One of the worst habits in worship and rehearsal prep is copying and pasting lyrics directly from the internet.

Most online lyrics are inaccurate. They often include every ad-lib, repeated phrase, or spontaneous moment from a live recording—things that are unnecessary for singers and distracting in rehearsal. Even worse, some lyrics are simply wrong, especially when the person/bot transcribing isn’t familiar with church language or scriptural phrasing.

For rehearsals and worship, lyrics should be clean, concise, and accurate—focused only on the primary structure of the song.

If you have to use lyrics from the internet, always check them against the original recording. Nine times out of ten, you’ll need to edit them. Be grateful for the opportunity to be a vital part of people's encounter with good, weekly. What a privilege.

Congregational singing is VITAL to a healthy worshipping congregation.
Here, we have a great time during praise and worship, but notice the intentionality with congregational singing. They are on the praise team, too! Very clearly, encourage engagement and participation. World Harvest Outreach

Jesus’ name isn’t Hosanna.
And….Resurrection Sunday isn’t a day for a bunch of blood songs. Since it’s 1st Sunday, 1 is cool. Otherwise…. HE GOT UP! [insert buck]

Church consulting is truly transformative. It gives me the privilege of collaborating with diverse leaders and planting seeds that will grow and serve communities for years to come. The same kind of long-term impact is possible when investing in young people.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to guest lecture in a religion class at The University of Houston on “African American Worship.” It was an honor to share, to pour into them, and to witness their curiosity and engagement. This was an undergraduate class—very different from my doctoral and PhD students—and honestly, their "vibe" was refreshing. I pray they carry something meaningful from our time together into their future.
