How do you hold each other accountable on your worship team? How do you gently encourage improvement and exploration of our individual "growing edges"?

Can you minister authentically as a worship leader when you neglect your own spiritual and mental health?

We invited Sarah to join us to chat about Bloom, her faith journey, and her go-to self-case regimen. She was an absolute delight, and we have no doubt that you'll love the interview.

It's all about our fails and fears related to worship. Buckle in for the donkey ride!

Meet the new team, laugh, and get ready for a new season of the WMC podcast.

Paul Baloche Over the 10 years of this podcast we have often spoken of our admiration for Paul Baloche. In our opinion he is the cream of the crop when it comes to worship leaders and worship songwriters. You would be hard pressed to find a worship songwriter who has had more of an impact on modern worship than this guy. In part 1 of our 2 part interview with Paul, we talk about worship leading and Paul shares with us some very practical and useful insight when it comes to leading worship. It’s going to be well worth your time to listen in to this episode! http://leadworship.com/ https://you.leadworship.com/p/leading_worship Paul Baloche Ultimate Collection  Why don’t you chime in?

Paul Baloche Over the 10 years of this podcast we have often spoken of our admiration for Paul Baloche. In our opinion he is the cream of the crop when it comes to worship leaders and worship songwriters. You would be hard pressed to find a worship songwriter who has had more of an impact on modern worship than this guy. In part 2 of our 2 part interview with Paul, we talk about worship songwriting. What an honor this was for us. Several years ago, Kevin & I went through the book God Songs, that Paul co-wrote with Jimmy & Carol Owens. (In fact, you can listen to all those episodes here: http://www.worshipministrycatalyst.com/podcast-2/god-songs-songwriting-podcasts/ ). There is so much insightful material in this episode that you’ll be playing it over and over again, so you might as well get started with it now! And you’ll definitely want to check out his “Ultimate Collection” that Integrity music has just released. It’s got all the greats Paul has written over the years. And I’d be willing to guess t

What do you do when your church wants to meet a justice need, but the neighborhood doesn’t support you? One of the harshest criticisms against the church has been that we don’t do enough to take care of the hurting and the poor. I’ve heard it many times. I’ve probably even said it many times. But, what happens when your church wants to step into that gap and help meet a justice need, but you’re met with disdain from the neighbors surrounding your church? How have your neighbors responded to your justice ministries in your church? https://goconnect.org/safepark/  Why don’t you chime in? Leave your feedback in the comments section below!

Why Do We Change In Ministry? Over the years of the podcast, Kevin & I have talked on the topic of change several times. You can look back through the archives to listen to some of those episodes. However, in today’s episode, we talk about some of the changes that have taken place at Kevin’s church and the impact they have had. We also talk about some broader changes we need to be thinking about in terms of ministering in a rapidly changing technological environment. What’s your advice for change? What are some of the things you think we need to be thinking about changing today?  Why don’t you chime in? Leave your feedback in the comments section below!

Keith Getty Keith and Kristyn Getty occupy a unique space in the world of music today as preeminent modern hymn writers. In re-inventing the traditional hymn form, they have created a catalogue of songs teaching Christian doctrine and crossing the genres of traditional, classical, folk and contemporary composition which are sung the world over. The Gettys’ hymns are used increasingly both in contemporary and traditional circles, being included in most modern hymnbooks (with a number of these now listing “Getty” as the most-featured composers), while in the more contemporary church, more than 60 of their songs are featured on top 2,000 CCLI charts between the UK and USA.

Lancelot Schaubert Lancelot Schaubert is the husband of Tara Schaubert, the grooviest girl on Earth. He has sold his written work to markets like The New Haven Review, McSweeney’s, The Poet’s Market, Writer’s Digest (magazine and books), The World Series Edition of Poker Pro, Encounter, The Misty Review, Carnival, Brink, and many other similar markets. He reinvented the photonovel through Cold Brewed and was commissioned by the Missouri Tourism Board to create a second photonovel — The Joplin Undercurrent — that both fictionalizes and enchants the history and culture of Joplin, Missouri. His work terraforms new worlds, tears the veil between the natural and supernatural, and jests with the paradoxes of classical metaphysics. When he’s not writing (or tinkering with cinema-ish narrative), he’s dabbling in dozens of different books, listening to people tell their life stories, camping, fishing, exploring unfamiliar territory (there’s a lot in New York), tinkering with new languages (Spanish, currently), explori
