We all want to be as effective in our music ministries as we can. But when it comes to our songs, we may end up settling for less than the best. In this episode, Paul Gibbs and Nate Miller talk about ways to maximize the impact, and the effectiveness, of your songs, all with the goal of bringing glory to God and to touch hearts and lives for Him.

For example, you may write wonderful, meaningful lyrics but your music writing is relatively basic, or not at all. Or you may write beautiful melodies but struggle to put words to them. You may find yourself struggling with how to arrange your songs, or what style to use, what instruments sound the best, or wish you could put different instruments in your songs that you don't play. It may be that collaboration with other artists is the answer. Or simply a fresh look at ways to use the talents and skills you already have.

And by the way, many of these topics apply to cover songs as well, as many artist like to do fresh arrangements of cover songs, but struggle with how to best do that.

What's your comfort zone look like? Whatever form it takes, it's probably well, comfortable. So why should we venture out of it?

Talking to your bandmates between songs about how you messed up the words of that last tune, or arguing about what song to play next, is not exactly "best practice" for how to act professional on stage. What is the best thing to do when your audience applauds for you? Should you always talk between songs? Whether you're a band or a single act, there are ways we should all conduct ourselves when we're up in front of an audience. And this is even more important when we're representing the Lord with our music!

In this episode, Paul Gibbs and Nate Miller share some of their experiences, from both being a single artist and bands members, including some mistakes along the way, and give some advice on how to best represent ourselves and the Lord when we're "on stage" for Him!
