This post continues the theme of practical advice for worship leaders. [Check out more practical tips in the series here.]
Today’s article also follows up from this past weekend’s worship, when we had a minor “worship leader emergency.” One lesson from my last post is to have back-up, or contingency plans. We also covered how to lead worship without projection.

At church this past Sunday the computer went down and we couldn’t project the lyrics. We were forced to interrupt our regularly scheduled programing.

In this video pastor Paul Roberts and I reflect on what happened. Later in this post I’ll share some practical ideas for contingency planning.
Christ Community Church McMinnville. TN
Wow, there’s a bunch of good lessons learned from this weekend’s worship experience with Christ Community Church, McMinnville, TN. In fact I’ve got at least 2 ideas for posts beyond today’s recap. They’ll probably have titles like ….

Misty Edwards teaching
This is an inspiring video by Misty Edwards teaching at the IHOP Youth Fascinate Conference last summer. It’s especially relevant for young worshipers, singers and musicians.

In this short video I tell the story of how I got into running in Nashville’s Country Music Marathon. This year will be my third.

Some time ago I listened to the audio book The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. original recordings of MLK himself with additional readings by Lavar Burton.
