Casting vision is hard.
It’s like a journey that never ends.
When you feel like slowing down and celebrating your progress, you realize…there’s much further to go. A new momentum is needed.
How do you maintain it?
It’s quite possible that you’re stressed out of your mind right now.
If you’re not, you will be soon. Why? Because it’s Christmas time. Not only is it the season for wrapped gifts, christmas parties, egg nog, red cups at starbucks, and lots of gift cards…
It’s the season of long rehearsals, massive productions, and many services. For the normal American, Christmas time is a season to relax.
For the pastor, it’s work.

Christian music is dying.
More and more artists are fleeing all associations with the label to pursue a more honest form of art.
Is this a healthy transition or are we becoming too artistic in a way that’s destroying our souls?
Do you find yourself obsessed with preparation? Do you hesitate making decisions and taking responsibility today because of fear?
Welcome to the club.
I once heard a preacher say that we spend so much time perfecting our aim, that we never actually shoot.
Does that describe you?
Worship songs.
There are plenty of them, but are they saying what needs to be said?
Our recent conversation about the importance of theology has led me to consider the content of our worship songs.
Do you know it’s possible to be a worship leader and not really know God?
But you already know that. You know your own tendency to go through the motions. To fake it. To pretend your passion.
