Not needed though. Its cultural. "Let your fruits show it" would be more Biblical.... Many people fake the face really well and aim for the looks. ( Christians of some ethnic groups look grumpy most of the time, so?) That's the problem with modern American Christianity - looks over fruits and substance...

Some people on stage are “performing for you”. But they shouldn’t be. They should be performing for God. And those in the congregation should be performing for God as well. We all worship as 1 to an audience of One. Our Job is to be a vessel of music played skillfully to encourage and to lead the congregation. The musicians in the Bible are never mentioned as performers. Let’s get it right. You guys have a huge platform

first off; thank you for doing these kinds of videos! secondly; I've been given the name "cool guitar guy" at my current home church (I promise this is NOT a title by choice; my ego is in check I swear haha) due to the fact how much I move around and and involve my entire body in the way I play. I LOVE that I get to play guitar first off; Imo it's the coolest and greatest thing ever. What's even cooler is that I get to play guitar for the King of kings. The music starts in the heart first and moves it's way to the fingers. Even when I'm not playing, I'm still moving my body in motion simply because it's the nature of who I am. This isn't me tooting my own horn but I've never had any worship leader tell me "you need to work on your stage presence." It's something that just comes naturally to me.

@walkindalight 6 жыл бұрын

I would suggest that you make this a matter of prayer. At our church, one of our pioneer Worship Leaders said when he first attended the church 20 years ago the worship music was traditional and lifeless. He actually didn't want to be at the church but felt the Lord called him there to teach the people how to worship. His obedience to that calling, plus prayer and patience have led to the stage where our church has a far more vibrant & contemporary worship style. I suspect you will find that you have a spiritual 'battle' ahead of you, but don't be overwhelmed. Jesus will give you strength and wisdom.

I am a Christian. I play drums and have served on 5 worship teams over the last 15 years (due to relocating for school and then job)...like I guess you could say high level worship teams (auditions, rehearsals, in-ears, click tracks, big productions, etc.) for larger churches. Anyway, the teams have consisted of really amazing people, musicianship, and accountability. It was a lot of fun. I have lasting relationships that I feel bring me closer to God because of the teams I was allowed to serve on. That being said, I've watched these videos about stage presence, rehearsal, song selection, etc. I've come to the conclusion that the worship leader/team model and probably even the way we do church is just not biblical. I cannot find examples in the bible of Christians gathering to hear the same paid speaker give a sermon on a stage after a paid worship leader sings songs with an unpaid team. I love the Lord. I love his Word. I guess I've just grown tired of the way church and corporate worship are done over the years. That is all. Rant over.

@sangkong9738 3 жыл бұрын

I would encourage you to look into the Levites and how they were given the responsibility to serve the other tribes of Israel. They had no possessions or portion, but God instructs the other tribes of Israel to give to a tithe to those "worship leaders" and this includes the pastors. This is how I believe gives biblical precedent for modern worship leaders. Personally, I find some of these videos not correct to me, but it's the internet, just take what is beneficial for you and your walk and church, and glorify God with those learnings. Different churches have convictions over how best to worship God on Sunday, and there are many points of view, and neither is better than the other. Some are purely preference, some are not (i.e. completely against what the bible teaches). You might like a more liturgical church.

@livewellleadwell 2 жыл бұрын

@@sangkong9738 I totally agree with you. Since we have pretty much no New Testament examples of music, band, worship teams, etc. (or kids ministries, greeters, and all the rest), the best we can do is to look back at what God told his people to do in the New Testament. But while we are on that topic, it seems to me that a dedicated worship team and well-studied and consistently teaching pastor/elder is MORE biblical than a singular song-leader + organ, a choir of singers singing "specials," and a round-robin rotation of fellas in the church taking their turn throwing a sermon together. I don't think those are "straw man" examples either :)

Elijah, as a worship leader I also prefer to use the term lead worshiper. I do so because the pastor of the church is the true worship leader of the church and is overall responsible for leading the body into worship. Yes the Spirit of God prompts us and convicts us to worship but biblically the the one leading the worship of the church is the pastor (elder). Hope that helps!

I think the "church" gets hung up on titles. The bible says we were called for battle and also leading the singers with their musical instruments leading the praise. So we can be called praise leaders, worship leaders, leaders of worship etc... we know who our king is an his ultimate dominion over everything that we do. SO if we are playing our part and allowing the anointing he planted in us to usher in his sweet presence in the house of the lord who cares about the title? Be obedient to the holy spirit/ghost and worship and allow God to LEAD you. References used. 2 Chronicles 20:21 2 Chronicles 23:13

I led worship for over 30 years and I went to a worship service where the music came from behind ( kinda weird at first) and only the words were in front of people. Wow. That totally changed my perspective. You didn’t focus on people or personalities...

I like some of your points especially worshiping away from the mic. However, I feel like we're discrediting the power of the Holy Spirit by placing so much emphasis on how we control the environment. Me personally, in the age of KZfaq I've tried to mimic what I see at these huge worship conferences, and recapture the "energy" that I experienced at one of those events, but once I freed myself from those expectations, I was able to lead more effectively and worship at our church has been awesome. I think we have to understand that if we submit to the Holy Spirit (that energy), then we're allowing our lives to be impacted right then and there. Just some food for thought, but I love what you guys do. I have learned a lot from all of what you share so keep it up!

@bmitchellmusic 6 жыл бұрын

Great points, for sure. We're more attacking this from the "I don't know what to do on stage can you help me" kinda angle. Certainly let the Holy Spirit lead you! I think until you know how to hear the Holy Spirit talk to you in those moments and how to navigate personal worship vs. leading corporate worship these are just some great starting points to make it feel and look more natural!

Maybe if I'm doing a concert and people are paying to see my band, then I'll put on a "performance". But when I'm ushering people into the presence of the Most High, then I'm leading. Just like the horn blowers, leading Israel around the walls of Jericho. I do believe that they are very different. But the other 99% of the video was extremely helpful. Gid bless you guys and your ministry!

Her voice was like sand paper,just terrible you might say.But she started to sing an old time song ,the spirit took over and you never seen anything like it,People were crawling down to the alter ,crying and weeping everywhere you looked.Best service we ever had .I had really hoped that that experience would of carried over .but it didn't . Next Sunday it was come and let us entertain you.Sadly that church is a hardware store now.

I agree to what's conveyed on the video. Music is one of God's greatest gifts and we as worship leaders can use it to influence and to draw people into worshiping(Although i've had issues with getting really expensive stuffs for music which again is church specific). Best stage presences are the ones where the people on stage are authentic. But what's your take on using special effect fogs and too much lightings on stage. I'm not against the use of music or having a good stage set. But what do you guys think about overdoing it? Is lights flickering to the rhythm of the song or the usage of special effect fogs not a bit too much? I understand that it's about feeling the energy of a song. But if we draw people just with all these fog and lightings ,are we encouraging people to follow an unhealthy worship culture wherein they expect good visuals to worship and not try to worship on their own?

I definitely see what you're asking and understand your concern. Definitely want to be careful not to overdue it but using those things can aid in setting the proper environment. We are careful not to let it become a distraction. We have moments regularly where we just sing without all of that. It brings people back to the heart of it all and reminds them the real reason we're here/there.

@carlostorres1171 6 жыл бұрын

Bradford Mitchell Word. In my church (The Father’s House in Vacaville Ca) we will often sing the chorus of a hymn, sometimes the entire thing, and we sort of strip away the artifice for that particular moment. No IMAG. No awesome colored lights. Just lyrics on the screen, piano/pad and vocal (sometimes it builds from there.) it’s a really sweet moment. Sometimes I’d like to do that all the time. Other times I’m like, “ Rudy! (Our LD) Give is ALL OF THE LIGHTS!!!” Haha

@jemsar2 Жыл бұрын

I'll include this: Often distractions do get in the way. Whether it's the production, lighting, dancing, church being too hot, cold, or just plain and simple, the band, can get in the way of corporate worship. Somethings are perfectly normal. But many of these are "above normal" and can be overkill, causing the greater distraction. What say you?

Totally agree. I guess the problem with me as the only electric guitarist, I have to fulfill the role of multiple ones and keys at the same time, so it gets to be a bit overwhelming at times, rarely but it does happen. Also because if that I feel very self conscious about my playing, even though I’m told I’m great at what I do, I feel like I’m overpowering the songs or killing the mood, and all those thoughts distract me from worshiping, and it’s harder than it sounds to let it go. Any suggestions???

Man I think if no one (worship leader, other band members, sound guy, etc.) is saying you’re overplaying you should just keep at it!

Not sure I'd use Hillsong as an example. It's about worship not worshiptainment. But I play with my music on an iPad mounted on a music stand. There's no way I can memorize it every week because it's always changing (and I'm old). But I keep the iPad low so it's not covering my face. I'm always conscious of movement so I'm not doing windmills...making sure I'm not doing a Hendrix thing playing with my teeth.

Why it seems that Performing Art vs Real GOD's Presence are in battle. And as long as the stage remains a stage and not an ALTAR, it is a show business. Is this how you guys see the fact? The worship technology has been so advanced the bushmen tribe will be so startled and amazed.

Hey Bradford, what's up with those contrasty pocket tshirts? Are they reversible? Did you make them? I see a bunch of different ones on your vids. Just kidding bro, you've taught me a lot!

Simply I play and sing the songs directly to The Lord, as opposed to "leading worship". The more I concentrate on that and not "oh boy I hope I hit this note/chord" the better services go. Checking your fly is an extremely complex move on stage, involving subtleties that have to be executed perfectly. 😆

I play cello and at this point really need my music, not sure when or if that will change but I notice in recordings that I am concentrating on the notes and not smiling or you can't tell cause I am looking at the music. Any suggestion, trying to sing when I don't know the words can also be a problem because i can loose my place on the music.

on the music stand issue, what do you suggest if the worship leader needs it? He can't memorize and is limited on what he can play

What are some examples of songs that are not doctrinally sound?

@lightstreamscomedance222 7 ай бұрын

All sounds good but for those of us who come to be playing electric guitar in church from a classical guitar music-dependent background....very difficult to know what chord's next in a sequence! I absolutely hate being chord-sheet dependent while I'm playing. Soooo much faff and frustration dealing with sheets of paper all the time. What do I do to get chord sheet free??! I suppose I just have to keep practising playing along to songs without chord sheets? Anything else that can help me? Please help me divorce from my music stand! David (UK)

When my first day on leading worship on stages I’m soooo nervous 😬. Hahaha 😂😂 Until now nothing is changed. I dont know why. It’s been 3 yrs from now still nervous 😟. Will u please help me wat to do....😧

@bmitchellmusic 6 жыл бұрын

Darling Victors I’d say a large part of being nervous for me is not being as prepared as I need to be. Do you feel you could prepare more? Maybe that could help :)

@SeanVplayer 5 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, it is our "worship leader" that is showing how carnal he can be. He behaves like a tinpot dictator, and his only focus is promoting his granddaughter. Add to this mess the fact that he is nearly stone deaf, the music is SO loud and it's driving people out of our church. He is a huge "Poser", and it really is tearing the team down, and apart. Pray for us.

Is it the worship leader that leads people into God’s presence?

@worshiptutorials 6 жыл бұрын

I believe everybody who plays a part in creating a worship experience is part of that leading.

@kyawmyokm789 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your reply.I asked this because I have heard many people including teachers (pastors) say that the worship leader or the whole worship team do not lead people into God’s presence but it is individual’s heart and God himself that lead them into God’s presence. In another word, worship leaders are not the bridge between God and the people.

@bmitchellmusic 6 жыл бұрын

absolutely. we are not saying that we are *literally* leading people into God's presence. God absolutely does that. We are there to facilitate that moment. Worship leaders started in the tribe of Levi. They led the way in to battle and went before the people. As worship leaders, we lead the way during congregational singing/worship time!
