In 1999 I remember attending as a younger worship leader one of their training events and over the past several years I have enjoyed getting to know some of the people at this company. Wholeheartedly I can say these people love the local church and this event is designed to equip worship leaders at churches of any size. Even their cost is reasonable.
Some of the worship leaders there include: Leeland, Brenton Brown, Matt Maher, Christy Nockels, Phil Wickham and Audrey Assad. Continue reading →
The cre:ate2110 conference in Franklin, Tennessee has been more than a conference for my the past nine years. As a “creative” in ministry I feel like I belong to a tribe of amazingly smart, gifted and godly men and women who gather each year to have an extraordinary salon about worship, film, media, art and culture. There seems to be no other ministry related event in the nation like this.
I owe this very blog to attending cre:ate conference. I am now in the top 50 of Christianity blogs, and the collective blogroll the tribe of attendees is amazingly strong with people like Carlos and Randy. (Go to my blogroll to see some of them). This is just one tangible evidence of how impacting this conference has been on me and others.
Each year I look forward to learning from authors, pastors, filmmakers and the collective group which alone is worth the trip. Indeed, the relationships that have lasted these years and influenced me have made this trip one I cannot miss.
On top of that, the experiences with music, art and food are astounding. I can’t wait!
We want to let you, Tehilla Music Blog readers in on something good. My friends over at All About Worship have a roundtable Tuesday night:
All About Worship Podcast: “Manly Worship” Round Table LIVE Tuesday
This Tuesday, September 29 at 9pm CST, the All About Worship podcast will be hosting it’s first “Round Table” discussion with three worship leaders/songwriters with hosts Ben Abu Saada and Wisdom Moon. The topic at hand is “Manly Worship”. What is “Manly Worship”? Is there a need for worship songwriters to focus more attention on music that ministers more to men? Is there a trend in worship music within churches that connects more with the heart of women vs men? Or is this issue moot and the hearts of men need to be challenged in this area? You can be a part of the discussion live with our special guests:
Mandy Thompson. Songwriter/Worship Leader, Mandy Thompson, will be joining us. Visit www.MandyThompson.com to learn more about her ministry. Mandy will be joining us live from her home in New England. By the way…Mandy created those KILLER podcast intros for us!

I love our worship team at Sunridge Church! This rare behind the scenes footage shows how much fun we really have each week! These are servants who put in hours and dedicate much so that hundreds can worship. The funniest thing is the last words on the on the tape…don’t miss that.
