got worship? Awards the “Best of The Best…”

Article by Jason Whitehorn January 21, 2012 in Another thought, Worship with 0 Comments

Each year, we review things that we feel are relevant to worship leaders, pastors, churches, and worship teams – and bring you a list of those we feel are the “Best of the Best”. Over the next two months, we will bring you the winners that we have selected over the year 2011.

Our first winner is in the category of “Best All-Round Website”. The winner this year is a site that has evolved from one website – to many – back to one quintessential website for those who…well…for just about everyone! www.churchm.ag covers every area of church relevance from IT to creative and everything in between. The geek-at-heart will be pleased with the humor and off-the-wall news items that the writers at the site come up with – and there is no shortage of resources found there that will leave you saying “why didn’t I think of that/find that/create that!”

If you’ve never visited the site before – I highly encourage it. You’ll find ways to make your church’s website and social media tons more relevant and find ways to boost the efforts of your creative team. It won’t take long to learn why they are the clear choice for the 2011 “Best All-Round Website” Award from got worship?.

Please, God…Give Me One More Day!

Article by Jason Whitehorn January 6, 2012 in Another thought, Worship Confessional with 0 Comments

“If I only had one more day!” I am constantly wishing for more time – more hours in a day – more days in a week. As the holiday as passed and I prepare for an event in Orlando, Florida this weekend – I realize that I don’t have enough time to prepare…let alone to write this article. So, I am frustrated. How about you? What would you do with one more day? One more hour?

I’ve got an idea…

Is The Holy Spirit Your Scapegoat?

Article by Jason Whitehorn January 5, 2012 in Worship, Worship Confessional with 0 Comments

It happens…the hectic week of life shows up at your door all at once and you barely have time to prepare a worship service – and that perfect song that you had envisioned singing doesn’t get planned out. You show up at rehearsal – and your team looks to you for guidance on how the song should be done…”how do we transition to it?” ”who starts it?” ”how do we end it?” ”do we do verse, chorus, verse, chorus bridge?…or do we do verse, verse, chorus, bridge, repeat first verse?” So many questions…and you have zero answers. BUT WAIT!!!! There is a simple answer that makes it sound as if God is in charge of the mess you created…and He will sort is out as if it was ordained to be so disorganized. That simple answer is…

A little birdy sent me a Christmas card… literally.

I wasn’t in my office during the week of Christmas…so I was pretty happy when I got back and found out that a little birdie had sent me a Christmas card – especially when it was an iconic blue twitter birdie! Thanks, twitter! This has got to be one of the simplest – yet coolest shirts I’ve seen in a while.

For our readers…I’m planning on making 2012 a year of giveaways…so you never know when this might turn up again!

An AWESOME free tool for task management

Article by Jason Whitehorn December 28, 2011 in WorshipTECH with 0 Comments

If you need a great free tool to manage the simple tasks in your life with minimal resources…then I have just the website for you: enter minimaltasks.com . This website is developed by my good friend Andrew Lee. (Yes, I know a lot of us tend to throw around the phrase “my good friend” like its going out of style…but Andrew just so happens to live next door as well as plays bass for me in various worship teams.) It is simple in what it does…minimal even – you type your tasks in the input field and they stay locally saved on the computer or device you entered them on. There is no “save” button. You can close the window, shut down the computer, and come back hours later…and your task is still there.

Want a shopping list on the go? Call up the website on your smartphone and you have a portable shopping list. It’s great for to-do lists as well!

Since the items are held locally on your own computer – they are there as long as your cache stays around. If you clear the cache – then the tasks go away. To remove an item in the list – simply backspace over it…or type a new one in its place.

Give the site a try today and see if you don’t find yourself becoming a huge fan of “minimal tasks”.

We’re Taking a Small Break…How About You?

Article by Jason Whitehorn December 27, 2011 in Another thought with 0 Comments

Thankfully, I have a rare week of no travelling, tour, speaking, etc…and I am going to spend it with the family. While some moments will be bitter-sweet (I had a family member pass away shortly after midnight Christmas Day and, thus, a funeral) – I will be spending most of my time during the week with the family just hanging out and reflecting on how lucky I am to be doing life with them!

I hope you will forgive me for not being as frequent this week with articles – but we will pick back up after the first of the year with our regular daily article!
