(Yes I realize U2 isn’t the chart-topping machine they used to be, but I like the alliteration and what not…) In episode 0124 of the podcast, we talked about the purpose of the church and how it affects our worship ministry. I wanted to follow up that episode in hopes to get some conversation going about how we...

What is the reason we bother with church? And why does the way we do church affect how we do worship ministry? These are some of the questions we begin to deal with in this episode of the podcast.

Encouraging Volunteers – The Power of a Than...

Unlike any other organization in the world, the church is completely dependent on volunteers. Sure, a lot of churches have some paid staff members. There’s usually a full-time senior pastor, but not always. Then there is usually an administrative assistant. Then maybe some other full-time staff or part-time...

The Basics of Using Compression

So far in this series, we have covered a couple of basics in running sound. We first covered setting your gain structure. Then we covered some basics on EQ. And of course, these all go back to episode 0123 of the podcast. Today we’re going to cover the highly useful, yet misunderstood topic of compression. It took me...

I Wanna Be Like Hillsong

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about Worship Ministry lately. (In part because I have the time to do so.) I’ve been thinking about how we run our ministries and what our motivations are. What is our philosophy for worship ministry and how did we get here? As I have been thinking about it, I’m starting to...

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 that are in that style...

Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast – Episode 0035 – Worship Leadership Team

May 20, 09

Posted by David Lindner in Podcast

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...

Kevin’s Weekend Review:5-17-09

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). ...

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...

Kevin’s Weekend Review: 5-10-09

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 and the...

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 can...

Kevin’s Weekend Review: 5-4-09

Hello out there. This Sunday was great… and I wasn’t even there! :) I joined about 25 men in our church for a Men’s Retreat during the weekend. We left Friday afternoon and got back Sunday evening; we had an awesome time as men seeking God and drawing closer together. Meanwhile, back at Laurelwood things...
