This past weekend I attended the National Youth Workers Convention in Nashville Tennessee. While there I was able to sit in the congregation while being led in worship by some awesome worship leaders like David Crowder, Mercy Me, Shane and Shane and Starfield. The music was awesome, the videos and screens were great, the stage [...]
Every day words of wisdom, words of inspiration, words of humor, words of instruction and some really random things come across my computer screen. I have some blogs in my blog roll but I thought I would share with you some of the ones you don’t see. Enjoy

When I began this blog one thing I wanted to do was to provide worship leaders and churches with free resources to use in their services. Over the past year I have shared mp3 files of songs, PDF Chord sheets, powerpoint background files and photos free for such use. My hope is that this will [...]

With an amazing summer coming to an end, I feel the need to write about the most important thing we, as a band, have learned from the experience of traveling together weeks and months at a time. It is our greatest adversary…patience.
So how do you hit the road with your best friends …the amazing musicians [...]
