The Big Rocks First – by Mike Harland
Nearly all of us have seen or heard a demonstration that goes like this: the leader places a big jar on the table and next to it are several big rocks, a few smaller stones, some small pebbles, and sand. Then, the question is asked, “Do you think all of this can fit into the jar?”
Worship Distractions from Worship Leaders – by Mike Harland
Admittedly, this post is somewhat “tongue in cheek” and intended to let us laugh at ourselves a little. I’m calling out some intangibles of our physical expressions in worship we sometimes employ to generate more energy and enthusiasm from our congregations. See if any of these “go to” moves are something you do and ask yourself, “Is this really a distraction?”
Why Is Our Worship Expression Changing? – by Mike Harland
Recently, I was speaking to a lay leader from a church who had a concern about a change she is seeing in the worship of her church. The congregational response is becoming more and more visible and expressive. People are clapping, lifting their hands, standing up during a presentational song, kneeling at the altar, and […]

I Need Worship. You Need Worship. We All Need Worship. – by Brandon Janous
A few months ago, the Worship Pastor at the church that my family attends left for a new opportunity at a new church in a new town. Our church has had a hard time filling the void, and, to be honest, I’ve struggled with “worship time” since this transition occurred. I remember having a conversation […]
