About

This blog exists to help worship leaders, songwriters, creatives, and church leaders do what they do better.

Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile the big concert stages with the every day practicality of ministry in the local church. I want to help connect the dots. My writings are brief, practical, and applicable to being a creative leader in the local church today. Thanks for stopping by.

I am a Worship Pastor at Allison Park Church in Pittsburgh, PA. You may or may not be a worship leader. Even thought I gear my writings towards that audience, I write plenty of content on worship, leadership, songwriting, music, creativity, and social media.

I typically post 5-6 times a week. If you’d like, you can subscribe for free to all my posts via RSS or email.
