The Metamorphosis process (Transforming from immaturity into maturity)
The life of a butterfly has a very interesting life, it is called, “The metamorphosis process”. Did you know that butterflies have ears on the bottom end of their wings? These ears are sensors (veins). These veins swell up and they create motion to allow the butterfly to hear sounds and movement. I love the…
Are you a lighthouse in times of darkness?
This post in some ways is different from my usual postings. I usually post about worship leading and worship teams, but I had this strongly down in my spirit. I hope it encourages you today during these trying times. When the New Year 2020 came upon us this past January, so many people were hopeful…
Who is in the center of your stage?
Who is in the center of your stage? Worship leaders and worship teams, “Who is in the center of your stage”? Have you kept the center stage for our true and only King, Jesus? Or have you made the stage so crowded with performance , superstar mentality and entitlement attitudes that we truly have forgotten…
The Orderly Audio/Sound Man
Have you, worship leader, worship team member, pastor or a member of the congregation ever really thought about your sound engineer?

Worship is more than a song
Maybe you have been in church for most of your life or just for a short time. You can recognize the high times and the excitement in the people to worship their God. They walk into church and before service starts, they have smiles on there faces singing a worship tune in their heads for…
Have we become so sophisticated in the church, that we have lost our first love?
I have been doing a study on the church of Ephesus from Rick Renner. He is such a gifted teacher and communicator. You should go and check him out (Renner.org). As I have been doing this study on the Ephesus church, I began to see the familiarities of the past church of Ephesus and our…
Are you a Boaz, Ruth or David in your ministry?
I know this is a very different title for my post. I hope it will intrigue your interest to read further. One afternoon I was thinking about Naomi and Ruth in the Bible and how it pertains to my daily walk and in my leadership role. As I was thinking out loud how Naomi had…
