WGC Part 5: How We Can Help Your Church
There are five areas we consider specialties – areas in which we have long standing expert and professional experience – but our ability to offer aid and assistance reaches far beyond the scope of those specific categories. I’ll go into further detail on each area later in the week but...
How Wild Should We Be In Worship?
I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday who plays guitar for another friend who travels and leads worship all over the US. Among other things, we discussed how difficult it is to go from from one crowd worshippers you practically have to calm down between songs...
Will Goodwin Consulting is Official! (WGC Part 1)
I’ve even got a cool logo :)
But in all seriousness, I’ve had so many meetings the past couple months and have been racking my brain trying to put all the pieces together not only to whether or not there is a need out there but what I can actually give...
The Saddest Thing I’ve Ever Seen
Yesterday, a friend of mine gave me tour of a church where he’s an interim worship pastor for a couple months. On the surface, I would have thought he’d be out of his mind not to take the job full-time. 700,000 square foot facilities with state of the art everything....
Whatever Happened to Apologetics?

Lukewarm Worship Leader
Carlos Whittaker (guy who does something at Buckhead church) has got a great discussion going on over at his blog right now about what defines a worship leader who is not really living up to his title. He borrowed the theme from the pastor of Lifechurch.tv, but I prefer his...

I received an email from a fellow creative arts pastor, Andy Goswick, asking some leadership questions and I thought i’d post my replies here for all to read. Hope my answers are good.
1. What is worship to you? it is a response to something with wholehearted affection, loyalty, and energy....
Performance vs. Worship: PART I
A comment on a previous post the other day prompted me try and tackle this subject (as if I have all the answers). I’ve wrestled with this question on a number of occasions to almost always find myself right back where I started.
It is both.
Why do i feel that way...
40 Day Blog Fast Finally Over
I didn’t announce it and didn’t really talk about it, but the few readers i have may have noticed I haven’t written anything in a very long time. Why? I decided after several stressful weeks in a row that i needed to get a bit more organized and needed to...
