Send us a text You're not the church DJ. If your idea of “leading worship” is picking four songs, making sure the transitions don’t sound awkward, and praying you don’t forget the lyrics — you’re missing the whole point. Worship leading is not about shuffling songs, it's about shepherding souls.

Send us a text “It’s not about the worship team,” we preach. But then Sunday hits, and guess what? We’re back on the platform, anxiously watching the congregation for signs of engagement. We check if hands are raised, if eyes are closed, if the energy feels right. We tweak transitions and rework pads and obsess over vocal blends because… we’re still trying to win.

Yes—you. The real you. The one behind the mic. The one who battles self-doubt between rehearsals and setlists. The one who quietly asks, “Am I enough?” 🔰 Hey friends, if you find inspiration in this content, join my new Worship Team Training Substack page and spread the word ❤️ to get valuable content, ...

Send us a text Life moves like the ocean. There are high tides and low tides, steady rhythms and sudden crashes. The space between the waves—the quiet, the stillness—matters just as much as the surges. Can you be comfortable in the uncomfortable? We live in a culture that glorifies the crest, the peak moments. The wins, the breakthroughs, the times we feel strong and seen. But real life happens in the in-between. In the pauses. In the slow rise and fall of the everyday. Even the ocean kno...
