Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast – Episode 0088 – Running a Worship Band Rehearsal
Time is of the essence. Not only our time, but the time of the people who are serving in our worship ministries. They don’t have a lot of it, and they’re gracious enough to give their time to support the worship ministries in our churches. So, when they show up for a rehearsal, the responsibility falls on our shoulders to make sure we’re doing our absolute best to use their time wisely & efficiently. That’s...
Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast – Episode 0087 – Taking care of yourself during Easter
I once heard Craig Groeschel say (I think he was quoting someone else) “I will never sacrifice my family on the altar of Ministry.” That statement hit me hard and stuck with me.

Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast – Episode 0086 – Helping youth understand Worship Ministry
We live in the fastest paced society in history (at least history we know about). And with that pace comes a huge benefit – we get to do some amazing things that wouldn’t have ever been possible in the past. But there are some downfalls.

Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast – Episode 0084 – Song Arrangement Basic Principles
This is a huge topic, and one that we will most certainly come back to in future episodes, but we thought it would be a good start to the topic, and that’s the topic of Arranging a song. It can feel like a daunting task, something that’s out there beyond our reach, and something that we aren’t sure we really even understand. Well Kevin & I try to boil it down to some really basic ideas of arranging to help get...
