Podcast Notes: Asking Better Questions in Worship Ministry - Kelsey McGinnis Keynote Episode Overview In this episode, we present Kelsey McGinnis' keynote from Churchfront Conference 2024. As a musicologist and researcher specializing in congregational music culture, Kelsey explores how transforming problematic worship ministry questions into deeper ones reveals important insights about community, belonging, and authentic worship. Time Stamps & Key Points Introduction [00:00] Kelsey's opening insight: "Whether someone sings in corporate worship probably has very little to do with how they feel about the songs themselves. It has everything to do with how they feel about their voices." Introduction of Kelsey McGinnis, musicologist and researcher of congregational music Her approach to using questions as the foundation for research and writing Bad Questions vs. Better Questions [00:43] The problem with starting with bad questions How even problematic questions can lead to important insights The process of refining questions to get to deeper truths Why questions about music often reveal deeper issues about community Case Study 1: Male Singing Participation [01:49] The problematic initial question: "Why aren't men singing in church?" Why this is a bad question (confrontational, assumes something not necessarily true) How online discourse frames this issue ineffectively Conversation with Dr. Randall Bradley from Baylor University (director of Baylor Men's Choir) Key insight: "Whether someone sings in corporate worship probably has very little to do with how they feel about the songs themselves. It has everything to do with how they feel about their voices." Stories from men about their relationship with their voices: Being made fun of during adolescent voice changes Feeling their low voices intrude during quiet worship moments Not feeling their vocal contribution is valued The importance of mentorship for young male singers Better question: How do we create worship where all voices feel welcomed and valued? Case Study 2: Changing Role of Church Musicians [09:07] The strange initial question: "Is it more boring to be a church drummer now than it was 20 years ago?" Why this question arose (multiple drummers independently expressing the same sentiment) How worship music style has evolved over 30 years: Movement from rock-based to EDM-influenced styles Increased use of click tracks, pads, and loops More accessible technology changing worship landscapes Better questions: "What has changed for drummers in the past 20 years? Has anything meaningful been lost?" Contrasting drummer experiences: One drummer who feels more creative with new technology Another who feels increasingly obsolete The deeper question: "How do we let worship evolve without pushing people aside?" The challenge of obsolescence in church ministry Observations from the Sing Conference in Nashville: Older worship leaders finding community where they don't feel obsolete The need for intergenerational inclusion in worship Case Study 3: Technology in Worship [16:30] The limiting initial question: "Should churches use live autotune?" Problems with "should" questions (invite simple yes/no answers) Various perspectives on autotune: As "spellcheck" or "bowling bumpers" for vocalists As pitch coordination similar to click tracks Concerns about becoming "karaoke franchises" Better questions: "What are we really worried about with technology? When do we cross a threshold?" Parallels to concerns about AI-generated art The deeper question: "How do we balance humanity and imperfection with our desire for excellence?" Thought-provoking quote: "Contemporary worship is in its Vogue magazine era—the Photoshopped version of itself" The church's opportunity to model acceptance of imperfection and humanity Case Study 4: Lament in Worship [23:06] Common question: "How do we make space for lament in our worship?" Widespread sense that popular worship doesn't adequately address lament Conversation with Matt Maher about emotional whiplash in services Better questions: "What do we actually need to lament? What hurt are we responding to?" The need for worship to respond to hurt both inside and outside church walls Letting worship be shaped by love of neighbors rather than love of excellence Conclusion [25:57] The human desire for easy answers and clear categories Why superstitious views of music (healing frequencies, etc.) miss the point The challenge of moving beyond online "takes" to deeper community questions The value of telling stories that lead to wiser questions Key Quotes "Whether someone sings in corporate worship probably has very little to do with how they feel about the songs themselves. It has everything to do with how they feel about their voices." "If you feel like your voice is a gift, that it has a place, you're more likely to offer it as a sacrifice of praise." "I want to be part of a community where people aren't primarily valued for their ability to serve a particular aesthetic." "Contemporary worship is in its Vogue magazine era—the Photoshopped version of itself." "One radical thing that the church can do is be a place where we can model acceptance of the awkwardness and imperfection that comes about when you allow people to create something together." Resources Mentioned Dr. Randall Bradley from Baylor University The Sing Conference in Nashville (hosted by Keith and Kristin Getty) Religion News Service article on autotune in worship Matt Maher (songwriter and worship leader) Action Steps Examine the questions you're asking about your worship ministry Consider how your technology choices affect people's sense of belonging Create space for all voices to feel valued in your worship context Evaluate whether your pursuit of excellence might be excluding certain voices Look for ways to let your worship respond to the hurt in your community Connect & Continue For more insights on worship ministry questions, connect with Kelsey McGinnis or visit churchfront.com/conference Apply to Join Churchfront Premium Apply to Join Churchfront Pro Free Worship and Production Toolkit Shop Our Online Courses Join us at the Churchfront Conference Follow Churchfront on Instagram or TikTok: @churchfront Follow on Twitter: @realchurchfront Gear we use to make videos at Churchfront Musicbed SyncID: MB01VWQ69XRQNSN

Today's episode features a discussion about the concept of an "ascension ladder" in business, which involves offering a range of services or products at different price points to cultivate long-term customer relationships and increase revenue over time. Eric illustrates this idea with a personal anecdote about a long-term pond maintenance client who gradually increased their spending. Contrasting this positive example is a frustrating experience at a bike shop, where the staff's aggressive upselling attempts and poor customer service highlight a flawed approach to the ascension ladder and sales in general. Triplett emphasizes that a well-defined plan for escalating customer engagement must be coupled with effective communication, respect, and emotional intelligence to succeed. Key Takeaways: Develop an "ascension ladder" in your endeavors to offer a range of options and nurture growth over time. Prioritize strong communication, active listening, and emotional intelligence in all interactions. Avoid making assumptions about others and their needs or financial situations. Always ask for permission and be considerate of the other person's perspective and thought process. Recognize the potential for significant missed opportunities when sales and interactions are poorly handled.   Links to resources:    Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com   Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips   Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett   The Pond Digger: https://theponddigger.com/   LA Pet Fair: https://www.lapetfair.com/    Atlantic-Oase: https://www.atlantic-oase.com/   You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at:   http://helixpondfiltration.com/    TWT Contractor Circle   TWT Contractor Power Circle   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram  Facebook  TikTok

Kay Foye is an incredible Knifemaker whose direction focuses on the the voice and memories of the objects she uses to create her work. A lot of that direction comes from her experiences ranging from working in the New York fashion industry to being a ranch hand in Colorado. The evolution of her work like many artists is influenced by her surroundings as well as the people she talks to. Her process has led her to finding patrons who give her heirlooms and keepsakes for her to use in knife handles that appear to be a sculptural collage. Contrasting with the impermanence of carbon steel, or even a farriers rasp, these intricately built handles on give the feeling of preserved memories with the expectation of making new memories as the patina develops. Great time and we'll definitely have Kay back. Many thanks!

One has had a stellar week, but the other has had a more difficult time. Beeks Financial Cloud is a new one for this show and we've had a request from a viewer to talk about it. But could low latency mean a big opportunity? The company has a strong position in an interesting niche. And it's signing up customers from all the big exchanges, meaning there could be a lot more growth to come. JD Wetherspoon is the reason Steve W's portfolio has underperformed this week. And the company's latest report was something of a mixed bag. Like-for-like sales came in higher than the industry average over the last few months. But the market is interested in costs right now – and they're up for the FTSE 250 pub chain.Bloomsbury has come a long way in the time we've been looking at it. And it's reached the stage where the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio has come back down to around 13. Steve D's been looking at the author roster and Steve W's been paying attention to the academic side. Is there anything there to convince them to get buying again?Steve W promised a REIT, so here's Tritax Big Box. The stock comes with a 5.4% dividend yield company owns and leases warehouses and industrial distribution centres.REITs can often find growth difficult, but net rental income is up 24% compared to the previous year. So why is Steve not so convinced by this one?The stock market liked the latest results from Judges Scientific and so did Steve D. Steve W didn't, though, a revenue drop is enough to leave him disappointed. There's a lot of scope for growth from this one and investors should think about whether they can look past a cyclical downturn.

In this powerful and far-reaching sermon, Pastor Reece unpacks Ecclesiastes 7:19–29 and 1 Corinthians 1–3 to reveal the surpassing value of true wisdom. Contrasting worldly reputation, human philosophy, and outward power with the revealed wisdom of God in Christ, this message calls believers to forsake the fleeting glory of man and embrace the mind of Christ.

With the unfortunate passing of David Lynch, the Four Play hosts decided to dedicate this arc to the director and his unique vision in cinema. The 1986 film Blue Velvet still stands as an all-time classic with memorable performances by Dennis Hopper and Isabella Rossellini and a signature touch of Lynch's surrealism. The film mixes Lynch's love of Americana with a shocking exploration of sexual violence and the dark activities of the criminal underworld.

Angela Jaeger in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Feel-Famous-Punk-Diaries-1977-1981/dp/1955125570 I Feel Famous: Punk Diaries 1977-1981 is a girl's coming of age story set to the pulse of punk rock. The book tracks 17-year-old Angela Jaeger's exciting discovery of punk music and its accompanying lifestyle in 1977. A music enthusiast living in New York's East Village, Angela's story unfolds chronologically, charting her late adolescence in tandem with her transition from observer of the nascent punk scene to eager participant. Gradually becoming a nightly fixture of her neighborhood's vibrant underground rock milieu at CBGB and Max's Kansas City, by 1978 she had continued to fulfill her punk fantasy abroad. She followed the Clash on a tour across England, finally returning home in 1979 to start her own band. Angela encountered an impressive cast of characters on her adventures, including Lydia Lunch, Joe Strummer, Billy Idol, Klaus Nomi, and Sid Vicious. Laced with humor and wide-eyed curiosity, Angela's daily first-hand accounts take the reader on a personal journey not found in other punk histories. Additional commentary by the author provides context and further anecdotal material. The text is illustrated with the visual expressions of Angela's enthusiasm—her drawings of punk personalities and fans, previously unseen photos and ephemera culled from her personal archive—affording a unique insight into the relationship between the music, the media, and the audience. The diaries touch on a variety of themes including identity politics, downtown NY, anglophilia, fandom, fame, and fashion. Contrasting the stark black and white of 1970s New York with the exuberant beat-up color of a decaying London and its disenchanted youth, a lost era is brought back to life through a dedicated fan's own reportage. Creative, funny and endlessly cool, the result is an unprecedented perspective into an ever-popular moment in contemporary cultural history.

Study Guide Sanhedrin 57 This week's learning is sponsored by Efrat Avraham for the refuah shleima of a very brave soldier, Itamar Avraham ben Merav. A braita from the school of Menashe taught a different version of the seven Noahide laws, replacing the establishment of courts and cursing God with the prohibitions of castration and forbidden mixtures (kilayim). From what verses in the Torah  are these seven laws derived? A debate follows between Rav Yosef and Rav Sheshet, who share a tradition from Rav that not all Noahide laws carry the death penalty. They disagree on the number - either three or four are capital offenses. Contrasting this, Rav Yehuda and Rav Huna cite Rav as saying all Noahide laws are punishable by death. The Gemara raises a challenge from a braita about theft, but resolves it. This braita discusses legal distinctions between cases of gentiles stealing from other gentiles or Jews, and Jews stealing from gentiles. The braita mentions theft, the beautiful captive woman (eshet yefat toar), and "similar cases" - prompting questions about what cases are considered similar to theft and similar to the beautiful captive woman. The legal requirements for convicting a gentile are less stringent than those for convicting a Jewish person. A single judge can render the verdict, testimony from one witness is sufficient, even if the witness is related to the accused, and no formal warning is required beforehand. However, testimony from women is not accepted. Rabbi Yishmael holds that a gentile who strikes a pregnant woman causing fetal death is subject to capital punishment. What are the scriptural sources of these legal principles? There are two different verses used to establish that forbidden sexual relations are included in the Noahide laws, and the Gemara explains why two separate sources are necessary, as there are some cases where a Noahide will be judged according to Jewish law.    

Study Guide Sanhedrin 57 This week's learning is sponsored by Efrat Avraham for the refuah shleima of a very brave soldier, Itamar Avraham ben Merav. A braita from the school of Menashe taught a different version of the seven Noahide laws, replacing the establishment of courts and cursing God with the prohibitions of castration and forbidden mixtures (kilayim). From what verses in the Torah  are these seven laws derived? A debate follows between Rav Yosef and Rav Sheshet, who share a tradition from Rav that not all Noahide laws carry the death penalty. They disagree on the number - either three or four are capital offenses. Contrasting this, Rav Yehuda and Rav Huna cite Rav as saying all Noahide laws are punishable by death. The Gemara raises a challenge from a braita about theft, but resolves it. This braita discusses legal distinctions between cases of gentiles stealing from other gentiles or Jews, and Jews stealing from gentiles. The braita mentions theft, the beautiful captive woman (eshet yefat toar), and "similar cases" - prompting questions about what cases are considered similar to theft and similar to the beautiful captive woman. The legal requirements for convicting a gentile are less stringent than those for convicting a Jewish person.

So what's it like co-authoring a book with Reid Hoffman, the multi-billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and amongst Silicon Valley's most prominent Democrats? According to Greg Beato, who just co-wrote Superagency with Hoffman, it certainly beats co-authoring anything with an AI algorithm. Not that Beato has anything against artificial intelligence. The doomers and the gloomers have it all wrong, he reassures. There will be nothing Orwellian about today's AI revolution, Beato says. Rather than 1984, he promises, our automatic future will be enriched by AI platforms like Pol.is and Remesh. I hope he's right.Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with Beato:* The concept of "super agency" differs from typical AI agents - Beato clarifies that rather than referring to autonomous AI agents, super agency describes what happens when millions of people gain access to new tools that enhance their human capabilities. The benefits compound as more people use these tools, similar to how the widespread adoption of automobiles and smartphones created societal-wide advantages.* Individual agency vs. collective benefit - While Beato's Superagency emphasizes individual empowerment through AI, he stresses that individual agency is meant to be a starting point, not an endpoint. He draws parallels to America's founding principles, where individual liberty was important but existed within the larger context of building a collective democracy and Republic.* Contrasting view on AI surveillance concerns - Beato and Hoffman's book challenges the persistent Orwellian fears about technology leading to dystopian surveillance and control. Beato argues that contrary to these long-standing predictions, technological advancement has historically led to increased individual power rather than centralized control.* The role of AI in writing and creativity - Beato shares his experience using AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT primarily as editorial aids rather than replacement writers. He suggests that writing is currently the creative field best suited for AI collaboration because it allows for iterative improvements, unlike other creative mediums.* Tension between optimism and realism - Beato acknowledges that there's a tension between Reid Hoffman's more optimistic entrepreneurial outlook and his more measured and practical journalistic perspective. This is particularly evident in Beato's discussion of major tech companies' trustworthiness and the challenges of ensuring AI benefits society broadly rather than just privileged individuals like Reid Hoffman and the other billionaires of Silicon Valley.Greg Beato has been writing about technology and culture since the early days of the World Wide Web. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Wired, The Washington Post, The International Herald Tribune, Reason, Spin, Slate, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, and more than 100 other publications worldwide.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you achieve, you're still running on empty? You push through exhaustion, ignore your emotions, and convince yourself that success means sacrificing your well-being. But what if the very thing holding you back in business isn't strategy—it's your inability to process emotions? For high achievers, burnout isn't a distant threat—it's a ticking time bomb. The drive to succeed can lead to overworking, numbing emotions with food or distractions, and suppressing stress instead of addressing it. You may pride yourself on being in control, but underneath, unresolved emotions are draining your energy, affecting your health, relationships, and ultimately, your business. The key to sustainable success isn't more discipline or another productivity hack—it's emotional mastery. Leslie shares how leaders who neglect their emotions unknowingly build their businesses on unstable foundations, leading to cycles of burnout and frustration. True transformation happens when you stop suppressing emotions and start engaging with them, recognizing that growth comes from feeling, not just thinking. By embracing emotional mastery, you create a business and life that are both fulfilling and sustainable. Leslie's approach helps leaders reframe their struggles with food, weight, and stress, not as failures, but as signs pointing to deeper emotional work. When you align your inner world with your goals, success becomes effortless, authentic, and lasting. If you're ready to break free from the burnout cycle and build a business that thrives without sacrificing your well-being, now is the time to take action. Leslie's proven methods can help you shift from constant striving to genuine success—one that honors your health, relationships, and personal fulfillment. "What I saw for myself was that if I did not find a different way, if I did not figure out what was missing for these leaders that had them be incomplete in these very important areas of our lives, health, and relationship, then I was going to end up, sure, successful, but really unsuccessful when it came to my food, body and weight journey.  And so I had to invest in the discovery and the education of how to master my food body and weight stuff and how to master my relationship stuff. And what I found was that the missing piece was emotional mastery." - Leslie Thornton What you will learn from this episode: 01:24 - The frustration of knowing what to do for health and struggling with consistency 03:04 - Leslie reflecting on her leadership training experience: how even top leaders struggle with weight and relationships 09:15 - Identifying emotional mastery as the missing piece in leadership and success 14:03 - Contrasting two types of success—unsustainable hustle versus steady, confident longevity 17:35 - How high achievers often analyze their struggles but fail to process emotions, leading to unresolved issues in health, relationships, and ultimately business success 20:38 - Emphasizing that true success requires emotional mastery, as unresolved emotions create instability in health, relationships, and business 23:25 - What true, lasting success requires 25:55 - Mastering emotions and embracing one's humanity as pathways to sustainable success Valuable Resources: Free Monthly Hypnosis for Weight Loss Session Join the 8-week Fastrack to Food Freedom Program -Guaranteed mental and emotional freedom from food  Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call Free 2 Hour Masterclass—How I Lost Weight Permanently and Stopped Stress Eating without Dieting or Strenuous Exercise Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@hpwl.co If you enjoy the podcast, Would you please consider leaving a quick review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes in under 60 seconds?

The Mountain E8 — On two different mountains, we witness mountain tests with two very different Elijahs. On Mount Carmel, he partners with God in challenging the false prophets of Baal, leading to the people's repentance and renewal of trust in God. But then only a chapter later, Elijah is on Mount Sinai accusing the people and loathing his prophetic calling. Why the sudden shift? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the contrasting mountain test stories of 1 Kings 18-19, reflecting on the human tendency toward fear, condemnation, and false narratives—even after great success.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: Recap of the Series So Far (0:00-9:53)Chapter 2: Elijah Tests the People on Mount Carmel (9:53-32:36)Chapter 3: Elijah Fails the Test on Mount Sinai (32:36-53:06)Official Episode TranscriptView this episode's official transcript.Referenced ResourcesCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music“Surrender (Instrumental)” by Beautiful Eulogy“Movement” (artist unknown)BibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
