Worship Ministry Training

The stuff that takes leaders out isn't loud. It's quiet. Private. Easy to justify. Most of us don't crash because we hate God. We drift because we're tired, flattered, resentful, or unchecked. Guard your heart. Deal with it early.

Deeply grateful and honored to start a new position as President at @CCLI #empowerworship #everythingworship

Leading a small team this Easter? The pressure to go big is real. But what if the goal isn't bigger, just better? Not more elements or more pressure. Just intentional and excellent. Don't overextend. Be faithful with what's in your hands and trust God to grow what's healthy.

Strong worship teams aren't built on talent alone. They're built on shared values, clear expectations, and a culture that calls everyone higher. And that kind of culture is worth fighting for.

Easter hits different. More guests and expectations. Bigger moments. But you're not called to manufacture something. You're called to clearly and faithfully point people to the risen Jesus. Clarity over complexity. Intention over noise. That's where real impact happens.

Look over there!

Intense ministry seasons don't have to cost you your soul. The real question isn't “Can I handle this?” It's “Am I graced for this?” If God asked you to carry it, He'll supply the strength. If He didn't, it's okay to lay it down.

Excellence isn't the goal. An excellent spirit is. Not perfection. Not performance. But showing up prepared, faithful, and focused on Who we're glorifying. When lead worship, we give our best, not to impress people, but to honor Him.

We all have hills that we'll die on when it comes to leading worship. Some could be doctrinal, some gear related, or about processes, volunteers, or leadership. Share what you're really passionate about in the comments. Keep it respectful, of course!

You can be confident and careless at the same time. Preparation isn't optional. It's part of the calling. What you do before Sunday matters. Unseen diligence shapes seen faithfulness. Preparation is the offering. Sunday is the result.

@RealCandaceO Please do tell about Theil & Hawaii!

This is completely and utterly made up LOL. Sheer fiction. You guys are so positively desperate to rewrite Charlie’s history that we are moving to fantasy. But since the internet is now interested if it’s cool, I’d like to now share the story about why I decided to stop being friends with you after you bizarrely opened up to me about how you hired a young Christian male who used to work on my show at Prager U… You told me his parents were overbearing Christians who were concerned about him moving to Miami to work for a gay couple. Sure enough, the next time we saw you, you told us a story about how you and your husband just “knew” that he wasn’t shy, but that he was more likely secretly gay and how you were encouraging him to experiment with guys and explore his sex life. You told me and George that you then encouraged him to go on a date and then to have his first kiss— with a man. Shortly thereafter he quit your show and moved from Miami. I was positively sickened by this story because I KNEW this kid and yes, he WAS shy, and the fact that you questioned him about his virginity and dating life and encouraged him to kiss a boy makes you a groomer in my book. Should we get into what you told me about your night in Hawaii with Peter Thiel? Or is the above enough perversion for one morning?

@digijordan @grok is this a real article?

“The Bank of England must plan for a financial crisis being triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of alien life.” Helen McCaw, a senior analyst in financial security at the UK’s central bank, has written to Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, urging him to organise contingencies for the possibility that the White House may confirm we are not alone in the universe. She thinks this is coming and it could lead to economic collapse. 2026 is wild yall 🛸

Stop comparing your two blocks to someone else's tower. You're not behind. You're early. God put you with these people on purpose. Love your team. Invest faithfully. Stack the next block.

This post is for the worship musicians who led before streaming, stems, or planning apps. Some of these memories are funny. Some hurt a little. All of them shaped us. What did we miss?

Your worship team doesn't have a culture problem. It has an onboarding problem. Clarity early saves correction later.

Different generations. Different expressions. Same mission. Worship team tension isn't about style, it's about pride. Unity grows when seasoned worshippers and younger team members keep Jesus at the center.

“I hate the click.” Almost every worship leader has heard this before. Josh Phillips from The Heritage talks honestly about what it was like introducing a metronome to his team.

Most worship leaders don't want division. We just inherit preferences we don't know how to navigate. Multi-generational worship isn't about choosing sides. It's about shepherding people with patience, humility, and courage.

An encouragement for worship leaders and teams heading into Christmas Eve services this week. Praying for meaningful services, healthy teams, and full hearts in each an every one of your ministries! Merry Christmas!

With Christmas Eve just a week away, the pressure is on. Here are a few ways to lead without falling apart. What's been the most stressful part of this season for you? 👇
