48- What Each Generation Brings to Worship Leading

Generations and ages may differ between people, and even between churches, but here at the pod, we believe that each generation brings something different and important to worship leading.

So What Does Your Generation Bring to Worship?

We all know there is often a difference between the generations, and especially when it comes to music and in particular worship music. Worship should be something that unites the generations, not divides them.  So often in church, the leadership opts for one age group at the expense of the others.  Some churches are all about old people, old people's music and style. Others are all for youth, with laser lights and smoke machines, and a volume that drives the older people screaming from the auditorium! We believe that every generation brings something different, useful and valid to worship leading in church.  Surely our task as worship leaders is to see the good in every age group.  We are different, but every difference can be celebrated as we work with worship leading to bring the generations together.  So whatever generation you belong to, whether you are older, younger or somewhere in between, you have something to offer to your church in worship leading. So what does, or at least, what can each generation bring to the table.  You may not realise the kinds of traits each age group brings, but this podcast will open your eyes to new and effective ways to bring the generations together around worship, right across every age group in your church! This podcast takes 12 minutes to look at the various generations, both young and old, and how each can make a positive and unique commitment to worship... Have a listen, and start to see the wonderful contributions every age group can make to worship in your church.

48- What Each Generation Brings to Worship Leading

In any church we have generations.  In fact, most churches have a wide spread of ages, from the very young to the very old and everything in between. But as you've probably noticed, they do not always get along, they often have a different idea of styles of music, and so generations become a source of disunity instead of a blessing. Generations and ages may differ between people, and even between churches, but here at the pod, we believe that each generation brings something different and important to worship leading.

Talking 'Bout my Generations

My age group brings something completely different to, say, Millenials. So who is right?  Frankly, that's not the right question, because establishing a right and a wrong does not unite the church but divide it! So many churches cater purely for one generation, to the exclusion of the other age groups.  I believe this is counterproductive, and it creates a situation that I have experienced, and some of you have emailed me to tell me you have experienced.  It creates a situation where one age group gets their way, their control and their worship style, and if you're not with them, you are treated as a second class citizen! Some of you may be considered too old.  Some too young.  All of this is wrong I believe that every age group has something to contribute to worship leading, and the way we lead and draw people into the presence of God. So what does, or at least, what can each generation bring to the table.  This is an exciting and different podcast, looking at the traits of various generations, their perceived strengths and weaknesses, and discovering what each group can contribute to worship leading in your church. This podcast takes 12 minutes to look at the various generations, both young and old, and how each can make a positive and unique commitment to worship...

47- Your Worship Goals for 2020

Hey, we're back after a Christmas break, which is a summer break Downunder where we live, and we want to explore your worship goals for 2020. I hope you had a very blessed time.  We did well, but many in our family were affected by the horrific bushfires which swept the southern states of our country.  Appreciate your prayers for our nation of Australia while people rebuild their lives!

So What Are Your Worship Goals for the New Year?

So what do you want to achieve this year in your worship? Do you want to introduce new material, write some new songs, explore harmonies... or is it just a matter of survival? Maybe you want to create an environment of friendship and fellowship in your team, or perhaps you want to produce an album? Everybody is different, and every church is different as well.  That is the really cool thing about our ministries... they are intensely personal while being extremely public at the same time!  What we do on stage might be public, but what we achieve in our personal walk with God feeds into our public persona. If you aim at nothing, you'll hit it every time. So let's start the year with dreams of serving the Lord in worship to a greater height than ever before.  Even better, let us start the year with a fresh drive to know Jesus more intimately.  Knowing Him in a closer way is always one of my goals for a new year, and especially this year as it is the start of not just a new year, but a new decade! So before you launch into a new year, and a new decade, take some time to pray and ask the Lord how you should approach this year and set the right goals, not yours, your pastor's or your church's but God's goals for the new year! Welcome to 2020, the year of vision, and let's go for it!
