Worship & Creative Leaders

Does your mix suffer from these four common mix maladies?  If it does, that’s OK because there is a remedy for each one. The next worship service could be your best worship music mix.

Here's the real-life parable what I call of sugar cookie hope. It's a recipe tat begins and ends in love.

How long is church supposed to be? The movement of the Holy Spirit can be like watching a Polaroid picture develop. The Holy Spirit is holding the picture and we’re just a part of the development process.

Worship is a war song, but it isn’t simply singing songs. It is a lifestyle. And ultimately, it is about how we relate to God.

I’ve done worship transitions very poorly and God has still moved. But it also was a distraction. I’ve said “crap” instead of “clap.” I’ve had plenty of unintentional, awkward silences. I’ve even knocked over a mic stand.

what do you mean the spare head doesn’t fit? Bring me the holy gaff tape! Did it sound great? No, but it sounded good enough and got us through the remaining five songs. Drum head repair -- in 10 minutes!

Why would two microphones built for the same purpose alter sound differently? It goes back to a key piece of live audio production wisdom: A great mix starts with getting the best sound at the source.

Leading worship is not musical ability and musical ability is not leadership. Leadership goes deeper. It sets foot in uncomfortable places. It goes where most are not willing to. A leader is a catalyst for change.
