Good Ingredients
A good meal, in a good setting, with good people having good conversations can make for a great experience together.
Breaking Bad Habits
In church we ask for the Holy Spirit to have his way and move in the service. I think it’ll take the Holy Spirit’s movement to get some of us to move on the platform!
Misleading Your Audience
I wonder how many of us professional musicians unintentionally mislead our audience…
Performance in Worship - Pt. 2
Are we authentic in our worship? The differences between performance and worship are not as big as what we may think
Performance in Worship - Pt. 1
“Worship is completely different than performing,” he said. But is it really? Back then, I wouldn’t think that worship and performing were similar, but today I believe they are.
No Invitation
In my travels with music, I have visited numerous churches. Regardless of the church size, there is one glaring similarity between a lot of churches I see.
Our Own Reflection
Whether you realize it or not, the audience is a reflection of us onstage.
Worship Is Worth It
You never know who might show up to your church on a given Sunday and what they might be dealing with.

Love and Devotion - Pt. 1
As musicians, we may love what we do, but are we devoted to doing it?
The IT Factor
We all have an IT factor. It’s something that separates us from everyone else.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
I recently had an artist I work with come down sick in the middle of a Christmas tour. An unexpected "gift" ended up gifting a wonderful night for both the artist and the audience.
Missed Opportunities - Pt. 2
When they finally began their fourth song, I had seen enough. I decided to leave the main stage of the festival, head to the bus and go to bed early…
Missed Opportunities - Pt. 1
“Do you think my show sucks?” I couldn’t believe it when I heard those words come through the loudspeakers…
Using a B-stage
It was such a huge opportunity missed! The entire purpose of using a B-stage is to connect with the audience in a new way and give the people in the back of the room a similar experience that those towards the front have.
The Lead Singer
I believe there are two main forms of entertainment that unite the world – music and soccer. In the last several posts, I’ve been comparing each band member’s position to that of a soccer player’s. Today’s post is for all the lead singers!
The Utility Player
