, you've got to understand the context that you're leading in…

If you're like most worship leaders, you've probably NEVER had to deal with conflict before... just kidding!

Any time you get a group of people together in any capacity, conflict will eventually arise.

As leaders, we need to know how to deal with it…

What if I told you that the BEST MINISTRY doesn't happen at your church building? Let me explain.

The longer I'm in ministry the more I see the importance of ministry OUTSIDE of Sunday mornings. And, more specifically, OUTSIDE of a church building.

And I'm not JUST talking about evangelism - of course this applies to that as well. But, ministry outside of the church building is equally as important for the members of your church…

I challenge you to pray this prayer before you lead worship tomorrow…

You finish your last song before the message and your pastor walks up on stage. You find your seat in the congregation... now what?

Obviously, you can sit there and listen to your pastor preach along with the rest of your church.

But what if there were other things you could do that would help you lead worship well when you come up to lead that final song or two after your pastor is done?…
