One of the things that helps me fuel passion in worship is talking about the songs with my team during the week, as soon as the list comes out. We’ve often watched some of the you tube versions of songs, if they were good examples, and then there was email chat back & forth about the words, what we saw in the worship, how awesome God is, etc. Then as we gather to practice, I love to talk about the WHY of the set, the scripture focus of the upcoming morning, and by then we’re feeling it and wanting to pray for the lost in our lives. By the time we got to rehearsal the focus was on practicing worship–actual worship, as well as working out the logistics of songs… many times we were pretty charged by the time we went home.

Thanks for all your work here Ben.
