God desires worship to be the backbone of EVERYTHING we do and are! It is what we were created to do, and it is what followers of Christ will be doing forever in the presence of our holy, righteous, and almighty Father.

There were moments where I found myself defeated, wondering what the Lord was doing and why I was unable to see where my feet were headed, but He kept telling me to just say yes to Him without any doubt.

“God has allowed me to not only view worship as an opportunity I have each week to usher people into the presence of the Lord, but really, truly, it is just an opportunity for me to get to praise God for who He is, and all He has done.”

It is our calling to use the gifts, talents, and connections that God has given us to serve others.

It’s funny how God works. He takes our no and turns it into a yes, it’s just up to us how long it’ll take for us to get there.

Remember, you are not the star of the show. As worship leaders, we are merely vessels to bring glory to the Father.

This year, worship has looked like like praying on my knees, crying out in desperation to the Lord. Worship has looked like praising God for His goodness and trusting Him even when life was not perfect, easy, or predictable.

My mom likes to say I’ve been singing since before I could talk. I’m not sure if that’s true, but it does show that singing is something that has always come very naturally for me.

As someone who has been on a worship team for many years, it’s been a great experience seeing how each instrument and musician contributes to the band as a whole…

Psalm 33:3 says to “play skillfully on the strings.” What does that mean?

Something I’ve learned recently is this: “the better the marinade, the better the steak”. This saying means the better the preparation, the better the outcome.

Everything you should do should be glorifying God and His kingdom.

Worship drumming holds a bit of a special place in my heart…

A member of the Collective team, Nathan Hannah, came to talk to us at our meeting in November, here’s something he told us…

Serving the Lord is a good thing. If anybody says different, listen with caution…
