Episode 09: The Six Mistakes That Keep Your Church From Singing

Summary

Welcome to the WorshipWorkshop Podcast where we help you grow a stronger team that leads engaging worship.

In today’s episode, we’re looking at the common things that keeps our churches from singing.

As worship leaders and team members, we can’t make someone sing out and worship.

We’re just there trying to create an environment that encourages people to participate in this musical worship that we lead.

But here’s the problem: since we’re able to encourage participation, it stands to reason that we can also discourage it.

So here are  the six mistakes that we make that might be keep our church from singing:

  1. You have “Stand Zombies”
  2. Your songs are too high.
  3. Your songs are too complicated.
  4. You have too many new or unfamiliar songs.
  5. Worship sets are too long.
  6. Music volume is too loud or too soft.

The Worship Workshop Learning Community (Facebook Group)

Don’t know what our Worship Workshop Learning Community is?

Our new Worship Workshop Facebook Group isn’t another place to swap setlists and post pictures of your new stage design. This is about helping you transform your team members through…

  • training…
  • community…
  • encouragement…
  • and challenge.

And, it’s free to join. Each week, there will be new training lessons for you and/or your team members. And each month, there’ll be a limited-time premium class that’s geared to grow your team musically, relationally, or spiritually.

Again, it’s all free.

The Worship Workshop Learning Community Facebook Group will give you a “training space” where you can challenge your team, celebrate their wins, and give them quick, bite-size training to help them grow and mature.
