There seems to be a bunch of writers these days writing something akin to the title of this blog. There are songs, letters, books, and more all written to the author’s “younger self.” So, when someone close to me suggested I do one of those, I thought it might be a good idea. As I’ve thought […]

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.

Is There Room for the Unexpected in Our Worship? – by Mike Harland

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 […]

4 Songs We Shouldn’t Forget About – by Mike Harland
We move on from songs really quickly these days. A song will come out of nowhere, take the church by storm, then fade away to be forgotten. As musicians, we move past songs much faster than our congregations do. Usually, by the time they feel like they know it well enough to really sing it, […]
