Send us a textBranon shares the story of his recent tragedy and journey of healing. Recovery is hard. It's slow and often frustrating. But it's in this process that God works on us. He takes what's broken and begins to heal it.For worship leaders, this process is powerful. When we recover from hardship, we learn to trust God more deeply. We see His hand even in the unpleasant moments. So how can we embrace a walk of freedom in the way we live and especially in the way we worship and lead worship?NEW WTT Site Coming!Follow from our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/worshipteamtrainingSupport the show➡️ Join the conversation or DM over Twitter or Instagram: @branondempsey ➡️ Text Me! 832-974-0277 ➡️ Linktree https://linktr.ee/worshipteamtraining

Was it just something said, was it something someone did, or was it something more spiritually? In church, we can shrug off talk or overlook behaviors, but what happens when it becomes abusive? How do you know when things have gone too far?

Worship Ministry Catalyst Podcast / Special Guest Branon Dempsey➡️  This interview was taken from Worship Ministry Catalyst, hosts David Linder and Joe Brookhouse. We talked about lessons from Covid and the essentials of worship. Even since 2021, we have seen many progressions in how we approach and lead worship here in 2023. Amid searching for worship-leading tools, chasing set lists, and creating memorable services, what do we have left in the end?✅  Join @branondempsey for this special interview recorded by Worship Ministry Catalyst.Video link: https://youtu.be/ds5wYo_F6kM Support the show➡️ Join the conversation or DM over Twitter or Instagram: @branondempsey ➡️ Text Me! 832-974-0277 ➡️ Linktree https://linktr.ee/worshipteamtraining

How are we leading people in worship who suffer from abuse, namely, spiritual?Churches should be places of sanctuary and refuge, but for many, they can become sites of spiritual abuse. Spiritual abuse is a severe problem primarily hidden, with those in authority using their position to manipulate, control, and even harm those within the congregation. As worship leaders, what can we do to get out from behind the music and get in front of helping people who have been spiritually abused?

Worship Under the Guide of Production or the Holy Spirit? Have we made an idol of production? We say "no," but for years, production appears to have more value and that is sought after by many churches for their worship services. What's seems to be missing is an emphasis on the Holy Spirit. AI is great, but are we allowing too much for our production method to have complete authority over the Holy Spirit? This simply must be addressed by the church at large.Featured Article Link: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid03yqL7htmJsEWcqBFRJP3TxxDYkvGMP2scNVfyXCziK5bf9gGqFERYnWxDJhCgMYMl&id=582153271 Join @braondempsey @chariyadacarabissonette @tonyguerreroquintet @swiftandre @rkweblog WATCH on Youtube: https://youtu.be/onBN_oLrrHE Support the show➡️ Join the conversation or DM over Twitter or Instagram: @branondempsey ➡️ Text Me! 832-974-0277 ➡️ Linktree https://linktr.ee/worshipteamtraining

How do you cancel a culture without canceling the people? Abuse of power and corruption ruins our churches, but its effects on people cut deep.

Culture is not chasing the church; the church is chasing the culture. Where have we failed? This may explain why many churches hire and stage a model celebrity pastor, a worship leader star, and a Grammy-sounding team to draw attendance numbers. But is this truly the identity of the Church Jesus established? Why can't we be ourselves? Is it also because we are afraid of what the culture may see?Join @chariyadacarabissonette @tonyguerreroquintet @branondempseyThe Church Celebrity Crisis | Podcast Season 8 Download: ⏬Download by Audio   Support the show➡️ Join the conversation or DM over Twitter or Instagram: @branondempsey ➡️ Text Me! 832-974-0277 ➡️ Linktree https://linktr.ee/worshipteamtraining

Here's the other side of the story - from our Facebook page: So stage presence or God's presence, what say you?Worship is all about God. Leading worship is never about us. There is not a 101 handbook about leading worship, except what we learn through the Bible as our blueprint. God designed us to be the workmanship of Christ (Eph 2.10). The Holy Spirit is the one who teaches and leads through us (John 14:17). God is enthroned as the Holy One that we praise (Psalm 22.3). Our purpose is to join Him in song with one another (Zeph 3.17, Col 3.16). @BranonDempsey
