Divine Design: An Exploration of Beauty & Purpose
There’s an age-old debate within the creative community that has to do with the source of an artist’s inspiration and purpose of their creative expression. You’ve probably heard it described as form vs function, method vs message, or aesthetics vs utilitarianism. Over the years I have found that creative people are split almost evenly when…
Ministry: Dead Batteries and Broken Chargers
The other day I was watching something…really…important… on TV. When a commercial came on, I (being a man) tried to change the channel, but my remote control didn’t work. I couldn’t figure out why, but then I found the batteries to the remote (they had the brand name of the TV printed on them) in…
When the Soul Felt Its Worth
In a short while, we will celebrate the coming of Christ, the birth of the Messiah, and Advent, our time of waiting and expectancy, will be over. As I struggled with what to write about for this blog post, there was one thing I knew for sure: you, dear reader, do not need to read one…
A Ministry Of Hands
“Take a few moments to say ‘good morning’ and shake the hands of those around you.” “Let’s all clap our hands and make a joyful noise unto the Lord.” “If you feel comfortable, I want to encourage you to raise your hands before the Lord in worship.” “As you leave the service today, remember that…
What is Prophetic Art: Preparing a Table
Artists are the life-givers in culture. We are a pivotal intersection point where the Kingdom of Heaven meets culture. It is there that we have the unique opportunity, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to translate the Kingdom of Heaven into a language that bypasses words and goes directly into the human spirit. When…
The Heart of Worship
The Heart of Worship “When the music fades, all is stripped away…the heart of worship.” These words, penned by writer and worshiper Matt Redman, has swept the nation for more than a decade. It is most likely one of those songs that has been sung so many times that it has become a routine…
Worship Leader Devotional “Going Deeper”: The Process
Worship Leader Devotional “Going Deeper”: The Process One of the most famous quotes credited to Ralph Waldo Emerson is that, “Life’s a journey not a destination.” How true this statement is, yet how often we find ourselves more captivated by the destination and miss so much from the journey. Life is not the “end all.”…
Worship Ministry: Beyond the Walls
Worship Ministry: Beyond the Walls I struggled for quite a while with what exactly God had intended for me when it came to my faith and works. It’s amazing that our plan A isn’t usually Gods plan A. Many times over we may be reaching for an idea or goal that just plain isn’t what…
Studio Teamwork
Studio Teamwork Many times over I have been asked what it is like to record in a studio. Those questions bring to mind a harmonious and memorable Christian experience to say the least. We were blessed to have some extraordinary musicians and technicians involved from start to finish. I would be remiss if I said…
The Parable of 2 Brothers (The one will not leave the other)
Well this morning was a little different than the average going to church day. You see, my children were part of the church’s Christmas play. I believe it was their first play. Now for a little background, you’ll need this to understand where I am coming from. My oldest son (5) is very shy, however…
