This month's must reads.

The place of music in worship is to enable us to pray.

Music is not to be focused on the performer – rather on the congregation – engaging with God and other believers.

LEARN MORE ABOUT WL

We believe music is a servant of prayer.

This is a very big idea and therefore difficult to implement. That’s why the resources we provide are focused on: modeling, training and encouraging music as a servant of prayer.

Music Review | “Hymn of Heaven” By Phil Wickham

June 13, 2021

From top to bottom, Hymn of Heaven is one of the most lyrically encouraging, profound and impactful worship records I’ve ever heard. Aiding Wickham’s stunning vocal, the content of this album is carefully crafted to offer churches a dozen new declarations for their people that lift their eyes to Jesus and pour hope into their hearts.

Loving our Baton-Passing, Triune God by Lester Ruth

June 8, 2021

What I am suggesting is that, when we direct our love to God, there is a deference that takes place among the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. In other words, when we seek to love One of these, that Person directs our attention to Another within the Trinity. The baton of love is passed among the Three.

Life As A Psalm by Tanya Riches

June 8, 2021

The Bible refers to Christians as living epistles, or letters. In fact, we are the letter, and the message we bear testifies to Christ. But similarly, what if we saw our own lives and their ups and downs as a psalm? As in, what if we were a song that was being sung to the glory of God?

Awakening Prayer by Josh Lavender

June 8, 2021

I’ve heard it said that the first blood of atonement were the drops of blood Jesus shed in prayer. May his Spirit wake us up to the great needs around us and give us zeal, persistence and the singular focus to contend for God’s Spirit to fill our homes, churches, cities, and world. What would it look like to write songs of travailing prayer?

Moving Beyond I Do to I Am by Kent Morris

June 8, 2021

While vital, tech harbors the dark obverse of self-importance. As such, it becomes a simple step to move from using our gift to relying on our gift. The result can be a turn inward toward self-reliance, bolstered by pride. Eventually, we can change from a person used by God to a person with god illusions.

Songwriter’s Toolbox by Justin Morris

June 8, 2021

Songwriting is heart work. From the Psalms of David to the latest corporate worship album, it’s always the raw honesty in the truth of these recorded moments that keep us coming back. If you are an artist of any kind, you know these moments of honesty are rare, beautiful, and fleeting. But making art is a lot of work.

Connected to the Moment by Darlene Zschech

June 8, 2021

As we reflect God’s heart, a new level of vulnerability is required as we lead into these days when people are broken, raw, hungry for encounter, and more transparent than ever before. And as always, the Spirit of the Living God is ready to meet them with His living water.

Tech Review | WAVs In-Ear Monitors

May 17, 2021

I would absolutely recommend WAVs to any musician looking for a crisp and balanced sound that will not break the bank, especially guitarists, vocalists, and keys players whose sound lives in the mids. With the simplest ordering process in the business, elegant build, and excellent sound quality, WAVs custom in-ears provide tremendous value at a practically unheard of price point.

The Worship Leader Network aims to renew practices of worship in Christian communities, Christians in the arts of worship, with a special focus on music and the unique role of hymns and songs in building community and nourishing faith.

The WL Network offers a space in which the worship leaders of tomorrow can connect with each other, collaborate and create in worship design, and circulate ideas, songs, and best practices through the global Christian community.

Above all else, we seek to serve and assist individuals, congregations, and communities in “finding their voices” and raising them as they sing a new song to God.
