Are you making a BIG mistake in your Worship Planning?

September 19, 2011, filed under Podcasting

I’ll shoot straight with you . . . I don’t like it when someone tells me that I’m making a mistake.
 
Call it foolish pride I suppose. Can you relate?

After all, no one’s perfect and I know I make mistakes (just ask my wife and she’ll tell you all about it :-).

But, usually after I get over my bruised ego and damaged pride and I realize that the person telling me about a mistake I’m making really has my best interest at heart, my grumblings are replaced with gratitude.  After all, I’ve been in ministry long enough to know that I don’t know it all and I need people to help along the way.

What if I told you that you are making a BIG mistake in your worship planning that was keeping you from:

 
• Creating more powerful experiences in your weekly worship service
 
• Relieving some unnecessary (and unhealthy) stress in your ministry and personal life
 
• Involving more volunteers in the creative process for planning your services
 
• Developing the kind of worship planning relationship that you would like to have with your pastor

Even if you didn’t like me telling you that, after the initial shock wore off would you be willing to sit down with me to talk about these issues and some strategic lessons I’ve learned in a decade of ministry to overcome them?

That’s exactly what I would like to do on the Top 3 Worship Planning Mistakes webinar coming up TOMORROW, September 21 at 2:00pm EDT.

Chances are I haven’t had the opportunity to attend your church, but after having coached nearly 200 churches, and taught and resourced thousands more in the last 5 years, I’ve found that there are 3 common mistakes in the worship planning process and that most churches are making at least one of them (if not all three).

Plus - I’ve made some of these same mistakes in the past, too (I told you I’m not perfect - ha!)

In this new 75-minute webinar, I want to help you not only identify these 3 mistakes, but I also want to give you some proven practices for how you can overcome them.

I know your time is valuable and I believe this webinar could be a HUGE help to your worship planning process.  So what do you say . . . will you join me?

Your partner in ministry,
 

PS - My new Worship Pastor Tele-Coaching network begins in less than 30 days and I’ve heard from many of you that you missed out on the Early Bird Registration bonuses that expired last week.

Honestly . . . the worship leaders who join my Coaching Networks tell me that the real bonus is what they become during the network.  I received this personal note from a worship leader who completed the network this week:

"Thanks for a great year in the network. I’ve been changed because of your commitment to invest in others. Not only are you helping people in the network, but also the people that are touched as the disciplines and practices flow down the ranks into homes and ministries. I have really been blessed to be a part of it. There are new ventures I’m heading into that I know without a doubt will be successful because of what I’ve learned. THANK YOU!"

I can’t tell you how humbled and grateful I felt to receive that note.   Testimonies like this are EXACTLY why I am launching a brand new Tele-Coaching Network in less than 30 days. I simply love the RESULTS!

(Listen to other testimonies and apply online at http://www.worshipleaderinsights.com/coaching)

The network begins on Friday, October 14 and it’s filling up quickly.  The coaching network is not right for everyone, but I would love to hold a spot for you if you have a high commitment to growth and are passionate about becoming all that God has called you to be in ministry.
 
You can join with a group of other top-notch worship leaders over the next 12 months for an accelerated course in personal and ministry growth in my new Coaching Network starting on Friday, October 14.

In the coaching network I will teach you the systems that we have developed here at The Journey Church and that are being used by thousands of churches nationwide.  These systems will help you overcome:

 
• The Personal Challenge - How to develop personal leadership growth habits that help you lead at an optimum level
 
• The Pastor Challenge - How to give the Lead Pastor exactly what he needs from the Worship Pastor
 
• The Planning Challenge - How to plan farther ahead than ever before, and create more impactful services than ever before.
 
• The People Challenge - How to maximize the number of people serving on your worship arts team, AND how to lead your team at the next level
 
• The Provision Challenge - How to make the most of the resources spent on the Sunday service for now and the future
 
• The Professionalism Challenge - How to create an atmosphere of excellence for yourself and your volunteers
 
• The Production Challenge - How to ensure that every Sunday service is successfully planned for and executed

I walk along side of you for a FULL YEAR helping you implement these systems and grow in your leadership.  It’s all Step-by-step, and very nuts and bolts.

The Coaching Network is NOT about information . . . it’s about IMPLEMENTATION.  We’re on the phone together, and you receive personalized input from me and others on how to create and lead these systems.

There is a monthly investment involved.  But it’s less than what you would invest in taking a few key team members with you to a major conference this year.

And here’s the difference…

 
• In the Coaching Network you get a FULL YEAR of hands on ministry training, not 3 days of crash course ideas with no path for implementation
 
• In the Coaching Network you receive over $1419.00 in free ministry and personal growth resources FREE.  Try walking out of the resource center at the next big conference with that and see what they say.
 
• In the network you receive an mp3 of every session, so even if you miss one, you have all of the content.

You also receive:

 
• A proven coaching process that leads to growth and health (with nearly 200 Coaching Alumni, I’ve seen these systems work in churches of all styles, sizes, types and denominations)
 
• Unlimited email access to Jason Hatley and the Worship Leader insights (WLI) team
 
• A monthly small group environment where everyone is focused on a Kingdom agenda
 
• Free attendance at all WLI training events during your network
 
• Private "call-in" times with me to have your specific questions answered in more detail.
 
• The chance to grow and take your worship ministry to the next level
 
• A private weekend meeting in sunny south Florida in November, exclusively for Tele-coaching participants complete with training and a behind the scenes look at a Journey service - a $1500 value!
 
• Plus much, much more!

The network begins in just a few weeks, so you MUST apply quickly.

In these networks which I’ve done for 5 years now, I’ve seen worship leaders

 
• more than double their worship teams over the course of the network
 
• dramatically increase their personal effectiveness,
 
• get more done in less time (i.e. go home to spend more time with family and friends)
 
• plan their worship services months even a year in advance
 
• overcome a major obstacle that was paralyzing them
 
• get on the same page with the pastor, plan worship together and get rid of the nagging tension that was under the surface of their working relationship

I can’t promise that all of these things will happen for you - it really depends on you and how seriously you take the network.

But if you are willing to do the work of personal and ministry growth this year, I want you to apply.

But I need you to apply quickly.  Learn more and apply online or download and complete the application RIGHT NOW at www.worshipleaderinsights.com/coaching.

  I hope you will allow me the opportunity to coach you this year!
