2021 is going to look a lot like 2020!   So, what did 2020 teach us?   We sat down with Worship Pastors from The Belonging Co., Bethany Church, Church on the Move, & Vertical Worship to hear about how 2020 unfolded and what they did to lead people.  Navigating this unique dynamic comes with a lot of intentionality & discernment that’s unique to your context. BUT we can learn so much from everyone else’s approach.   That’s the whole intention of this conversation: to hear what other leaders have found to be successful when it comes to leading in 2020.   Everything shared here was absolute gold - what to do when people cancel last minute, how to ensure your team stays engaged, how to do what’s best for your church, these are only a few of the immensely invaluable insights shared.  Mentioned in the Episode  The Belonging Co.  Bethany Church  Church on the Move  Vertical Worship  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Do you feel like your Pastor or your leader only cares about you because you are talented? Does it seem like they only want you around for the talent you bring to their stage?  Today’s conversation with Grammy-Nominated Gospel artist, Melvin Crispell III, is about that very thing.   Relationships, where your gift is seen more than you are, is a difficult territory to navigate.   If this is a dynamic you’re in the middle of right now we hope this conversation brings you hope and the perspective you need.    Mentioned in the Episode  Melvin’s Album “I’ve Got a Testimony”  Melvin’s Instagram  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Have you ever been in a time of Worship and have zero desire to engage in praising?   We see praise mentioned almost 200 times in scripture. Repetition in scripture communicates that something important is taking place.  So, what’s so important about praise?  Our guests this week are known for being a people of praise.  Since their first album released in 2000, PLANETSHAKERS have been an incredible image of what it means to be a people of adoration and praise.   Praise & adoration is something we must consistently & intentionally place in our sets.   Our friends, Joth Hunt and Pastor Sam Evans of PLANETSHAKERS, do an incredible job of sharing powerful insights for why praise matters.     Mentioned in the Episode  PLANETSHAKERS New Album “It’s Christmas” LIVE  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

People think that great worship leadership is 100% dependent upon natural ability or talent. Many things that make worship leaders great have nothing to do with talent.     So what are they?     In our conversation with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, we discuss a few of these practical things, that anyone can do, that have enabled her to become an absolutely incredible worship leader.   These insights are absolutely invaluable.  Tasha also talks about how God is using her to bridge cultures and see true healing take place in areas of injustice.     If you take to heart everything Tasha talks about in this episode, it will not only help you overcome common hurdles every worship leader faces, but also enable you to become the Kingdom leader God's called you to be.

When you place The Great Commission next to the image of the 21st-century church, there’s a bit of a discrepancy. We operate in a culture of “come & see” more than “go & love”.  What if your worship team could catalyst your community into going and making disciples?  This is what Lindy Cofer & the Circuit Riders community not only believes but are also seeing take place all around the US.   It takes place by being intentional with the songs we choose to sing and how we move throughout the day.   It’s not that we are blind to the call to go & love. It’s just become secondary in our communities at large & this conversation is aimed at equipping you to go and ignite your community to movement; no matter your position, title, or profession.  Mentioned in the Episode  Lindy’s Music & Page  Circuit Riders  YWAM  The Send  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

As Christians we are often charged to be like Jesus, but what does that actually look like?  Today we talk with Judah Akers of Judah & the Lion about this very thing.   What we see over and over is Jesus took the time to truly meet people where they were. He did this in such a way that caused all He interacted with to deeply feel & believe He cared.   What are the character traits that provokes someone to truly be with people wherever they are & for it to actually feel genuine?  Empathy & Vulnerability   To be empathetic & vulnerable requires a level of personal emotional integration that’s most revealed in the life of Jesus.   Today's episode is all about what it looks like to love people like this. ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!
