We are one of the only sources of influence who still use words as a viable source of communication. 

We live in a orange world.  Covered then split into segments that have been organized.  We were taught to turn the Bible into an orange, breaking it up into verses and chapters, losing the stories and songs.  We need to live in an apple world…..eating things whole.

It’s not your job to bring the Scriptures to life, your job is to help people come alive to the Scriptures. 

The most powerful forces in the universe are physical, material things.  Your biggest challenge is to break down the materialistic control over peoples lives and help them understand Spirit is more powerful.

As a worship leader we offer explanations of who God is, which means you have to be a great Theologian .

Praise must be manifested or declared, it is an outward manifestation.  Praise is a physical demonstration of a spiritual reality.

Praise is not a result of our feelings, praise trumps feelings.

Hypocrisy is not when your actions are inconsistent with your feelings, hypocrisy is when your actions are inconsistent with your convictions 

A good worship experience is always marked by people deciding to worship God.

Don’t be a wagon wheel leader, the center piece that holds all the spokes together.  Alow the team to take care of themselves

David’s beef wasn’t the fact the Goliath was challenging Israel, it was that the Name and Fame of Jesus Christ was being challenged
