303- Mic and Voice Control in Worship Leading

Mic and voice control in worship leading is essential for leading really powerful worship in church if you have amplification.

Mic and Voice Control is Easy When You Know How!

Many people freeze when they hold a microphone or when they stand before one.  Yet this simple tool can be a great ally when it comes to leading worship, especially if you know how to use the mic correctly. Every singer who leads worship or sings in the worship team needs to listen to this podcast. The tips and techniques revealed in this show can be applied right now and improve the sound and structure of the whole team, and also make the sound guy or girl's job a lot easier! singer-1047531_960_720.jpgMany times singers do not see their singing as an instrument, and so they just belt our every song at full volume, with little shape to their vocals, and no "light and shade".  Yet vocals are not just another instrument, they are in fact the ultimate instrument, and vocalists should be able to use their singing in a way that adds tremendous power and presence tot he entire worship. And the crazy thing is that the techniques needed to control both your voice and the microphone are not that difficult to master. You see them every time you watch a youtube clip of singing or worship, and so in this pod Darin and Erick go through how they use their voices and the microphone to good effect.  These mic and voice control tips and techniques have taken a lifetime to learn and master, but they managed to boil it all down to a half hour of fun and great ideas! So if you want your vocals to improve, and if you want the team's vocals to improve, listen to this podcast and learn how to use microphones, how to hold them, and above all, how to use your voice control to great effect when constructing and leading worship songs. Check it out now and supercharge your vocals!

302- Worship Leader Goal Setting

Worship leader goal setting is the title of this week's podcast, and let's face it, all of us need to hear this!  Last week we looked at the team's goals, but this week we pull back the curtain to reveal our own personal goals for the year and the kind of personal and ministry goals you should have as a worship leader.

Worship Leader Goal Setting

When you are a worship leader goal setting should be an important part of facing the New Year. If you aim at nothing, you will hit it all the time, so setting the right goals for your worship leading, and your own walk with God, is definitely a priority. As a worship leader, and also as a believer, you should have goals and aims as you approach the year.  In this podcast, Darin and Erick share their own goals and how they are planning to achieve them, as well as making suggestions for your goals and the way in which you should not only set them but go about achieving them. This is something we should all be listening to and acting upon because each of us only gets one life to invest in the things of God.   You can waste this one life of yours, or you can choose to maximise what it is you are doing for Christ.  As a worship leader and someone in ministry, I believe that it is imperative that we stop every so often and examine what it is that we are doing, and see whether that fits into the goals we have in our lives and ministries. SO many of us work so hard investing time, money and effort into things that ultimately achieve little and are worth nothing in eternity. So settle back and seek the Lord in this fun podcast...

For Such a Time as This- Melva Kajewski

Melva Kajewski shares her heart and challenges us to stand firm in these dark days, for we have been placed here for such a time as this. We live in days that seem darker than ever before, especially with the types of moral decisions our country is making, but Melva suggests that we are here, placed in this nation, for such a time as this! So Melva urges us to take our eyes off the circumstances, off the moral decline and political correctness we now are subjected to, and see the truth that we can be part of a shining light to our generation! So if you are perplexed or discouraged by the world in which we now live, listen to this message and be encouraged that it is no accident that you are here, in this place and at this time, such a time as this...

Responding to Islam- Kevin Davis

Kevin Davis shares an exciting and topical presentation on how we as Christians should be responding to Islam.

Not Reacting but Responding to Islam

Kevin reveals some of the historical background of Islam, and how the Koran points to the person of Jesus Christ.  He encourages us to love and pray for our Muslim brothers and sisters all around the world so that we can make a difference, and he shares exciting and up to date information on how the Spirit is moving among Islamic populations across the world drawing them to Jesus. Across the Western world, people are reacting to the threat of Islamic militants with fear from the common man in the street right through to the highest level of government. So how should Christians be responding to Islam, and how should we as a church extend our love to Muslims around the world? The truth is that most Muslims are not terrorists, and they are not actively seeking the demise of Christian churches.  Most Muslims are just like you or me... wanting to live a great and productive life, caring for their families and striving to live at peace with those around them.  The trouble is that the militant arm of Islam is giving every other Muslim a bad name! And in the middle of all this, God is doing incredible things amongst Muslims. As Christians, we must choose the right and godly way of responding to Islam, with a message of love and hope rather than fear and condemnation. Kevin encourages all those who know the Lord to pray for Muslim countries and pray that they are not only blessed but also that Muslims will seek to know the one to whom there are nearly 90n references in the Koran, Jesus Christ. This incredibly insightful and topical message, a must for every believer who loves the Lord and wants to see the world won for Christ, really got us excited at Ignite!
