This weekend came out of nowhere! Having the Thanksgiving Eve service on Wednesday night really took a chunk out of my prep time for the weekend. And then having thanksgiving there in between both services didn’t help either. Nevertheless, we got through the weekend. It wasn’t too bad either. I knew we wouldn’t have an [...]

In this week’s episode, David & Kevin talk about some of the places they go, and some of the ways they keep themselves fit for being worship leaders and worship pastors. It’s a big question, one that we don’t have all the answers for and one that both of us are still working on. We [...]

Tonight was our annual “Thanksgiving Eve” service. I think it’s a Baptist thing. I’m sure that other churches from other denominations do a thanksgiving eve service, but I had never been a part of one until I worked at a Baptist church. Anyway, it was a good service. We had a pretty normal turnout and [...]

This weekend was the first weekend I haven’t been on stage (except for the weekend after my son was born) in this first year that I’ve been here. And it was pretty nice. I was able to hear what the sound system sounded like for the first time with a full band, it sounds pretty [...]

In this weeks’ episode David & Kevin talk about what we’re doing for Christmas. We thought it would be good to talk about Christmas while there’s still time to help those who listen to this podcast in their planning. As opposed to simply evaluating the podcast after we’ve finished the season. So, we talk about [...]

Okay, so my fingers hurt! Just on my left hand. I played guitar this week, and I’m out of shape. I’m a keyboard player, so I don’t play guitar that much. I did it this weekend to give someone else a chance to play keys. It was good, it’s painful, but good. We had 4 [...]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I’m starting a Church Leadership Reading group on www.goodreads.com. It’s a reading group that will read through leadership books and then discuss how they apply to our churches and our leadership roles within the churches. If you’re interested, follow this link to our group. If [...]

This was one of those weekends where I left the service wondering what went right. Of course it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was, but it sure felt like it. It seemed like we just couldn’t get on the same page. It wasn’t that we were fighting each other in tempo or stylistically [...]

In this weeks episode, David & Kevin talk about how the financial crisis is affecting worship ministry. We also talk about improbable pranks, and give a shout out to college football AP poll voters. We know that the current state of the economy has affected how we do worship ministry. That’s why we’re talking about [...]
