#288: Stockholm Worship on Recording a Live Album, Creativity in the Church, & Song Stories

Show Sponsor: Bethel Music Worship School

This episode is brought to you by Bethel Music Worship School. As I look back on my development as a worship leader, I can pinpoint a handful of strategic conferences and events that changed the trajectory of my life. I can’t recommend the Bethel Music Worship School enough, taking place this summer in Redding, CA July 17-21.

The Bethel Music Worship School began over two decades ago and is an opportunity for worshipers, leaders, songwriters, musicians, and creatives to come together to grow, learn, and expand their craft.

This year’s special guest is 15-time GRAMMY Award winner and gospel music’s most highly decorated female artist CeCe Winans, along with Members of the Bethel Music Collective: Brian + Jenn Johnson, Josh Baldwin, Paul + Hannah McClure, Kristene DiMarco, David Funk, and more.

Guest speakers this year are Bill Johnson and Ray Hughes + more to be announced in the coming weeks.

Over the course of five days, you will have the opportunity to attend over 50 classes led by teachers who are experts of their field ranging from worship leading and songwriting to music publishing and studio production.

This is an incredible opportunity to invest in your worship leader, your worship team, growing and expanding your skills and encountering God with other like-minded leaders.

Show Sponsor: Planning Center

So let’s talk about Planning Center. For those of you who are old enough, we often refer to worship leading eras as the pre-Planning Center days and the Planning Center days. It’s that game-changing and that important.

I talk about Planning Center pretty often on here, and if you’re a worship pastor, you might be wondering what more there is to Planning Center for you beyond worship planning and scheduling.

And there is.

Did you know that with a subscription to Planning Center Services you also have free access to another incredibly powerful product People?

With People, you can do things like create a volunteer pipeline to get new volunteers through their application process and then assigned to a team!

In People you can create an online form to get new volunteers, a workflow to help you walk them step-by-step through the training process, and then automatically add them to Services so you can get them scheduled!

And that’s just one way you use Planning Center People, so give it a try! Learn more at planningcenter.com/pipeline

And remember, if your church is looking for tools to help with things like giving, small group chat, event signups, live-streaming, and custom reporting, Planning Center has tools for that too, so let your church administrator know!
