Beyond Sunday Worship Leader Podcast

Show Sponsor #1: Worship Artistry This episode is brought to you by Worship Artistry. If I could recommend one resource to help Worship Leaders equip and empower their teams, it would be Worship Artistry. One of the biggest frustrations I hear from worship leaders is that their band does not show up prepared. Not only does Worship Artistry help with musician preparation, it helps to get everyone on the exact same page.  Worship Artistry exists to help musicians of every level answer the call to worship with passion and confidence. A growing library of over 600 album-correct song tutorials features arrangements for the band you have: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keys, and 3 part vocals. Everything is broken down into easy-to-digest chapters, practice loops at different speeds, and transposable chord charts, sheet music, and tablature.  WA is great for individual learning or the whole worship team. Teams are where it shines because you get everybody on the same page. It’s a great way to equip your current musicians and grow your future ones. I’m excited Worship Artistry is sponsoring this podcast and offering 10% off an annual subscription to Beyond Sunday listeners. Just head over to worshipartistry.com/beyondsunday to sign up. Show Sponsor #2: 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!
