May 03, 2021Finding a Timothy and a Barnabas
Today's episode is a little different from usual. There's no interview; instead, I'm reading a chapter from my first book Becoming a Worship Pastor. In this chapter I talk about discipleship, Paul's relationships with Timothy and Barnabas, and how we can shift our focus from tasks to people.
Here are a few thoughts from this episode:
1. As pastors, we are in the people development business.
Practice is what happens before rehearsal. Practice is where you prepare your part and prepare your heart. Rehearsal is where we put the pieces together.
At some point in your ministry you will find there is someone under your leadership who is more anointed than you are. Learn to lead them well.

April 20, 2021Josiah Fiebelkorn - Discipleship in Worship
This week I sat down with Josiah Fiebelkorn to discuss discipleship as a worship leader and what that means for both your team and church. We also defined both the terms "worship" and "worship leader" and discussed why those definitions matter. Here are a few of my favorite thoughts from this episode:
1. We've all been given the calling of "disciple maker."
The church needs faithful leaders, not just singers.
Your job is to serve. Don't limit your service to music alone.

April 13, 2021Matt Stinton - Practical Songwriting Tips
This week I had a great conversation with Matt Stinton, founder of The Songwriter's Advocate. The Songwriter's advocate is an online school for songwriters and worship leaders. Matt gave great insight into the songwriting process, how to evaluate your songs, and more.

Here are a few of my favorite thoughts from this episode:
1. Writers block is optional.
The parts of your brain that criticize and the parts of your brain that create don't work well together.
It's better to write a bad song than no song at all. You can fix a bad song.

April 05, 2021 Nathan Shoemaker - Stretching Yourself Stylistically
This week I sat down with worship leader and songwriter Nathan Shoemaker to discuss stretching yourself in terms of musical style. We talk about why it's important, how to try it and even who should try it!
Here are a few of my favorite thoughts from this episode:
1. Different churches call for different musical styles.
2. When it comes to identifying your strengths as a worship leader, ask your pastor, ask other musicians, get feedback. Don't assume you already know.
3. Find forgiving spaces to try new things: a small group, a mid-week service or a youth service.
