CMB 028 : Beyond Sunday with Worship Pastor David Santistevan

On session 28 of the podcast, I had fellow worship pastor, songwriter, blogger, and podcaster, David Santistevan. We have a couple things in common, and wanted to get the word out on our end about what he’s up to.

One of the many things that I love about this guy is his passion for vision. Vision is a word that you hear a lot these days - especially in leadership circles. Having vision and a clear picture of what your purpose is, leads to more focus, productivity, and having more to leverage in your life for the glory of God. I’ve talked about vision before on the podcast, but I’d like to highlight the unique way that David says it.

Simply put: Thinking beyond Sunday.

Three words that pastors, and church leaders, (including worship leaders and musicians in the church) immediately resonate with. Leaders long for being more on top of it, more organized, more planned ahead.

David’s e-book and podcast with the same title, Beyond Sunday, is all about this. And in our conversation, it's what we hone in on the most.

If you're not a "worship leader", don't tune out. There are still principles that you can apply.
