What is happening in the room is far more important than what is happening at your feet and your hands. When you get lost in your task and usually it's due to a lack of preparation you miss what is happening in the room. This is where we most likely miss the seeing of life change taking place in our churches and the vision that keeps us pushing forward.

"Every First Responder Knows This, Do You?

Sam VanDynHoven, the Worship Pastor at City First Church in Rockford, IL is  preaching on the importance of staying who you are, all the time. God has called you to be you. 

Sam and I discuss practical steps to add into your weekly schedule when it comes to preparing the heart, mind, and soul so that you're ready spiritually for that next weekend.

Be who you are, not who you want to be.

"As I walked into one of our green rooms this Sunday, I heard a band member say out loud, "it was a rough crowd this morning." I get it, we've all been there. Sometimes the "crowd" seems into worship and sometimes the "crowd" seems like they would rather be anywhere else."

Rick Smith and myself dive into this topic talking about the importance of making sure you always fight hard for those who need Jesus. 

Rick is the CEO of INKollective located in St James, Missouri. He is one of the most legit dudes I know and his heart for the local church is like no other.

At the end of the day, not everyone who walks through the doors of our churches love and know Jesus. As creative teams, worship leaders, production teams we can never assume this is the case. How do we stay above creative planning with the right thing in mind?

This podcast is a recap of the article written found at www.dillanhowell.com called, "Christian Karaoke".

Every second of the worship experience matters. Look at it this way, our guests are giving us around 60 minutes of their time once a week. When they walk in the doors of our church they have done their part. Now it's time for us to do our part. In this episode Micah Stephens, founder and CEO of Paper Giants Inc., joins me to discuss why it's important to make every second of every minute in the worship experience matter.
