as Three Boring, Spiritually Unspiritual, Simple Ideas You Can’t Not Do to Grow Your Team, Part 2 By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Tue, 23 May 2017 11:07:51 -0500 Last month we explored the idea of developing a Leadership Pipeline for your worship ministry. (If you missed it, please check out their link here. A “leadership pipeline” is an established development path for your leaders. It shows “who’s responsible for who" and "who's responsible for what." It also helps clarify a communications path for burden and responsibility. Empowering leaders to lead requires clarity. Being clear is hard work. I’ve made the mistake of keeping my “plans” top secret. I mean, what if something or someone doesn't work out or someone tries to hijack my direction! Can I tell you this…Insecurities stink! Can you relate? Ugh. I’ve learned a few priceless lessons along the way, and one of them is this: Pull the RIGHT people close and make your dreams/vision known. When you do this, you will create a culture that trusts communication from the leaders who carry a certain level of responsibility and burden. The people that you have pulled close know the dreams and plans that God has given you. They can share the weight of your dream with you and help you navigate potential problems. Sometimes, lack of clarity happens because only one person is looking at the map. Let your map be known…and let others drive. Empowering leaders to lead requires clarity Here is a sample of the leadership pipeline we use as a whole at our church. If you have any questions regarding developing a "leadership pipeline," please contact me. I have several resources to help you with this discussion and discovery. This applies to your whole church and not solely the Worship Ministry. Now on to IDEA #2. Idea #2. Make recruitment and assimilation a “normal” for everyone Here is the heart behind this: This past week at my church we hosted our monthly "OPEN." “OPEN” is a time in which we “open up” our team devotional time, production time and pre-service experience to visiting churches and leaders. The visiting church this week was a church from a different stylistic approach but from our city. They wanted to observe how we produced a "contemporary" worship service. We met for coffee a few weeks ago, and I was excited that they said yes to my invitation to attend "OPEN." During their time with us, I gave them a tour of our church and talked about our teams. I spoke about some of our values. I sensed that they wanted to talk about guitars and keyboards. We ended up talking about the power of God’s presence and how He changes lives, always. While standing backstage after rehearsal, I noticed that one of their leaders looked overwhelmed. When I asked her what she was processing, she shared with me that she was amazed that all our teams were volunteers. I responded to her that it’s amazing what people will do when they've been given the gift of second, third, fourth and fifth chances. It’s unrealistic and somewhat unfair to expect leaders to step forth without a testimony attached. The look of being overwhelmed shifted and was now accompanied by tears of awe and wonder. Saved people save people. It’s unrealistic and somewhat unfair to expect leaders to step forth without a testimony attached. She asked me a question: “How is it that so many people are involved?” Here is what I have found. Like attracts like. Visibility replicates. "Like attracts like" implies that the things that we are most excited about attracts people that are passionate about the same things. I love Apple computers and Chick-fil-A. Wouldn't you know it, I happen to attract people that tend to like Apple computers and Chick-fil-A. God is doing something special at my church. People are excited about being on our team. They attract people to our teams. “Visibility replicates” implies that whatever you make visible, whether that is a talent or behavior, is what will replicate in your culture. If you make it a priority to foster a genuine culture of prayer in your ministry, there's a pretty good chance the people that want to be a part of it have a desire to grow or be involved with the same. Likewise, if you put your worst guitar players on the platform in your biggest service every week, it tells every other bad guitar player in your church that they too are guaranteed a spot on your stage. Visibility replicates. Here’s the practical behind this: Having the right people on your team, to begin with, can be THE biggest hurdle. You know you have the RIGHT people on your team when they are EXCITED about what God is doing in your team, and YOU want to replicate them. Here are a few ideas to help you develop an assimilation culture: Decentralize the “responsibility” of getting people into your ministry by empowering capable leaders you trust. Here’s how this works at my church. Coaches are responsible for recruiting and assimilating their teams. (Guitar coach is responsible for building the guitar team). I meet with all the coaches monthly, and they give me an update on the things I need to know. They own this completely. These are the RIGHT people that have been vetted. They are VISIBLE leaders who replicate. Make “being a bringer” your “new normal." Whenever new ministry team members are on-ramped, ask them to bring someone with them! Language like “YOU DON’T HAVE TO COME ALONE!”, “WE WILL FIND A PLACE FOR YOU” really helps create consistency in an inviting team. This is where I’ve seen “Like attracts like” come alive. This is a core value that is communicated from day one, and it has become our “normal” over time. These might seem small, but they are significant. We DREAM DREAMS, but we LIVE MOMENTS. These principles are what I would call moments. "Moments" matter because they cause a chain reaction that affects forever. These two moments lead to a bigger dream of seeing our team members be “MINISTRY OWNERS." The practice of MINISTRY OWNERSHIP is a significant value. “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV "Ministry Ownership" tells a volunteer that they don't need a title to carry a burden. They don't need a title to help pastor a team. We all have different roles and talents and spiritual gifts. “Ministry Ownership” is a culture in which team members take responsibility to shepherd and build the ministry that they are a part of. I’ve just noticed that in general, people who own houses are more aware of the condition of their homes than renters are. So, let me ask you, what dream are you dreaming today? Are there smaller moments that are hijacking your bigger dream? Take some time today and pray through this. I believe that being involved in our teams has nothing to do with what God wants from us, but it's what He has for us. Jesus will be bringing the right people to your teams because God desires to use you and your leadership gifting to change the world . . . one willing person at a time. Jesus, I pray for those that might read this blog. I pray that this would be an encouragement to those feeling stuck today. I feel stuck a lot, and I am thankful that you give me grace daily to start over. I pray that you would continue to instill a spirit of bravery amongst my brothers and sisters. None of us have it all figured out, but you are still consistent and always for us. Amen. Thank you for checking out these first two ideas. Next month we will dive into Idea #3!

as Three Boring, Spiritually Unspiritual, Simple Ideas You Can’t Not Do to Grow Your Team, Part 3 By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Wed, 05 Jul 2017 21:41:56 -0500 Over the last few months we’ve tackled the topic of TEAM BUILDING. As much as I would love to feel as if we have this one nailed, we don’t. TEAM BUILDING is a muscle that every leader needs to continue to develop. It’s easy to let this one slip away from us! Just when we start to feel like we are getting on top of this, something changes. A vital team member leaves. A leader needs to take on the responsibility of a different area. Your best guitar player gets hired as the worship pastor at another church. These are all real-life situations that happen in even the best teams. They will happen to yours as well. In our “Month One” blog on team building we presented the IDEA of developing a Leadership Pipeline within your worship ministry. This IDEA helped support that idea that building an EMPOWERED TEAM is a powerful Kingdom tool. “Who’s responsible for who?” and “Who’s responsible for what?” are two of the most important questions that needs to be answered in any team environment. When you lead a team with clarity and spread out the responsibility for others to own your team, you ignite growth opportunities that might have went unnoticed. In “Month Two” we presented the idea of “Making Recruitment and Assimilation a Normal for Everyone”. So many times, I bump into Worship Leaders and Pastors that feel the very unfair burden of building ALONE. With this IDEA, we present the notion that every team can build better and faster when the team members who are on the teams are your best recruiters. Make this a normal practice. At my church, we practice asking new team members to “bring one” with you. We have found that by making this a standard practice at ground level, we never have to ask for participation from the 10,000-foot level. Whatever is visible is what replicates. Empower your best leaders to build. So here we are. Month Three. Idea #3. Clearly Identify and Communicate Simple On-Ramps. I love my city. I live in Lincoln, Ne. Home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I love the youthful spirit and progressive nature of our city. I have even grown to love and cherish the special college football atmosphere that engulfs our city on game day. It’s addictive to say the least. But one thing that I am not a big fan of is traffic on game day. There is one primary road that leads into Lincoln and over 90,000 fans make the trek to our city on game day. There are probable more if you include tailgaters. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM: The roads infrastructure needs to be able to support the traffic flow to the desired destination. If there are too many confusing pieces of communication, it would put our city into emergency mode and have catastrophic effects. I mean, the world might come to an end if people missed a Cornhusker Football Game! (No, but seriously) ;) Having clear and simple communication about “what to DO next” can make or break your teams culture. Every month I host a worship leaders round table in Omaha Ne. At this round table, Worship leaders from multiple different denominations gather for friendship and peer coaching. These leaders have become family and they are amazing. We discuss a wide range of worship ministry issues. One topic that comes up regularly is “attracting the right volunteers”. If a leader starts to pour their heart out to me about how they can’t get enough volunteers, I always ask one question to start the conversation. “Can you tell me about your on-ramp?” This might sound overly simplistic, but what I have found is that sometimes we make it more complicated than it needs to be or we haven’t identified the answer to the most important question at all. Every leader on your team, in unity, needs to be able to answer this question with clarity and simplicity. THIS IS THE QUESTION “Where do I go and What do I do?” Having clear and simple communication about “what to DO next” can make or break your teams culture. Here are a few suggestions when it comes to identifying your onramp into your ministry: 1. KEEP IT SIMPLE- Keep it simple in language and communication. Your “on-ramp” shouldn’t be riddled with complex forms, interviews and assessments. Not yet anyways. Create an “on-ramp’ that just answers the question, “where do I go and what do I do?”. Worry about next steps later. But for now, getting a “willing one” to show up is your biggest win. Make it simple for them. For example, I person asks about playing guitar on the worship team. Any leader in your department should be able to have the same simple answer. ”I am so glad you are interested! We host all our new volunteers on Monday Nights at 6:30pm! Would you be my guest?!” 2. USE WHATS ALREADY WORKING AS YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD- What is already working in your church? Do you have a rehearsal process that is spot on? USE IT! Is God’s presence so thick in your weekend worship services that lives are being transformed? USE IT! I’ve made the mistake of overthinking and over programming. I’ve launched the “extra” visitor’s night or the quarterly worship night with the intentions of attracting new people. Sometimes those things work. But the problem is that even though they may be effective, it takes a long time for those events to represent the culture and team that we want people to be attracted to. Identify what’s already working and utilize those moments to “on-ramp” your team. 3. KEEP IT CONSISTENT- Nothing can steal the wind out of the sails of progress like a good dose of inconsistency. If you “welcome” new team members on Monday nights, keep that consistent for a season. If you “welcome” new people to your choir rehearsal and you celebrate leaders that brought them, don’t change that unless you are communicating change. Consistency, on this point, allows us the opportunity to get buy in from our team! Consistency builds reliability. Consistency gives our leaders tools to build with. (Side note: We will be talking about “embracing change” and reinvention in the upcoming months.) Consistency tells our teams that we aren’t building a kingdom that only serves us, but we are leading an army that can fight battles when we share the burden. Identifying your “on-ramps” could be a simple strategy that could help you engage people better. Below is a sample of an “on-ramps” document that I created for our kid’s ministry at our church. This idea isn’t just for worship/creative teams, but for everyone. It is essential that you clearly communicate the “WHERE/HOW” to START whenever you are building teams. Keep your communication clear and simple. Try utilizing opportunities that your church is already doing well to interact with potential volunteers. Lastly, be consistent. Everyone should know the answer to this question: “Where do I go and What do I do?”. Having clear and simple communication about “what to DO next” can make or break your teams culture. Jesus, I pray today for the burden and stress that our worship leaders and pastors feel daily. We pray that you would continue to grow our capacity to shepherd well. Thank you for entrusting us with big things. We are honored to pastor your people. Please feel free to use this resource or any that you find at worship.coach. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions about these three helpful tips. I am always glad to help.

as The Worship Podcast (Episode 5): Women in Ministry, with Krissy Nordhoff By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Wed, 04 Jul 2018 11:11:43 -0500 On today's podcast, we wanted to cover a very important topic. It's forefront in our culture, yes, but it's also important in the church, too. Specifically, in worship and songwriting. That topic is ... women in ministry. We here at The Worship Podcast (All About Worship & WeAreWorship) completely affirm and believe in the ability, anointing and commission of women to minister to the church body, and of course, to others around them. In a way, it's strange to even feel the need to type that sentence. But as society and culture is starting to have some real confusion and controversy over this gender topic, we believe as Christians we should lead the way in freedom! We should set the example in empowerment, equal contribution in the Kingdom of God and a general attitude of preferring one another. Now, this is a huge topic! So we wanted to sit down with someone who is making a real difference in this world. Her name is Krissy Nordhoff. She leads a ministry called "Brave Worship". She's also an accomplished songwriter, anointed worship leader, wife, mother, and lucky for us, a friend of The Worship Podcast ministry! It doesn't matter what "side of the aisle" you believe you are on when it comes to this topic - we can all benefit from having genuine conversation and even more important, listening. Find out more about Brave Worship and make sure to check out their podcast, as well! And oh yeah, last (and certainly least in this case), Dustin & James don't mince words about their travels to India ... stomach issues and all.

as Always Be Chasing By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Wed, 29 Aug 2018 18:56:07 -0500 In a world where people chase fads, originality is hard to come by. Whether it’s music, fashion, or even the words we say, people are always chasing things to remain relevant. This is visible in churches. You can see it on our stages. Gone are the days of the huge wooden pulpits. They’ve been replaced by tall tables you’d see at a coffee shop. There is nothing wrong with this. I have no problem with it. It’s just a visual representation of what our culture is like. Our clothing has changed. Worship leaders, both men and women, are wearing tighter and tighter clothes. It’s interesting because when I was growing up, men wore suits and ties. If you were on stage you had to look presentable. From my understating it came from an idea of dressing your best for the Lord. Again, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with this either. There’s actually a lot of honor for God at the heart of it. However, with the motivation of trying to reach young people, we’ve changed our dress code to make them feel more comfortable. Slowly but surely, we’ve made church more about making people feel comfortable than to establish a heart in the people to honor God. It’s a fine line though. How do we remain relevant and still honor God without being legalistic? It’s pretty tough but there is a way, I believe. We as worship leaders must look at what we’re chasing. For me, even in songwriting, I have to take a step back sometimes and look at what I’m chasing. Am I chasing God or the things he’s created? Chasing God or the gifts he’s given? Church leaders get burned out by chasing the wrong things. The bible says in Isaiah 40 NLT . . . Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings of eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. We get burned out by running after things we think people want us to be. What has God called you to be? To do? Are we giving God what He desires with our life? I’ll leave you with a scripture that has both inspired and convicted me. I can’t stand your religious meetings. I’m fed up with your conferences and conventions. I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I’m sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making. I’ve had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? - Amos 5:21 Let that sink in. When’s the last time you sang to him? Chase him and chase His righteousness. Everything else will come after that. You will run and not grow faint. Full Article

as When Christmas Is Anything But Joyful By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Tue, 11 Dec 2018 13:36:17 -0600 Anyone who has been serving in the local church long enough knows that ministry is a 24/7 - 365 gig. There is no off-season. There are no slow months. And there definitely is no such thing as part-time. In fact, those times of the year when everyone else is enjoying extra time with family and friends, church leadership is usually pulling overtime like it’s a lifeline. As I type these words, we are waist deep in the Christmas season. Trees are up and decorated. Garland is strung on anything that will sit still. Sales are in full bloom. On the church front children’s Christmas programs are wrapping up, Christmas Eve service times are being blasted all over social media, and worship leaders all over the world are trying to figure out the perfect set lists. That all sounds so simple, doesn’t it? If only that were the case. But for most people in church leadership, the Christmas season is anything but simple. I don’t know about you, but this year in particular seems uncharacteristically heavy. It feels like every time I turn around, I learn about someone else in my little corner of the world who is walking through something tragic . . . a death, job loss, divorce, a diagnosis, and the list goes on. Sure, there are plenty of wonderful things happening in the midst, but the fight every single day is to not let those wonderful things get overshadowed by the not-so-wonderful. And I have a feeling that until Jesus comes, that fight is going to get tougher every year. So as worship leaders, what role do we play in helping both our worship team members and the people we serve navigate a season that at times can feel more joyless than joyful? Unfortunately there is no secret formula, but I do have a few tips that might resonate with some of you who are entering into Christmas surrounded by people who are suffering, or even walking a tough road yourself. Acknowledge the hurt. A precious friend of mine lost her 2 1/2 year old little boy unexpectedly right before Thanksgiving this year. Not terribly long after his death, she posted a quote that basically said not to avoid mentioning him out of fear of somehow reminding her that he was gone. She hasn’t forgotten, and never will. Instead what you’re reminding her of is that he lived. The people around us who are hurting don’t wake up some days having forgotten what is going on. They don’t walk through the doors of our churches and suddenly feel all better. So what good does it do for us to tip toe and pretend like nothing is going on, whether face to face or from the stage? When the Bible tells us to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep, it doesn’t say anything about holidays being exceptions or saving it for certain settings. The church operates at her best when she comes around those hurting especially at times like these. So call it for what it is - painful - and you might be amazed at the new level of freedom that is felt in the room. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. - Romans 12:15 Give a reason to celebrate. When everything is on the table and there is a rich sense of acceptance for everyone regardless of their mental, emotional, or spiritual state, the door to authentic celebration tends to open a little easier. It may not look the same as the person sitting next to them, but reminding them of the truths of who God is, what He’s done, and what He’s still doing will always prove fruitful - even if it’s just one more layer of doubt being broken off. At their lowest points, those who are hurting need to be reminded that there are still things in their lives to find joy in. Then once they are tapping into that joy that only comes from the Lord, they begin to experience a renewed strength they might not have thought was possible. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. - Nehemiah 8:10 Root it all in HOPE. The most important piece to the puzzle of loving well those who are hurting is to keep everything established and fixed on HOPE. Nothing you say or do is going to make things all better for them or take their pain away, but the HOPE of Christ can and will move the needle. If a hurting person leaves your presence or your church service knowing and believing that things will not always feel this way and that Jesus is able to replace their suffering with victory, their pain with joy, and their grief with peace, then you’ve done your job well. So keep HOPE as your North Star. Center it all around the fact that a baby was born to change everything, that our current sufferings are not in vain, that He wastes nothing. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 Whether it’s someone on your team walking through the most painful time of his or her life or a family in your congregation experiencing a tragedy, you have been given the opportunity to breathe life back into a place where death has begun settling in. Pray for open eyes to see the hurt around you. Ask the Lord to open doors for you to speak into those lives. Make the most of those chances and watch the Holy Spirit do what He does best.

as Christmas . . . Don't Be A Scrooge By www.allaboutworship.com Published On :: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 09:21:26 -0600 Ok. It’s Christmas. It’s the weird time of year where everyone seems so jolly, kids are all well-behaved and the money flows like we are all Bill Gates. It can also be a stressful time of year for parents, teachers, leaders and especially Santa. It becomes super easy to complain and tell everyone how BAD things are...BUT! We can make this the best time of year for people everywhere! This truly is a magical season (and let’s all be reminded of WHY...hint: it’s Jesus), so lets make it so. Help spread the good cheer, so to speak. So, here are James’ 5 simple ways NOT to be a scrooge (or insert appropriate adjective here) this year. BE FRIENDLY. Oh boy, I literally just felt you roll your eyes. Seriously though, this can be overlooked in so many ways. For instance; when was the last time you texted a friend for no reason but to say “I’m thinking about you and praying for your family this season!”. Ok, some of you do that, but what about to people that aren’t really your friends? Take a moment and scroll through your contacts list and see who you can reach out to just as a friendly person to say your thinking about them. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll make more friends and you’ll be giving someone a much needed boost during the day. BUY STUFF. Ok, this one is mainly for me. I LOVE presents. Who doesn’t? But, we all know someone around who might need something. Might be clothes, shoes, a jacket...or food. Maybe a neighbor you’ve seen who just moved in, or a friend you know would love a candle for their home. These little things add up and can express value to those around you. GET TOGETHER. C'mon people! Have people over to your house! ‘Tis the season for big meals! Hey, and if your house isn’t big enough, then meet at someone else's’! Getting together regularly strengthens friendships and keeps you out of isolation in a season when it's easy to hide away. Force yourself to be with other people on a regular basis. LAUGH. For the benefits of this, see my article on “Medicinal Laughter”. Trust me, laughing is good for you. For those of you that aren't funny (I know who you are), practice some jokes! Yes, practice. And practice bad jokes too. It sounds weird but even a poorly told joke, around good people, can lighten up the room and show you are willing to go the extra mile so those around you can laugh and have a good time. For those of you that are funny, unleash the crazy. NO COMPLAINING. This is tough in today's society and culture. Complaining is almost a given. From politics to sports, family to work, we can cover the whole gamut. Make a conscious effort to try focusing on positives in regular conversations. Write down 5 good things that are happening in the world, or at work, or in your family and focus on those things in conversation. Not only will people respond favorably toward you, you’ll feel better too. There you go. Some good starters for the season, and you might as well carry them through to the new year too. We can have enough battles to face ourselves over Christmas, we might as well not be a battle to someone else. Kapish? ...Kaposh. Remember, all in all, that we are called to love people and love God. So be a good example of that moving forward! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Full Article
