As leaders, it’s so easy to get caught up in our tasks & miss the pinnacle characteristic we are called to cultivate.   Yes, we must produce & get things done, but that’s not the bullseye for a Kingdom leader.  Kingdom leaders invest in the people they lead & how you go about investing is the most important part.   Our guest today, Pastor Scott Wilson, global pastor at The Oaks & founder of The Father Initiative, unpacks what this looks like & what it means to be a true Spiritual Father!  Leading in this way is one of the most important things a leader can do & here Pastor Scott breaks down what that looks like!    Mentioned in the Episode  FREE Copy of Pastor Scott’s New Book  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Recording an album is now easier more than ever before.   So since it's more accessible, the question is should your church do it?  There are tons of different opinions and beliefs when it comes to this conversation, so we decided to invite our friend Kyle Lent from the Austin Stone to weigh in.  The Austin Stone has recorded tons of records over the years. Today Kyle tells us why they believe it’s important to release albums from their church.  Maybe you’ve been thinking about if you should record an album, but don’t know where to start, how much to anticipate it’ll cost, & other details that go into the process.  We cover this and so much more in our episode!    Mentioned in the Episode  The Austin Stone’s New Project  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

When it comes to leading the next generation, what used to work with previous generations doesn’t work anymore.  As worship leaders, if we want to keep them engaged with our ministries, then we have to adapt.   Creating ways for them to sit back & consume doesn’t generate buy-in like it used to. They want to belong & contribute.  This isn’t a new concept, but here in the Post-Christian era with Gen-Z covering the newborn to post-grad spectrum, it’s crucial to get this right.  No longer does this only apply to student ministries.   To borrow a phrase that 2020 burned into our memories: it’s the new normal. It applies to us all!

Have you ever found yourself leading from a persona or felt the pressure to seem like you have it all together?     In life & leadership it’s really easy to operate out of places inauthentic to who & where we truly are.    It’s not charisma or having it all together that makes a leader great. It’s the ability to live authentic, humble, & present in every moment.    This is something that Pat Barrett models super well & in our conversation we talk about how these 3 things will allow you & your team to thrive.    Mentioned in the Episode  Pat’s New Album  The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

You know those songs that make your soul come alive because they so beautifully describe what your heart is screaming?  What if you didn’t have to rely on someone else to write those song?

Our friend & accomplished songwriter, Krissy Nordhoff, dives into what it takes to write songs for worship & engage in the process of co-writing.

We get so caught up in developing our skills, learning new techniques, and acquiring new gear, but what actually matters more is your motivation behind it all.   Why do you care to be great?  Surely there are tons of the “right Christian phrases” you could rattle off, but deep down at your core what is your motivation?  Our motivations reveal our identity & identity influences every part of who we are.  Aaron Moses shares with us his journey through identity and what it looks like to find rest & fulfillment in the identity of being a son & daughter.   Mentioned in the Episode  Aaron's New EP “Here & Now”  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Leading a lifeless room in worship is incredibly draining and disheartening. Letting it get to your head only makes it worse. No matter how great you are at leading, this is something that all worship leaders experience.   So what do you do in these moments?   In our conversation with Mack Brock, we talk about approaching lifeless times of worship, stepping beyond leading a song into facilitating moments, and how God’s using foster care to reveal more of His heart!    Mentioned in the Episode  Mack’s New Album - “Space”  Mack’s IG  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Just because you are anointed, incredibly gifted, have deep revelations, & God is using you does not mean you are a healthy leader or person.  The pursuit of wholeness is one of the highest callings as a son & daughter, simply because of what it yields in our lives & in turn, what it affirms and sows into others.  This is a lifelong purist, but progress and transformation are possible.  Naomi Raine, a worship leader and deep well of wisdom who's a part of the Maverick City Music family, is living proof of what happens when you commit yourself to becoming whole.   Her story of intentionally choosing her internal dialogue and anchoring into a community of accountability will encourage you that freedom and wholeness are possible.  Mentioned in the Episode  Naomi’s Instagram  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!
