06.17.08Some updates and an apologyHey everyone. Thank you for all the prayers for my mother-in-law and the family. Her surgery went extraordinarily well. They ended up needing to do fewer bypasses than originally thought, and she is ahead of schedule on her recovery. The surgery kept getting pushed back, and was finally performed yesterday morning. She should be in a private room by noon today. With music camp last week, striving to be a single parent this week, and looking forward to VBS next week, I've just not been in a blogging frame of mind. So, let me tell you a few things. First, there was no ...

06.04.08WLW AnnouncementI've had a few inquiries about whether or not the worship leader interviews are going to continue. Never fear, another round of interviews is being prepped, and will will debut in the next couple of weeks. If you are a worship leader (in any capacity, whether full-time/part-time/volunteer), and would be willing to be interviewed in a future edition of Worship Leader Wednesday, please leave a comment. Thanks as always for reading.

05.07.08Worship Leader Wednesday #12, part 2Welcome to part 2 of Jamey Ketchum's interview at Consuming Worship Jamey Ketchum What’s the greatest “worship risk” you’ve ever taken? I don’t think I’ve done that yet. I’ve never really had to play the keyboard during worship before, but my next step will be just that—lead from the keyboard. I say that because, when I sit at the keyboard and other people are watching I get very nervous for some strange reason. So the risk will be getting “out of that box”! Any risks you wish you had taken but did not? No, because I believe that there’s always going to be times ...

04.30.08Worship Leader Wednesday: The Totally Off-track EditionHey everyone. I'm going to have to apologize, but due to the incredibly slammed week I had last week, I don't have part 2 of Jamey's interview in the can yet. We've chatted via email, and plan to have the second half up next week, so again, I apologize for the delay. In order to not leave you completely hanging, why don't you check out some of the previous interviews you might have missed in the past? Below are links to all the worship leader interviews conducted so far. Hopefully, I'll be back on track next week. Worship Leader Wednesday Interviews Terry Foester, ...

04.23.08Worship Leader Wednesday #12This week's interview features the only person interviewed so far that I've actually met. Jamey and I met in college, and spent our first year in college as floor mates. Jamey was a music major like myself, so we had many, many classes together. I have not had any contact with Jamey since graduation until a few months ago when Jamey took the leadership to connect as many worship leaders from our background as possible. Jamey also has the distinct honor of being the only person in the world who's ever called me "Jeffro." Jamey Ketchum Biographical Information Spouse’s name: Sherry Years married: 14 and ...

04.16.08Worship Leader Wednesday #11, part 2Welcome back to Part 2 of Karen's interview at Consuming Worship. Karen Reill What's the greatest "worship risk" you've ever taken? Well, since it's for kids, it's easier to take risks than with the adult service. We can easily introduce new songs, change things up... actually, a degree of risk is always recommended, because we want to keep the kids' attention. Any risks you wish you had taken but did not? I don't think so. Describe your process for planning a worship service. Usually, on the Friday before the Sunday I'm to lead, I pull out my book of songs. I pray over the book, then ...

04.09.08Worship Leader Wednesday #11Something a little different this week. Karen leads worship for the future generations of adult worshipers. Those of us who are local church leaders should remember that training and education in the forms and opportunities of worship starts right out of the cradle. Also, the fact that this interview features a volunteer rather than a full or part-timer should serve as a reminder that leaders and potential leaders are all around us. Karen Reill Biographical Information Name: Karen Reill Spouse's name: Martin Reill Years married: 13 Children's names: Ethan, Grant, Wesley, and Audrey (and pregnant with our 5th child) Years leading worship: Sporadically for about 10 years, ...

04.02.08Worship Leader Wednesday #10, part 2Welcome back to part two of Rich's interview at Consuming Worship. Rich Kirkpatrick You recently moved from Redding to Temecula. Tell us a little about your journey, specifically the ways you saw the Lord leading and directing. Back in February 2007 I was questioning what my next steps might be after recovering from a major surgery. I was burnt out, tired and physically not in my game wondering if I would sing the same again or have my health back. Also, I worked many hours in a setting that was very successful and growing. All this hit at once. ...

03.19.08Worship Leader Wednesday #9, part 2Welcome to part two of Joel's interview at Consuming Worship. I know this one is a bit longer than usual, but trust me, you WANT to read the whole thing. Joel Klampert How did you fare during the "worship wars?" Actually pretty good. No injuries that I can see. Our church is a modern historic church. We believe in the blending of what is new with what is ancient. Of course there are exceptions like I will not play Carman. Ha! But you will see a Getty hymn with a Crowder song and maybe all hail the power and end with a ...
