Any 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?
by
I am a worship pastor. I know the struggle. By the time your congregation knows a song, you’ve studied it, charted it, memorized it, & turned it inside out – it’s easy to get burned out on the most popular worship songs, & Christmas music can be the most overplayed. Well, if that’s you, but you still want to listen to songs that lift your spirit & put you in the mood for the Holidays, we’ve assembled a special playlist just for you!
NEXT: Fresh New Worship – Oct ’16

I’m sorry I’ve missed a couple of months. Oddly, Hurricane Matthew’s evacuation created the downtime I needed to finish this list.
If you’re new to “NEXT”, I know it’s hard to find new corporate worship songs – there is so much to sort through, especially if you want to dig deeper than the CCLI Top 50. Well, I’ve done the work for you – culling through current releases, both indie & label, curating a list of new material worth exploring. Be encouraged to let me know which of these songs you use, & how your church responds!

I needed to immediately make my way to St. Simons – an island off of coastal Georgia (at the time I didn’t know Georgia HAD a coast), between Savannah, GA & Jacksonville, FL. 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…]
