  Keith Elgin | Ministry Doesn't Have to Break You

  Sep 29, 20261h 2m

  Keith Elgin is a worship pastor, songwriter, and the host of the Worship Online Podcast, a platform that has trained over 150,000 worship leaders worldwide. But his story does not start where you might expect. It starts with a quiet moment in his bedroom where he heard God say come home. That one moment sent him back to church, into a band, and eventually onto a stage opening for Chris Tomlin just months after he ever led worship for the first time. In this conversation we talked about what it looks like to recognize the warning signs before burnout makes the decision for you, how having one hard conversation with your pastor changed the entire trajectory of Keith's ministry, and why ministry longevity is less about hustle and more about alignment. Keith also shares his Worship Journal, a resource built around his personal practice of journaling through worship songs with God, and why he does not want to get to the end of his life and be a squanderer of what God gave him. Ministry does not have to break you. This one is for anyone who has wondered if they can keep going.

  Alex Enfiedjian | Nobody Trained Us for This

  Sep 15, 202658 min

  Alex Enfiedjian is the founder of Worship Ministry Training, one of the most listened to worship leadership podcasts in the world with over a million downloads. He is also a worship pastor, teacher, and the creator of an online school that has trained over 25,000 worship leaders globally. And he started it partly because he did not want to be a nobody. That is the ugly origin story he shared with me and it is one of the most honest things a guest has said on this show. Because the Lord uses even our foolish desires to accomplish his purposes as long as we keep laying our lives down before him. In this conversation we talked about why nobody trained us for this role, what happens when music is sticky but the people leading it are not pastoral, and the difference between leading like a producer and leading like a pastor. Alex also gets into why worship leaders look to Instagram instead of the Bible to figure out what they are supposed to be doing and what we can do about it. This one is for anyone who has ever felt thrown into ministry and figured it out as they went.

  Tai Anderson of Third Day — Market Like a Rockstar

  Sep 1, 20261h 8m

  Tai Anderson is the bassist of the iconic Grammy Award winning Christian rock band Third Day. He is also an entrepreneur, a speaker, and the author of a brand new book called Market Like a Rockstar. This conversation was one of my favorites we have done on this show. Tai's music journey began with a youth pastor who could have pushed him away from rock and roll but instead said come play in the youth group. That one invitation changed everything. We talked about the early days of Third Day, the pressure they felt to cross over into the mainstream and why they said no, and the story behind Offerings, the album the label did not want to release that ended up being their best seller. We also got into Tai's ROCKSTAR marketing framework and what it looks like for independent artists and worship leaders who are trying to build something real without a massive platform behind them. This one is for anyone who feels called to more than one thing in music. Get the Market Like a Rockstar for FREE Purchase Market Like a Rockstar Leave an Amazon review Take the Whats Your Lane?

  Aug 16, 20261h 10m

  Robbie Seay started a band called Zion in high school near Houston Texas, went to Baylor where he met David Crowder and helped plant a church, fronted the Robbie Seay Band on Sparrow Records with a Billboard charting song, and then made a decision that a lot of people would not have made. He stepped back from the spotlight to pour into other worship leaders through his work at The Worship Initiative. In this conversation Robbie and Bryan talk about: How God pairs passion with ability and why that combination is not an accident What it was like to have the thing so many worship leaders are chasing and then lay it down The Musician Minister and Multiplier framework and why most worship leaders get stuck in just one lane Why the local church was always the through line even during the recording artist years The science of singing and why what worship leaders do matters more than they realize How tools like Sing for Churches and Psallo are helping worship leaders disciple their people all week long not just on Sunday This one is for every worship leader who has ever wondered which lane they are actually called to and what it looks like to walk in all three.

  You Don't Have to Be Full Time to Be Fully Called

  Aug 4, 202613 min

  What if the season you are in right now is not the waiting room for your calling but your actual calling? I have been sitting on this one for a while because it is personal. It is about the lie that if you do not have a publishing deal, a record deal, a charting song, or a full time income from music then you are not really doing it. That you are just a hobbyist. That you are an imposter waiting to be found out. In this episode I talk about: The imposter syndrome that crept in during my own season in Nashville What happened when music became my full time income and the get to became a have to The messages I got from all over the world when I relaunched Called to Music and what they told me about this community Why Paul made tents, David kept sheep and Peter kept fishing and what that means for your calling right now Why your calling is not on hold until your income catches up The freedom that comes from understanding that calling is never really about the income model If you have ever felt like you were not quite there yet this episode is for you.
