When Vessels Break (Mike Guglielmucci and Healer) 2008-08-21 08:52:45 Dear Worship Community,
I write this article today from my home office and studio. Looking outside my windows I can see the rain and wind increasing from Tropical Storm Fay. Although she is located several hours south of our home I can see and feel her presence. As the sky grows darker and more ominous I [...] Read more:Break

What Difference Does Worship Make 2008-08-20 08:25:27 Soon after encountering Christ for the first time as a young teenager, I eagerly began telling everyone who would listen about my newfound faith. In one conversation as I tried to convince a friend of my brother that Jesus would make a huge positive difference in his life, he gently expressed his doubt about my [...]
Worship Leaders of The Bible, Part 2: King David 2008-08-20 08:08:52 I’ve decided David
wouldn’t have made it as a worship leader in today’s church. Not that his songs wouldn’t hold up. Oh, they’d hold up, alright! But there’s just not enough grace. King David was one messed up dude, y’all. Lies, murder, adultery, and that’s just the beginning of it. With all of the systems of accountability we have [...] Read more:Leaders

Percussion [You Say Tomatos, I Say Tomatoes] 2008-08-13 15:13:43 One of the things about being a percussionist and multifaceted flautist, is that you need to realize that what you do is not an essential part of the modern day “worship band” instrumentation, it’s good to have but is not essential. With that in mind, there are some things that you need to know and [...] Read more:Tomatoes
Orchestrating an Effective Rehearsal 2008-08-13 12:21:55 Rehearsals are one thing that every single worship leader in any capacity cannot get out of. If you are on staff, you lead rehearsals. If you are a volunteer, you need rehearsals. If you are a tech guy (or gal), you attend rehearsals. And since we all can’t get away from [...] Read more:Rehearsal
Planning Ahead 2008-08-11 16:00:13 I heard a great quote the other day that was aimed at pastors who plan sermons last minute week to week. It went something like, “When pastors wait until the last minute to plan a message, is it them or the Holy Spirit who does the procrastinating?”
This is not a slam on pastors. Not even [...]
Review: We Are Alive, Elevation Worship 2008-08-08 08:32:27 Yesterday I received my copy of Elevation Worship’s We Are Alive
from Wade Joye. I first got hooked on Wade’s blog praying for his daughters, and thought it was quite gentlemanly of him to shoot out a free CD to 100 worship leaders. I’ve only listened a few times but here’s a review based on [...]
Developing A Songwriting Community Through Your Church, part one 2008-08-06 20:58:45 “I had tried to visit Woody (Guthrie) regularly… I would usually take the bus there from the Port Authority terminal, make the hour-and-a-half ride and then walk the rest of the half mile up the hill to the hospital, a gloomy and threatening granite building…. Usually I’d play him his songs during the afternoon. Sometimes [...] Read more:Church

Using A Cut Capo 2008-09-24 16:20:17 Many worship leaders are increasingly using the “cut” capo to their guitar tool box. Unlike a full size capo which covers each of the six guitar strings, the cut capo just covers the A D and G...

Strumming Patterns for Acoustic Guitar 2008-10-14 06:23:11 When a lot of people first learn to play guitar, they spend a good deal of time working on the hand that changes chords but very little time on the hand that strums.

The Generosity Of God 2008-10-07 06:18:02 Patterns of thinking become ingrained after just a short time. I grew up with the concept that God was a harsh, demanding taskmaster that would only accept perfection- then dole out punishment when the inevitable failure happened.
I have been a “son of the Kingdom of God” for many years now and I know that the [...] Read more:Generosity
