This weekend was a conglomeration of talents. We had a drummer play who had never played for us on a weekend before, and he only had two hours to prepare. We had an electric guitarist who is normally one of our drummers. He’s growing in his guitar skills and is extremely interested in electric guitar. [...]

In this week’s episode, David and Kevin are once again on location at Laurelwood Baptist Church. This time we’re talking once again about Hymns and Choruses and poke a little fun.
We also celebrate a few milestones in this episode, both personally and “organizationally.”
If you have some insight to offer on this topic, we’d love to [...]

Ah, having a four piece band is both a great thing and a dangerous thing. It’s a great thing because it gives all the musicians plenty of room to be creative and musical. It’s dangerous because all of your errors are very exposed and if a part isn’t there, it’s more obvious.
That’s what this weekend [...]

Hi everyone,
As I mentioned in my blog last week, I’ve been doing a lot of work to raise up other Worship Leaders in our church.� This Sunday, I had a guy on our team do a “Phase-3″ worship service (where he plans, prepares, and executes the entire service).� It was really cool!
One of the benefits [...]

I don’t have any evidence to back this up, but I have a theory. A Senior Pastor once told me that people cling to the music of their youth. In other words, if someone has an emotional connection to a song when they’re young, they’ll likely become attached to that song and to other songs [...]

In this week’s episode of the Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast, David and Kevin talk about the idea of a worship leadership team. Unless we’re still trying to fool ourselves, we’ve all realized by now that we can’t do this thing called worship ministry by ourselves.
This is the first time we actually talk about the idea [...]

This week I had another team member leading most of the music.  I’ve mentioned before how I’m trying to strategically get others leading and involved in worship leadership; but things are really starting to take off now.  My ultimate goal is to only be leading the entire service once a month (or maybe twice).  I’ve [...]

This weekend was another challenging weekend. I am fighting another sinus infection and head/chest cold, and we didn’t have an electric guitarist for this weekend either. I know I’ve ranted and raved about this before, but it can be really frustrating that all the music being done in churches today, and all the music that’s [...]

I hope everyone had an EXCELLENT Mother’s Day!  When I think about all my wife does for our family–while working a part time job–I wonder why we only give Mother’s one day.  If you are a Mother; hat’s off to you… thank you for all you do!  Even when I think about my own mother [...]

Happy Mother’s Day! I don’t know about you, but I’m thankful for my wife and the great mother she is and I’m thankful for my mom too. We showed a video from Worship House Media today, that I’d be willing to be a bunch of you showed too, it’s called “Why She Deserves a Day.”(You [...]
