332- Worship Team Foldback

Worship team Foldback matters because hearing yourself on stage matters.

"Can You Turn Your Worship Team Foldback Down Please!"

This is true for every worship team, especially if you have a smaller auditorium and a worship band that is prone to be a bit loud. So trust me, if you find yourself telling your band members to turn down time and time again, or if you constantly have singers asking your sound guys to turn them up ("Dude, can you turn me up I can't hear anything up here!"), then this is a podcast you really need to hear! Your worship team foldback is a critical part of the way you perform as a worship team.  If the on-stage sound is too loud, the sound guy has nothing to work with at the front of the house.  In fact, some of the sound people I talk to have just turned off the front speakers and walked away!  When the stage sound is so loud that the sound person turns off the front speakers, and people still complain it is all too loud, then things are really needing to change. One of the things we discuss in this podcast is in-ear speakers, which can minimise your onstage noise dramatically.  These are still quite expensive, but they can work well, so Erick and Darin discuss this as one of the more modern options for dealing with worship team foldback issues. So whether you are leading worship in a big church, small church, traditional or modern church, if you are ministering on stage, the level of your on-stage sound really does matter!  There are new and innovative ways of dealing with hearing yourself on stage, and we even allude to new and innovative ways to deal with those who have their own sound too loud and refuse to turn down! Learn all the tricks that could improve your sound week by week in this special podcast...

330- Managing Talented Team Members

Every worship leader wants talented team members, but often times when we get them we do not know how to manage them.

What's the Secret to Managing Talented Team Members?

Do we change things for them, or do we treat them like every other worship team member?  Do we push them to the front, or make them "do their time" in the background?  Are you catering to the pride of Talented Team Members, or are you supposed to keep them humble? This revealing podcast will help you manage talented team members, and all the other team members as well.  How do you deal with jealousy in the team, because trust me, if you have Talented Team Members someone is going to get a little intimidated and threatened at some time. We also talk about how you will feel if someone more talented than you comes along.  Can you celebrate the talent, or are you threatened by having someone better than you in your team? OK, sure, some of the really talented people who come along are prideful as well, but I have found that many of them are quite humble, and some even feel used and abused by pastors and worship leaders. Most in my experience are coming into the team, not to big note themselves, but to serve, and to do their best to shine for the Lord. So settle back and listen to the guys discuss the very real and pertinent issue of how to best manage team members who are talented.  We will inspire you to honour and elevate those with real talent, how to keep their hearts humble, how to keep your heart humble and how to manage them so that they and the whole team benefit. We will show you how to love them, how to inspire them and how you can allow those Talented Team Members to positively influence the other members of your worship team...       ..

327- Is it OK to Visit Other Churches?

Is it OK to visit other churches, or if you do is it an act of disloyalty?

Be Honest if You Want to Visit Other Churches

This is a controversial and uncomfortable question, so the pod team thought we should have a balanced and serious look at this. Many worship leaders feel guilty if they skip one of their church services and visit another church, mainly because we tend to visit larger, more successful churches than our own.  Is this guilt justified?  Should we tell others, or just sneak around on our own? Erick and Darin share real-life experiences they have had visiting other churches and discuss the ethical and moral implications for those who do take a week out from their church and their responsibilities to check out other churches. Clearly, we all can learn from other churches.  As a worship leader, I am constantly learning from watching other worship leaders and other worship teams in an effort to improve my praise and worship leading. Attending another church can add to this experience. You can also visit other churches when you are away on holidays, and this is one way to glean useful information without the guilty conscience! However, there are times when some worship leaders (not you of course!) go to another church to connect with their pastor and potentially open the door to a better worship leader position.  As the team discusses today, this is definitely not an OK reason to visit another church! Oh, and we also discuss what you should say to your pastor.  In the end, honesty is always best, but you can share your heart without upsetting or becoming a threat to the leadership. So settle back and listen to the worship leader podcast as we discuss this important issue.  If you've ever wanted to check out another church, this is a very important podcast for you...
