The cost of raising up leaders
Today’s Worship Leader Wednesday episode is really all about humility. One thing all great leaders do is raise up other leaders. At the heart of the Great Commission is the idea of raising others up. As worship leaders, we should be raising up the next generation of worship leaders on our teams.
How to cast vision to your worship team
You hear us talking about vision often here at Worship Tutorials. We believe that vision is vitally important to our ministries, and we even read in the Bible, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Prov. 29:18).
How to handle the Last Minute Pastor
In this episode of Worship Leader Wednesday, Fuller and Brian talk about how to approach the ‘Last Minute Pastor’. What do you do as a worship leader when your pastor consistently asks you to change songs (or other elements of the music portion of the service) at the last minute?
Wow, I recently moved to a new city and I had been serving in worship ministries for a long time with leaders that encompassed all of these recommendations. In fact, I was blessed to have had a paid musician position at one church for almost 4 years after serving as a volunteer musician at my “home” church for over 10 years. In this new city, I immediately volunteered for the worship team at a church my wife felt The Lord was leading her (us) to attend. I met with the worship leader who invited me to attend a “rehearsal” & bring some gear (informal audition) which they held on Monday nights. I showed up on time and there was nobody there–haha! The worship leader later said “Oh, we change it to Fridays sometimes.” I had given him my contact info so long story short, I showed up at a subsequent ‘rehearsals’ and I wasn’t expecting a 1,000 person church to be running rehearsals doing ALL the things you said NOT TO DO in your video. I started to type up a huge list of stuff they do but I think I will offer my help to the worship leader (if he is amenable) and suggest he utilize your excellent website. Maybe The Good Lord will bless them with the info you have provided.
