Freedom To Follow (Ingredient #3)
These guidelines, or “ingredients” of putting together a live show, are not to turn us into something we’re not, but rather give us more freedom to flourish in who we are
Fundamentals (Ingredient #2)
I take a lot of artists and church worship teams through the foundation and many stop there…
Foundation (Ingredient #1)
This is it! This right here is the “meat and potatoes” of your live show. I work on developing the foundation of a live show with artists more than anything else.
