The Stage and the Seats
Just a few thoughts this time.
Stage
Excellence, Emotion, Relevance, and Authenticity.
How do we transfer what we do on stage to the hearts and lives of the people on stage.
I will not give my life to "song times" but to helping people engage with the One true God.
Be excellent from the beginning.. don't consider the first song a throw-away.
Maintain momentum.
Don't be a performer, be a facilitator.
Be a competent artist, a leader, a pastor???
When you lead, do people want to follow you?
Teach on worship.
Ask a compelling question, tell a great story
"Sit" in worship..don't just blow through songs.
Art that generates emotion.
Tech support that enhances connection. So vitally important!
Hearts that model authenticity.
Aside
If you've never done cardboard testimonies at your church....totally do it...it's powerful everytime I see it!! Comment if you want more info. on that.
So important for us to paint a good picture of God! Vitally important!! When we love Him more, we paint Him better.
