In this episode of the Roundtable, Jake and I chat through the biggest roadblock that is prolonging your growth and your ministry's growth

and that is:

COMFORT

We chat through some of the high level ways that getting comfortable and not being able to get uncomfortable in your leadership can be the biggest roadblock to success.

We also try to give some tangible examples and a few next steps but ultimately we just hope this helps you begin to think critically about where you need to push yourself, lean in, do the uncomfortable thing to reach that next goal, to see that next season.

In this episode, Jake and I sit down and chat about worship leader tips that have nothing to do with worship leading, except they have EVERYTHING to do with worship leading.

It all boils down to the lessons we've learned about self care over the years of worship leading, but I think it'll help those listening who might just need a course correction, or a checkup on their own self care.

Take note of these tips, it will make you a better worship leader and make you a better disciple.

In this episode, Jake has a conversation with Tim Foot about the benefits of a church using a staffing service like Slingshot, navigating the tension of calling & career, and having logistical conversations when you get hired by a church in regards to salary.

This is not an in depth A/V breakdown of our entire tech setup as a church, but rather just the necessities we have with us on a Sunday morning to lead worship.

Luke's comes from a guest worship leader perspective and Jake's is a more consistent, but ever changing and growing setup.
