Free Christmas Tunes!

Screen Shot 2017-10-31 at 10.05.11 AMAny of you who know me at all know that I’m not really a fan on most popular Christmas music, so I am always looking for something new to refresh my holiday spirit, & to add to my Christmas setlists at church. Not only have I found my holiday soundtrack for Christmas 2017, but a new corporate gem to boot. On top of that, it’s available to download FOR FREE! [Read more…]

Burned out on Christmas Music?

screen-shot-2016-12-21-at-2-33-31-pmI am a worship pastor. I know the struggle.

NEXT: Fresh New Worship – Oct ’16

screen-shot-2016-10-09-at-3-09-47-pmI’m sorry I’ve missed a couple of months. Oddly, Hurricane Matthew’s evacuation created the downtime I needed to finish this list.

Be encouraged to let me know which of these songs you use, & how your church responds!

My job for the Summer?: Worldwide Discipleship Association had assigned me to oversee/disciple the college-aged guy Summer interns when the current leader had to leave due to a family emergency. I had no idea what I was in for! [Read more…]
