Following Jesus is not a "one size fits all". He has a unique calling for each one of us.

Category: MUSIC MINISTRY
With 25 years of experience in the ministry of worship and ongoing church ministry, I share a wealth of my own experience and insight, here, to assist those of you who serve in ministry in the local church and your communities and for those who simply desire a deeper walk with God and inspiration in their life of worship.
Christmas Wonder
I love winter. I revel in the stillness and find solace in the quiet. All of life seems to slow done, except maybe during the Christmas holidays where it can get pretty crazy in everyone's house. But even then, there is a return to simplicity, joy and rest. A season of anticipation, a gathering of [...]
Ten Things Worship Leaders Should Exhibit If They’re Going To Lead Well…That Have Nothing To Do With Music.
This week while studying God's Word, the Lord brought me to 1 Thessalonians chapter two to an amazing portion of scripture where Paul was talking about his conduct among the believers and those he led and did life with. He was entrusted with the Gospel to bring it to them and he began to talk [...]
Fighting the Battle of Self-Rejection
Self-rejection is a taboo subject because it contains so many implications. Yet, millions of us, the majority, women, engage in this practice daily. Some to very severe degrees to the point of eating disorders, domestic violence, drug additions, self-mutilation and self-abasement of the worst kinds.

The Unseen Life of Worship
If you have been following THE WORSHIP LIFE blog for any amount of time, you know I'm all about a LIFE of worship and not just a SONG of worship. I'm a huge advocate of Romans 12:1- Worship as living sacrifices! It's difficult for me to see social media feeds about worship as concerts, lights, [...]
Does God Care When I Suffer?
This is the age-old question....does God care? And particularly, does God care when I suffer? Suffering is common to us all. Every human being experiences it in one form or another. Some, very traumatically and others, in the day to day of our lives, relationships and circumstances. NO ONE is exempt. In my attempt to bring [...]

The Making of a Warrior

A prayer you whispered or fervently cried out to God with tears and burning in your heart to be molded into the image of Christ? Crying out that you wanted more of God? Prayers that you would be strengthened against the evil [...]
