#ThePracticeOfPractice
Is Practice Perfect?
It starts with God working in you and ends with His plans. As you set out to practice, make a commitment to yourself and to your band.
Recently, we talked about the following: Can each person in the band devote themselves to practice at least 10 minutes per day?
Can each member play their own part well among others – in the mix?
Can each member implement these changes during the time of worship, and not just react like a deer-in-the-headlights, and revert back to the same playing habits?

#AttitudeFail
Time: 30m video
Check Pride At The Door
Check the ego at the door, before you hit the worship floor. We all have it, but how do we better deal with it?
It’s your team, in your church, in your family and in you. What breaks a spirit of any unity is caused by the failure of a positive attitude. This can look like negative egos, agendas and divisiveness. So how do you check pride at the door and to avoid #AttitudeFail?

Stop Forcing Worship
Ever been tempted to sum up the success of a worship service based on how loudly people sing or how many raise their hands during your songs?
As far as worship leading: God does not hold up a score card.
The more people engage in (and clap for) our music the more we tend to think they’re worshiping.
Is this really true?

We Can’t Make People Worship
Does worship happen even when they are not singing?
When we lead others in praise, our goal should always be that they are led to truly worship God.
Praise can be done with the head alone. Anyone can cognitively choose to lift a hand or outwardly sing along on a song.
However, only those whose hearts have been changed—only those who have been born again of the Spirit—can authentically engage their hearts and worship the Lord inwardly.

Carl Albrecht #BehindTheDrums
There are so many songs in contemporary worship, a drummer might think it’s impossible to learn them all. Carl Albrecht has taken on this monstrous task in order to show you how to prepare for the grooves of worship. After analyzing the top 100 CCLI Worship songs (www.ccli.corn), Carl found that there are only “seven”, essential types of drum patterns used in modern worship. Even though there are arrangements to learn according to each song the basic elements for drummers are not overwhelming.
In each section, Carl breaks down the drum grooves into simple musical terminology explaining with great detail the parts of each pattern. Even though he makes reference to the list of CCLI hits, he moves quickly through each concept in order to get your own journey of learning these seven essential grooves.
Even though the teaching is designed for the beginning to intermediate player, even advanced drummers will find this conceptual teaching to be a helpful resource in their continued learning. Once you’ve grasped these basic drum feels you’ll be equipped to learn any modern worship song.
Carl has been a professional drummer & percussionist for over 40 years. He has a Bachelors of Music Degree in Composition and Arranging with an emphasis in percussion studies from Webster University in St. Louis, Mo. He has played on over 80 Integrity Music projects; Maranatha Praise Band recordings 7 thru 10, & numerous other Christian, Pop, Country, Jazz, & Commercial projects.
Carl has worked with such artist as Ron Kenoly, Don Moen, Paul Baloche, Brian Doerkson, Kathryn Scott, Leann Albrecht, Nick Myers, Robin Mark, Lenny LeBlanc, Bob Fitts, Paul Wilbur, Alvin Slaughter, Darrell Evans, Phil Driscoll, Koinonia, Abe Laboriel & Friends, Kim Hill, Paul Overstreet, LeAnn Rimes, Connie Smith, Don Potter, Jason Upton, Travis Cottrell, Tom Lane, Tim Hughes, Garo Nargiz, Mark Robins, the jazz group – Quad Venti, the Joe Gross Quartet, and many others.
He currently lives in Nashville doing recording sessions, producing, and writing, as well as continuing to do various tours & seminar events. Contact him for your event or project; it’s easier than you think! LMAlbrecht@aol.com

#LongingForChrist
Longing For Joy
God offers us that joy only through relying on Him when things get overwhelming. The antidote for heaviness is praise. When we praise God with thankfulness in the midst of trials, our spirits are lifted, and our sorrow turns to joy.

As a #WorshipLeader and a #WorshipTeam It may sound impossible, but with God, all things are possible. Be the leader He has already called you to be. The starting point is closer than you think, all you need to do is take one step forward.
Whether we take our worship across the sea or across the street, one thing’s for sure, we must take it outside the walls of our church—to a world that desperately needs to see our praise and trust in the Lord.
Learn for yourself in this webinar with Dwayne Moore will share how being a “next level” worshiper must include being missional with our worship. He and Branon will also discuss practical ways we can lead our worship teams to share their faith and disciple others through worship.
Discover what it means to have God give you powerful principles that will impact your missionary leadership forever.
Dwayne Moore is an author, speaker and worship leader coach. He is president of Next Level Worship International, a non-profit ministry serving worship leaders around the world. Dwayne has written numerous books, including the award-winning Pure Praise: A Heart-focused Bible Study on Worship as well as Pure Praise for Youth (co-written with Mark Hall of Casting Crowns).
