Music & Ministry

Unfortunately, people are not very good at going from a recording to a live performance. So, today, we give you a practical example of how to adapt a recorded song for a live environment. We walk you through a multi track recording and demonstrate how the change in systems between recorded music and live music always get’s people turned down.

When it comes down to the pivotal moment that determines if people are going to get turned down, most ministries are missing the right people and processes to connect their team to reality so they can play the right part, at the right time, using the right sound.

Today we jump into one of the biggest reasons that people get turned down and it’s something that most everyone tries to do…replicate the recording. What most people don’t realize is that there are some major differences between recorded music and live music. It’s much like the difference between a movie and a play – same story, same audience, and sometimes even the same venue but yet they are very different. It will take more than one episode to unpack it all, but you got to start somewhere. Let’s dive in!

Bad Systems cause people to be destined to be turned down before they even get started. Today, Co-founder Steven Reed, walks us through the typical way that most people get ready for a service and points out the stops along the way that inherently cause a lot of people to be set up for failure.

The podcast is back in both video and audio formats. Today we are starting a new series entitled “How to Not Get Turned Down” because that’s something that happens at most every church in the developed world. The crazy part is that there is good chance that it’s happening to you and you don’t even know it. So let’s get it figured out. Check it out here or on your favorite podcast platform.

We sat down with Jenn Johnson from Bethel Church to talk about her new book about finding balance in life and ministry. Lot’s of laughs.

In our 3rd installment of our new podcast, we dive into how to hear the voice of the God by sharing some fun stories from our past. We also took on a 90’s version of our Name That Worship Song game.

Christmas time is here and today we’re diving full in with special guests Paul and Hannah McClure who are worship leaders at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. We also share some fun details about our Christmas spectacular video, talk about what’s new in worship, and at the end we play a fun game of ‘Name That Christmas Movie’ with our guests.

If you haven’t already go check out Paul and Hannah’s latest Christmas project called “Christmas Morning” available on all music and video platforms.

We are excited to launch the new Music & Ministry podcast season and have a lot of new and fun stuff to share. Up to date resources, interviews, and help for what is going on right now in the world of ministry.

Today we are talking about our year long project to call 100 worship leaders and/or ministers to find out what they are facing right now. We’ve only made it to 14 so far, but the good news is that there is a lot of good news! God is on the move and is working mightily. Join us for some encouragement and insight, plus play along with our worship song challenge.
