Collaborate Worship Podcast

Over-planning... Under-planning... Us worship leaders have been guilty of them both at one time or another. Thankfully, Weston has some great tips on how to make planning for worship simple and effective every time. Weston has been a worship leader in the North Florida area for around 15 years. He also works with churchtrac, where he gets to talk with and coach ministry leaders all over the world.

Great church sound. It’s what we all want, isn’t it? I suppose that’s why our guest, James Wasem, named his book Great Church Sound. I have a copy of it, and to me, it’s like the manual you’ve always wanted. Everything you need to know about church sound is in there. But unlike most manuals, you can actually understand it. James is passionate about helping you problem solve church sound issues and he does just that in this episode.

Recently, we had a mishap that caused the whole worship service to come to a halt, and we didn't handle it too well. It was an awesomely awkward moment, and we learned a lot about problem solving. Laugh at our story and learn how to keep from making the same mistake.

Ever failed to communicate something to a team member, or maybe just said the wrong thing? We all know how fun that is. In this episode, have a laugh at some of our communication failures and maybe even learn how to not repeat them.

If you listened to Episode 1, then you know that we didn't start live streaming until COVID. Now that our services are basically back to normal, we have to decide how much effort is necessary with our live stream. In this episode, we talk about how we plan to focus our efforts.

Distractions during a worship moment that are intended to be an intimate one-on-one with God are no bueno. We know because, well, we've had more than a few worship moment fails. In this episode, we share them with you.

We haven't always used backing tracks in our church, but it was definitely a struggle when we decided to introduce them for the first time a few years ago. This episode is about what we've learned since then, and how they've turned out to be an incredible benefit in our small church.
