In many churches, tech and worship teams operate as two separate teams. There is little cohesion, cooperation, and culture shared between the two. In my opinion, this is not the best approach, because both teams are serving the same purpose and have the same objective… to facilitate the corporate worship experience. At a fundamental level, the two teams need each other, and should be w...

So much of worship music today has focused on creativity over clarity and catchiness over truthfulness. The problem with that is that Biblical worship is always revelation, then response. When Christ is clearly revealed in our songs, people will passionately respond in praise. Brett and the team at Journey Co Worship have decided to emphasize clarity over creativity as they write songs for their church.

In this conversation, we'll ...

As worship leaders we are at our best when we are invisible. Transparency is the goal. When people see through us and see Jesus instead, we are successful. But that can be hard to accomplish both on a practical level and a spiritual level. When we stand on stage with bright lights shining on us, how can we lead in a way that’s invisible?

And when we’re off stage, how can we fight our pride and ego to live a quiet life of anonymity ...

Stephen is an award-winning song publisher and was instrumental in launching Lauren Daigle's career, so he knows a thing or two a...

Pride. It's something many worship leaders and musicians struggle with. Yet, as Christians, we follow the most humble human who ever lived: Jesus. Though Jesus was God, He laid down His rights (and His life) for the good of others. How can we become more humble as worship leaders? And why is it important? How do we handle team members who are exhibiting pride?

These are some of the questions I ask Hanz Ives, who has been Greg Lauri...
