17 Blogs Every Worship Leader Should be Reading

blog-w

I find blogs to be tremendous sources of learning and encouragement. They are a fantastic channel to communicate, share and converse just about anything. When it comes to worship, I find myself referring to these blogs more often and I believe if you’re looking to continue growing as a worshiper or worship minister, they will be useful for you too. The list is purely my personal opinion and is in no particular order:

 

Dan Wilt

“Dan Wilt is a storyteller by profession, a communicator by vocation, and encourager by intuition. He contributes to the wider global conversation on postmodern culture. He is creator of innovative resources designed to support human beings on a spiritual quest, and as well the Christian worshiping community of which he is a part.”

 

Alastair Vance

“This blog is used for mainly airing my thoughts around what worship is and how we can lead worshipful lives.  Not just on a Sunday morning, but every hour of everyday. The words in these blog posts are my thoughts…  I accept I can get things completely wrong at times. I’m on a learning process, and your feedback will help me grow.”

 

Rob Rash

“The whole goal of my blog is to provide and start conversations about worship (and all that it entails), provide challenging thoughts and motivations to move us beyond a Sunday morning commentary (so we can actually DO something and make a difference), and engage in the writing and formation of songs (I’ll leave out the word ‘worship’ due to other reasons).”

 

Worship Matters

“While this blog is designed for those who lead corporate praise (pastors, musicians, small group leaders), anyone who wants to use music and words to magnify God’s glory in Christ should find something relevant here.”

 

Carl Albrecht

An absolute must-read for worship drummers by someone who has worked with worship artists like 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 etc.


David Santistevan

“This blog exists to help worship leaders, songwriters, creatives, and church leaders do what they do better. Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile the big concert stages with the every day practicality of ministry in the local church. I want to help connect the dots. My writings are brief, practical, and applicable to being a creative leader in the local church today.”

 

MikeyMo’s Place

Great blog to read reviews and stuff about life in church, ministry, concerts, conferences, evangelism, leadership, music, resources, set-lists etc.

 

Kim Gentes

“This site is the result of years of work from various aspects of my life: personal/devotional reflections, work/business related efforts, church/ministry involvement and educational archives/spin-offs of my work in the graduate studies program at SSU (M.Min). Much of the core content on this site centers around the primary subjects of worship, music, ministry and technology.”

 

Journey of Worship

Chris Gambill blogs about “worship, worship leading, creativity, life in Christ, and ministry. There will be ideas, thoughts, quotes, videos, and random stuff (mostly on the weekends).”

 

Worship Ministry Catalyst

Their blog is only one part of this useful resource with relevant posts on lots of topics related to worship ministry.

 

Vicky Beeching

Awarded “Best Christian Blog” in the UK’s Christian New Media Awards – 2011, Vicky’s blog covers gear reviews, mission, songwriting, technology, theology and of course worship leading.

 

RKweblog

“As a blogger, Rich’s bent is to “influence fellow creatives and leaders and to help them think strategically with conversations that clarify values, theology and method.””

 

Chris Vacher

“I blog mostly about church and leadership but also love to share tools or resources that are making my job easier.”

 

Michael H Smith

Michael’s blog covers a wide range of topics like books, communication, leadership, music, poetry, prayer, worship preparation, social networking, spirituality, worship choirs, worship planning etc.

 

Nathan Sutliff

I started this blog in hopes to share creativity and receive creativity from those who stumble upon it. Feel free to challenge me, encourage me, collaborate with me, or point me towards something we can all benefit from.

 

Church Sound Guy

“Articles, video clips and announcements relevant to church audio or video technicians and technical directors.”

 

Behind the Mixer

Another useful blog with articles covering “everything from the 101-level basics to the non-technical side of church audio such as working with difficult people and dealing with criticism. You can find help in all areas of live audio production here, not only in the articles, but also in the comments.”
