A while ago we were privileged to be able to interview Jon Egan on the podcast and he shared with us a very important concept. And it’s one that I think we need should spend more time thinking about as worship leaders. Let me explain. We live on a farm. During the summer it can get to be pretty dirty around here. The first summer we lived in this house they were doing some logging. The dirt on the logging road was a real fine and light, almost dust kind of a dirt. It didn’t take very much effort to get yourself dirty. Having come from being in town, we weren’t accustomed to letting the kids ride their bikes for long distances without our supervision. But, since there is literally no one around, we figured it was safe. We gave them clear instructions. “You can ride your bikes down to the creek, but don’t go any further.” They were gone for quite a while, when they came back the boys looked like this: That’s when I knew they had gone further than they were supposed to. If they had stayed within the boundary, they wouldn’t have gotten far enough to get into the dirt. The solemn look on their faces is because they were in trouble. Not for getting dirty, but for going farther than we had said. But, there’s more to the story. We don’t have a bathtub in our house. We have showers, but no tub. That works fine for us most of the time, but sometimes, kids need to soak. This was one of those times. The same is true for us. We live crazy, hectic and busy lives. When we come together for our worship services, they are usually pretty rigid and jam packed. We want to make the best use of people’s time. But, sometimes our people don’t need more stuff thrown at them. Sometimes we need to allow people the time to soak in the hope, life and peace of what they’re learned that day or that week. Below is a list of some of the albums we use at our church. We use them as preservice music. I use them personally when I’m praying and studying. They work really well to create an atmosphere to reflect and think. My favorite is Bethel’s...
