Have you ever been in the middle of a leading a time of worship and realized that the next song in the order of the set just doesn’t feel right?

Or simply wished that you had different song option to lead the congregation in that moment? I have and I know it’s a fairly common experience for other worship leaders as well. Its not that we weren’t diligent in thinking through and preparing the worship set. Sometimes we just don’t have all of the revelation needed regarding how the worship will flow or if the songs we’ve picked will fully support what God is doing in the moment; kind of a “… we only see in part…” type of thing (I Cor.13:9-10 ).

This tip is primarily aimed at those who lead worship from the guitar.

Have you ever been in middle of worship set and had a string snap on you? Or maybe had the battery to your pick run out of juice? I actually had both happen to me! So over the years, I have found it quite helpful to keep a second guitar on the platform with me. Now if a string breaks or a pick battery dies, I unplug the problematic instrument and plug into the back up the guitar. Nice, quick and simple. (more…)
