Worship Ministry Training Podcast (For Worship Leaders)

📝 The Importance of Strong Songs E-Book - https://sendfox.com/lp/1gqk70 
There's a dangerous theology sneaking into modern worship songs, and most worship leaders are singing it every single week without even realizing it. One song alone with this theology has racked up over 80 million views in just one year.
This isn't just one hit song. It's a pattern showing up across popular worship music right now, and it's shaping how your congregation thinks about God.
In this video I break down the exact lyrics to watch for, why this theology is dangerous both for your church and for you personally as the worship leader, and what worship ACTUALLY is compared to what these songs tell you that it is.
You're definitely going to want to check this out to make sure you aren't unknowingly leading your congregation astray.
Watch it and tell me in the comments: do you think I'm being too strict, or do you agree with me?

If your church doesn't have enough worship or production volunteers, this episode is for you. Andrew Liggett leads worship at a church of 200 people, but he's developed a team of nearly 50 volunteers across worship, production, youth band, kids choir, and adult worship. That's one quarter of his entire church serving in music ministry! How did he do it?
In this episode, Andrew breaks down the exact system he uses to recruit, train, and grow volunteers from complete beginners into skilled, faithful team members. We talk about why "equipping the saints" (not doing all the ministry yourself) is the real job of a worship leader, how he built low-barrier on-ramps so literally anyone can start serving, and the three-tier approach he uses for every single position on his team, vocals, guitar, keys, drums, and even tech.
We also get into the tension every worship leader feels: how do you keep things musically excellent when you're bringing in beginners? Andrew's answer might challenge how you think about "polish" altogether. Plus, we dig into the practical side nobody talks about: how he mics 20 people on stage without destroying his sound crew, and how he gives feedback in a way that actually gets received instead of resented.
Whether you're a small church worship leader desperate for more volunteers, a mid-size team wanting to build a real development pipeline, or a worship pastor tired of doing everything yourself, this conversation will give you a framework to steal.

🎸 Musical Excellence Course (50% off) - https://sendfox.com/lp/m8jv6q 
Worship leaders working with beginner musicians know the struggle. Sloppy timing, everyone playing the entire song, no dynamics, polish or listening to one another to play as one "unit". No wonder it's so hard for worship leaders to help their teams achieve musical excellence! 
The 7 tips in this video will transform your amateur worship team band from sloppy to sounding tight and professional. Even if you're working with noobs, students, or volunteers who just don't seem to "get it" yet.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- How to glue your rhythm section together to build a solid foundation for the rest of the band.
- Why layering (and NOT playing) is one of the most important skills your musicians can learn
- How to distribute subdivisions across instruments so your mix stops sounding sloppy and crowded. 
- How to move beyond just playing chords so the arrangements truly come alive!

Worship Ministry Training is changing, and honestly, it's the biggest shift I've made in 14 years of doing this.
For over a decade I've focused almost entirely on equipping YOU, the worship leader. Courses, coaching calls, YouTube content, all aimed at making you better. But I've come to realize that training the worship leader alone isn't enough. Your team needs training too, and most of you don't have the time, the know-how, or the bandwidth to create devotionals, workshops, vocal warmups, onboarding pathways, team culture systems, and musician training videos on top of everything else you're already carrying!
So I'm restructuring Worship Ministry Training around two pillars: one that equips you, and one that equips your entire team automatically.
In this video I walk through exactly what's changing, what stays the same, and how these two systems work together to take weight off your shoulders without costing your volunteers a penny. I also mention a limited-time coupon code for the first people who watch this, so stick around to the end if you want to grab that.
Whether you're a bivocational worship leader, a solo worship leader wearing 10 hats, or you're just tired of carrying all the training and admin alone, this one's for you.

🙏 Spiritual Affirmations - https://sendfox.com/lp/3oxrd4 
Most worship leaders are leading for approval and don't even realize it.
If you replay every service on the drive home, spiral when nobody says anything afterward, feel defensive the second someone gives you feedback, or secretly compare your small room to the highlight reels on Instagram, this conversation is for you.
I sit down with Amber Peairs, who served as worship pastor at Gateway Church in Dallas for over 19 years (the church Kari Jobe came from) and now leads The Worship Life. We go deep on one of the most important and least-talked-about issues in worship ministry: leading from a secure identity in Christ versus leading for the approval of people. Amber didn't figure this out until year 15 of ministry. Neither did I.
We get specific about what approval-driven leadership actually looks like: chasing a bigger platform before you've been faithful to the one you have, over-committing to every opportunity because saying no feels like disappearing, name-dropping to prove yourself, and getting defensive when anyone pushes back. We've both been there, and we name it honestly.
Then Amber raises the question that cuts deepest: Who are you if you never lead worship again? She shares what happened when God told her to step away from leading for two full months, what she heard Him say during that silence, and how it permanently changed the way she leads. You don't want to miss that part.
She also walks through the daily practices that have kept her anchored and free from approval-seeking for over 35 years of ministry, and the difference between healthy ambition and approval-driven striving (it's not always obvious which one you're in).
Whether you're a brand-new worship leader still finding your footing, a worship pastor deep into your tenure, or someone who's been leading for decades and still wrestles with insecurity, this one's for you.
