The Worship Leader Next Door

This episode was really fun, and that’s because we had an absolute blast sitting down with the guys from Real Fun Records: Chris McClarney and Jesse Phillips, in Franklin, TN.   We cover a LOT of ground and topics in this bonus-length episode, but it all centers around loving people well, the inception and story of RealFun, and how they’re doing things differently in the music and record label industry. This is a convo you DO NOT want to miss!

Being on a worship team is NOT like being a performer on “American Idol” or “The Voice”-- So how do we onboard and integrate new team members? Should we hold auditions? How do we weigh and navigate the differences between heart, spirit, and skill? In this 2-part episode we discuss all of these fun topics. Stay tuned for the 2nd half next week!

If you’ve ever been in a season of taking a break, coming back from a break, or just feeling that you might need to “take a break” from leading or serving in the church, this episode is for you.  We discuss the possible trepidation one might feel to come back after a long hiatus, how we can sometimes tie our identity to being “a worship leader”, and what God really wants to produce in us.

We all know people can have some strooooong opinions, especially when it comes to spiritual things. How we handle and respond to them is critical, being that humility and kindness are important characteristics of good leadership.
In our final episode of the season, we discuss how we might best approach and handle the critiques and opinions of others—solicited or otherwise 😉 

Thanks for joining us on Season One of this podcast adventure, and tune in again soon for Season TWO!

In this episode, we were privileged to get the chance to sit down with Katelyn's dad, Michael, as he looks back on his many years of experience in music and ministry.  We talk about a lot of fun things, but really centered around the important, yet sometimes, challenging process of bringing different generations and styles of music together to build a thriving team.  He had such great stories, wisdom, and insight; we are sure you won't want to miss this one!

Has the Church forgotten how to value and pursue the presence of God? Have we forgotten what it looks like to just "be" in His presence?

In this episode, Kate & Jenna sit down with Jenna's sister-in-law Mandy Davis, to explore this deep well of a topic. Mandy is a many-year-veteran of church ministry in many different forms. She has a heart that is passionate to see believers truly embrace and experience the Spirit of God and all of His gifts. This is an episode full of story, candor and hopefully reminds us all of the deeper reasons why we meet together as the Body of Christ.

In this episode-- the second half of our conversation about songs and their place in our worship gatherings-- we tackle how to navigate/explain potentially confusing terms or concepts in our worship songs, whether or not to support potentially “controversial” songwriters, churches or ministries, and briefly touch on pastor/staff relationships.
