Worship Team Training® Podcast

The Awakening Worship Conference / Oct 13-15 2020 / Branon DempseyNew team members, worship over performance and leading a ministry through covid are topics covered in a conversation with Tim Price - head director of the Awakening Worship Conference beginning later this week - Oct 13-15 2020. Are you bold enough to bring on a new team member who is better than you, honest enough to lead worship without popularity, and determined enough to overcome 2020? Then listen-up to get your kicks as we press ahead in the episode of 227

Choosing a volunteer leader is a major ministry decision that can determine your team's trajectory for years to come. But when you don't have a definitive and biblical process in place (in the beginning and duration of your ministry), people will run you into the ground which will cost your ministry: spiritually, musically and emotionally. 

Don't dwell on your weakness, everybody else is doing that for you. If you want to start accomplishing your ministry goals you need to understand that your personal DNA, a.k.a your “spiritual walk,” is what you trade from in your music and ministry life.

Join our all-star cast for this special 10 year reunion show with Tim Timmons, Derek Williams, Tony Guerrero, "Swift" Johnson and Branon Dempsey! 2020 is a whole new world by the intrusion of COVID, culture and civil unrest, and the struggle for church ministries to adapt. What lessons can we learn from ten years past to move 10 years forward?

Failure can be one of the best victories because it causes you to grow. It's through the tough times that God shapes your personal outlook. When you build life and ministry by His standards, you learn to take better charge of what He gives you. And through His great work, you will be met by a spiritual purpose. @BranonDempsey

- ‪It's normal to be nervous so embrace it‬- ‪Be humble to yourself - nobody has made it‬- ‪God gave you the privilege of leading, so enjoy it‬- ‪The people aren't looking at you, they're looking to God‬- ‪You will make a mistake, get over yourself‬- ‪Be as humanly prepared, but humanly imperfect‬- ‪Set your focus on Christ - it's His service anyway!‬Phil 2.11: and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

If you're only 99% happy, it's because the other 1% has broke you. Many leaders in the church always hope for things to be better without doing the hard work of change. When it comes to that 1% that stands in their way: people, opinions, weak boundaries and lack of purpose, they stop because the work gets too hard. Learn to stop stopping yourself by changing your mindset to Christ-mindedness, so you may live life and ministry in the full 100%. @BranonDempsey

Stop wasting your time on people who try to tell you how to live your life. Join us this week for the next new episode 222❗️

The Lord knows your labor, he knows your work for Him. Though others may not approve, it is acceptable to Jesus. I’ll say it again: don’t give up. Don’t look at the negative, don’t hang around negative people that will keep you from missing the good. Just remember, I’m times of trials, God is with you; in times of confusion, He speaks clearly. You are never without His guidance, so let Him lead you to greater things."The Lord knows the life of the good and their inheritance will last forever." PSALMS 37:18"El Señor conoce la vida de los buenos y su herencia durará para siempre".The Lord knows your ministry and knows your work. You are never alone. He will never disappoint, you are never without him. @BranonDempsey Please Like & Share: ❤️
