Greetings!  

  

I was thinking about the role fear tends to play in our lives and leadership and I actually misspelled it as "frea" and "frea" sure sounds a lot less intimidating than "fear."

 

It reminded me of a guest post I wrote on Jon Nicol's site. It starts like this:

The Issue of Fear

(and the way to avoid it getting its grimy hooks into your #SundaySetlist planning)

 

Here's a typical Sunday setlist planning session... 

 

10:00       Breathe a quick prayer

10:0�       Pull up the topic for the service

10:07       Read the main scriptures

10:08       Sip my Pike Place Roast

10:10       Look through the songs I've been doing, checking for smoldering embers

10:20       Check my "songs I want to teach" list for candidates

10:23       Watch one of them in the New Song Caf� at worshiptraining.com

10:31       Do a topical/keyword search through the master song list

10:44       Begin assembling songs in groupings

10:59       Hit the wall

 

Yeah, that's about right. My Sundays come around with amazing regularity. And I'm thinking about a ton of factors when I pick songs. Did they "work" last time? Am I "feeling" them? Can the band I'll be leading "pull them off" well? Did I get any "feedback" that encourages (or discourages) using them? Do I feel God's "yes" to lead them for this particular event?

 

All good questions.

 

I've been wrestling lately with how to prepare to prepare to lead worship. (that's not a typo) I mean, how do I get my heart and mind ready before I start planning songs. Certainly, my whole life and relationship with Jesus needs to be alive and connected. I have to "live my life before the Lord" and if I am not "abiding in the vine" my life in general will be wilty and fruitless. (ew!)

 

But I ask myself the following questions when that moment in my week comes when I'm actually picking songs...
