In my travels visiting churches and speaking at conferences about copyright issues, one of the most common and confusing questions I encounter is, “Can we post files on our website and allow downloads?” Often the question is really more of a hope for affirmation that it’s OK to do what they’re already doing.

What Makes a Great Worship Song?
June 10, 2009 By 1 Comment
What is a “Worship Song” Anyway?
In order to define what makes a great “worship song” we have to figure out what a “worship song” actually is. Is it a song by a “worship artist?” Is it a song that you sing during “worship?” What kind of “worship?” What is it?
Together-ness: The Worship Band is my Small Group
June 8, 2009 By 10 Comments
For all of my adult life I’ve been a paid staffer in music ministry in small to medium sized growing churches. I love it.
One thing I continue to learn (you’d think I get it, right?) is that it’s impossible to have deep, meaningful friendships with every single person in the church. It just can’t happen.

My dad’s father passed away when I was still a baby. Consequently I have only ever known one grandpa. My mom’s father, my grandfather, was a farmer. For most of my growing up years he lived four states away, so visits were usually once a year. Looking back on those visits, it seems to me that each member of my family (Mom and Dad and five kids) greeted Grandpa differently.
