Even ordinary tasks can feel overwhelming. Stress, grief, mistakes, uncertainty, and ongoing trials can leave you emotionally and spiritually exhausted, wondering how you’ll find the strength to keep going. Psalm 121 reminds us where our help comes from: the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. God does not expect us to pretend we’re okay or power through every difficult season on our own. When you’re too tired to pray, too overwhelmed to see clearly, or simply unsure how to take the next step, you can bring that weakness to Him. Jesus offers rest to those who are weary, and the Holy Spirit intercedes when we don’t have the words. Even in the darkest seasons, God remains near, providing the strength, peace, and help we need for whatever comes next. Highlights: What to do when you feel emotionally, physically, or spiritually worn down How Psalm 121 reminds us to look to God for help when life feels overwhelming Why God does not expect us to pretend we are okay or handle everything alone Finding rest in Jesus during seasons of exhaustion, stress, and hardship How the Holy Spirit helps us when we are too weak or tired to pray Why God’s presence remains with us even when we cannot feel or see Him Encouragement to trust God for the strength needed to take the next step Want more encouragement throughout your week?

My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” - Psalm 121:1-2 NIV There’s a song by Tenth Avenue North that inspired this devotional. A melancholy melody starts, then the opening lyrics say how tired and worn they feel. They have a heavy heart from all the hard work it takes just to continue breathing. The mistakes they’ve made are creating a dark cloud over their heads, and the weight of the world is crushing their soul. But they know that God can give them rest, so with all they have left, they muster up a cry to Him. The singer says he knows he needs to lift his eyes up to God and remember Him, trusting God to see him through these tough times, but he feels too weak to look up because the trials and storms of life won’t cease. But he knows God can give him what he needs, renew his mind, and restore the brokenness of his soul. So, though they don’t have the will or energy to fight, they have hope because they know God will fight for them. This reminds me of the Bible verse above (Psalm 121). It also reminds me of words by Ellie Mont that she posted to her Instagram page a while ago. Mont said, “God is not far from you right now. God is not asking you to perform or pretend or power through. God sees how tired you are. God knows the weight you are carrying. God understands the tears you do not even have the energy to cry anymore. Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Rest does not mean everything suddenly feels better. Sometimes rest is simply permission to stop pretending you are okay. Sometimes rest is letting God sit with you in the dark instead of forcing yourself toward the light. You are not failing because you are tired. You are not unfaithful because you are overwhelmed. You are human. And God is gentle with humans who are worn down.” Isn’t it good to know that God is gentle with us when we feel worn down by life? As a person who suffers from chronic fatigue, I know what it’s like to feel tired. You can feel too tired to do simple tasks or exercise. Sometimes sleep doesn’t fix it. But I am grateful to know that God offers rest to me and everyone who needs it. Over the years, God has shown me that He knows what I need before I know, and He already has provision in place. And when we feel too tired to lift our eyes up to Him and send up prayers to Heaven about how we feel and what we need, we can trust that God’s Holy Spirit intercedes for us, saying to Him what we cannot as He helps us when we feel weak (Romans 8:26-27). Part of our human experience on Earth is to go through storms, trials, and tribulations. These elements and factors can make us weary. It can also obscure our view of God and really weaken our faith in Him when we cannot see Him nor sense His Presence in dark and challenging times. But the good news is that He is always here with us (Matthew 28:20). Jesus Christ is not just the light at the end of the dark tunnel; He is the light beside us and within us (1 John 4:4). Therefore, we have nothing to fear. We can rest knowing that Jesus will always be with us. He will give us what we need to take the next step (Proverbs 3:5-6), climb that mountain, take that leap of faith, and survive the storms of life. Next time you’re feeling worn down by life, go to God. Even if you cannot pray for a long time, simply saying “Jesus, help me” will suffice. And if you cannot even say those words silently or aloud, trust that God already heard the cry of your heart, and He will meet you in your time of need.

You slept 8 hours. So why do you still feel exhausted?Here's what nobody told you: sleep and recovery are not the same thing. You can lie there unconscious all night and still wake up foggy, inflamed, and running on empty, because the real restoration happens in the deep stages of sleep most high-performers never reach. That's when your brain finally switches on its overnight cleanup crew and clears out everything the day left behind.In this episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer unpacks the science of how your body actually heals itself at night and why Scripture pointed to this rhythm long before we could measure it. In Genesis, the day begins in the evening: you were designed to recover first, then pour out.Inside this episode: 

Brad Lomenick spent more than a decade leading Catalyst, one of the biggest leadership movements in the Christian world, selling out arenas, hitting every number, building something huge. And somewhere in the middle of all that winning, he quietly fell apart. Sixty pounds overweight. Running on stress. Leading his team so poorly they secretly nicknamed him "the devil." None of it showed up on the scoreboard.In this conversation on The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer and Brad dig into how that happens to good, driven, high-capacity people, not in a dramatic crash, but through a slow drift of small compromises. They get into the wake-up call that turned it around, the single habit that reset every other area of Brad's life, and the identity shift underneath it all: your habits, they argue, are just your identity made visible. Decide who you are first, and the workouts, the discipline, and the leadership start to follow.In this episode you'll learn:The single keystone habit that recalibrated Brad's spiritual, mental, and physical life ("I am a runner")The "scorecard of life": why an A in one area and F's in the rest still adds up to losingWhy your title isn't your calling and the "riverbanks" idea that frees you to change lanes without losing yourselfJustin's 7-D pattern: the slow drift the enemy uses to wear leaders down, one distraction at a time"You can't steer a parked car": why you find your calling by taking action, not by waiting on it========================================================================About Brad LomenickBrad Lomenick is an Oklahoma-based leadership strategist, author, and self-described "convener of leaders." He spent more than a decade leading Catalyst, one of the most influential young-leader movements in the Christian world, and now advises organizations and leaders through consulting, speaking, and writing. He's the author of H3 Leadership and The Catalyst Leader, and host of the H3 Leadership podcast. ➡︎ Website & consulting: https://www.bradlomenick.com ➡︎ H3 Leadership Podcast: https://h3leadership.com ➡︎ Books (H3 Leadership + The Catalyst Leader): https://www.amazon.com/s?k=brad+lomenick ➡︎ Instagram: @bradlomenick

If you've quietly decided you've done too much damage to ever feel healthy again, this one is going to hit different. There's a reason you can neglect your health for a decade and still wake up breathing: you were built to heal, relentlessly, and on repeat.Justin Roethlingshoefer connects what the science shows, your cells replace themselves constantly, rebuilding you into a biologically new person every 5–7 years, with what Scripture said long before the microscope: restoration isn't a reward you earn, it's the way you were made. Your body isn't keeping score against you. It's waiting on you.This is for anyone who feels stuck, foggy, inflamed, or convinced a diagnosis is the final word on their life. You'll leave understanding why healing has been available to you the whole time, and the one shift that finally lets your body do what it was designed to do.In this episode, discover: 

Everyone thinks healing is something that happens to you. Alex Seeley says the real question is whether you actually want it, because most people are asking God to heal the very things they refuse to change.Justin Roethlingshoefer sits down with Alex, pastor of The Belonging Co in Nashville, for a raw Holy Health conversation about identity, deception, and why getting well can feel scarier than staying sick.This episode isn't anti-therapy or anti-medicine. Alex credits the nutritionist who helped her rebuild after 20 years of anorexia, and both she and Justin value counseling. But they make the case that the root was never the symptom — it was a lie about identity, held in the heart, that no diet, prescription, or quick fix could touch. Heal the identity, they argue, and the issue finally loses its grip.In this episode, discover:

Everyone thinks counting macros is discipline. Almost no one tells you it might be the exact thing keeping you sick, tired, and stuck. Justin Roethlingshoefer breaks down why tracking every calorie was never discipleship, it's obsession dressed up as obedience, and what it actually looks like to steward your nutrition the way God designed.This episode isn't anti-nutrition or anti-education. Counting calories for a week to learn what's on your plate is a tool. But the moment tracking becomes the lifestyle you live by, it stops being freedom and quietly becomes a prison, one that pulls you further from the whole foods your body was actually built to run on, while you fit "macro-friendly" chemicals into a worldly box and call it worship.In this episode, discover:The difference between using tracking as an educational tool vs. a lifestyle (and the exact moment it turns into a prison)Why "macro-friendly" foods sabotage you — how you end up eating more chemicals than real food, even when the numbers "fit"What Romans 12:1–2 actually means for your plate — eating healthy as the living sacrifice, not the restrictionThe real reason you're still sick, foggy, inflamed, and stuck (hint: you've starved the cell of what God gave it)The one shift that ends the obsession for good: eat what God made, not what man madeBecause freedom was never in the equation. It was never about fitting the ice cream sundae into your macros, it was about surrendering what you fuel with into the temple so you can carry out the calling on your life. Whole foods. Single-ingredient foods. Eaten freely, and with gratitude. Stop counting. Start stewarding.

"You can sing the gospel and still not live it."   That's the line that stopped Justin Roethlingshoefer cold when Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham told him they'd surrendered everything to God except their health. It was the one thing they were resisting, and the place their growth kept stalling.   In this conversation you'll learn why your habits are just your identity made visible, and how that changes what you actually do on Monday. You'll hear the simple evening rhythm Justin uses to fix the wrecked sleep most worship leaders run on, the three-two-one rule that gets you into the deep sleep that lets your body repair. And you'll get the reframe on Romans 12: your health doesn't die on the altar of your ministry, and rest is the obedience, not the weakness.   Justin spent over a decade as a health coach in the NHL before touring the world with Brandon and Phil, and he's the founder of Holy Health.   If you've ever come home Sunday wiped out and wondered if you're the only one losing sleep over the weekend, this one's for you. When Sunday prep is handled, you have room to steward the rest. Worship Online gives your whole team a system to show up ready, so rehearsal refines instead of fixing.

Everyone's got a health expert they follow. But almost no one tells you how to know if that person is actually worth trusting, or just really good at selling. Justin Roethlingshoefer breaks down the difference between marketing science and real science: how to evaluate any health claim, the red flags of someone optimizing for reach over results, and the questions that expose who's in it for your transformation versus who's in it for the check.This episode isn't anti-influencer or anti-supplement. Some of the loudest voices are also the most credentialed. But the wellness industry passed $6 trillion in 2024, and that kind of money attracts operators who've figured out that trust is the product, once they have it, they can sell you almost anything behind it.In this episode, discover:

The God Who Searches Me (Psalm 139 Series Finale)Psalm 139:19-24 This Sunday we close out our four-week journey through Psalm 139 with our final message. We've spent the last three weeks marveling at a God who knows us, is present with us everywhere, and formed us with intention and care. This week, we confront the fuller picture of who He is: a holy God who hates sin (Psalm 139:19-22, Proverbs 6:16-19) and yet loved us enough to send His Son to the cross so that hatred of sin would never mean rejection of us. We'll pause during the message to celebrate Holy Communion together, and then close with David's most courageous prayer: "Search me, God, and know my heart... see if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." We'll take time for quiet reflection and an open invitation to respond at the altar, closing our service with Phil Wickham's "Your Name Is Holy." Come ready to be searched, and to be led. I hope to see you Sunday, Pastor doug

Everyone's talking about Ozempic. But almost no one tells you what it's quietly doing to your body, or how to use it without paying for it later.Justin Roethlingshoefer breaks down the long-term side effects of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound (semaglutide and tirzepatide): the muscle and bone you lose, why people quit, what happens when you stop, and the protocol to do it right.This episode isn't anti-GLP-1. For type 2 diabetes, severe obesity, or high cardiovascular risk these drugs can be extraordinary. But in the STEP 1 trial, 40% of the weight lost was lean body mass: for every 10 pounds gone, up to 4 can be muscle.In this episode:

Jordan Rubin joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful faith and health conversation on biblical nutrition, healing, and what the Bible actually says about food — including the foods, herbs, and lifestyle habits Scripture points to for healing, longevity, and living the way God designed.This is a biblical process for healing that actually works — not another passing diet trend. Jordan's story is extraordinary: a healthy teenager diagnosed with Crohn's colitis at 19, who dropped to 104 pounds and spent two years in a wheelchair fighting for his life. Years later, after building a health and wellness career, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 90 days to live. Both times, he was healed — not through conventional treatment alone, but through faith, obedience, and a return to the health principles found in the Bible.This episode reframes health as worship and stewardship, not performance or trend-chasing. As the wellness world grows louder and more divided — carnivore, vegan, paleo, keto — all competing for "the truth," Justin and Jordan return to the blueprint that's been available the whole time.

Belah Rose joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful Christian marriage conversation on what makes a good marriage, how to build a healthy Christian marriage, how to restore intimacy in marriage, and how husbands and wives can rebuild trust, connection, communication, forgiveness, and emotional closeness.If you are married, in a struggling marriage, trying to improve your marriage relationship, wondering how to save your marriage, or asking what the role of husband and wife in marriage should look like God's way, this episode gives practical tools and biblical perspective for healing, ownership, and reconnection.In a world where many couples feel distant, disconnected, resentful, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in cycles of blame, Justin and Belah call out what most married people miss: a healthy marriage relationship is not built by waiting for your spouse to change. It begins when one person asks, “What can I own?”This episode reframes Christian marriage as stewardship. Your marriage affects your peace, emotional health, spiritual health, family, habits, calling, and ability to live with freedom.Inside this conversation, Justin and Belah break down:

Stefanie Billette joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a powerful women's health conversation on perimenopause, hormone changes, hot flashes, weight gain, low energy, thyroid health, sleep, nutrition, strength training, and why women need a better strategy for this transition.Perimenopause can feel like your body is working against you. Energy drops, sleep changes, hot flashes start, weight gain shows up, and workouts stop working the way they used to. But this does not mean your body is broken.This episode reframes perimenopause as something women can understand, support, and thrive through. Stefanie breaks down what's happening in the body and how nutrition, sleep, fasting windows, fermented foods, strength training, thyroid support, cortisol regulation, and metabolic health all play a role.This conversation is not about fear. It's about ownership

Danielle Strickland joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on embodied faith, the relationship between Christian faith and physical health, and why so many believers have been taught to silence, punish, or disconnect from their bodies—instead of seeing them as a good gift designed to carry their calling.In a world that turns discipline, intensity, and physical performance into the goal, Danielle shares the moment she realized she had never intentionally loved her body. What began as a simple breath prayer exposed a relationship built on shame, control, and pushing through pain—and invited her into a completely different way of living.This episode reframes the true metric of Christian health: it's not appearance, intensity, or perfect discipline—it's stewardship + connection ✝️… learning to care for your body without worshiping it and integrate your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health

Pastor Levi Lusko joins Justin Roethlingshoefer on The OWN IT Show for a Holy Health conversation on health as worship (not performance), why the Church keeps falling into two extremes (neglect vs idolatry), and how “holy health” is ultimately surrendered health —built to carry your calling.In a world that turns “discipline” into the goal, Justin and Levi call out what most people don't see: you can quote Scripture, lead well, and still quietly run your body into the ground—until your peace, patience, and relationships begin to erode.This episode reframes the true metric of Holy Health: it's not your image, your biohacks, or your numbers—it's stewardship + obedience… because that's what builds long-term capacity.They also unpack:

It's Thursday, June 11th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian court sentences Muslims to death for executing Catholics Last week, a court in the African nation of Nigeria sentenced four Muslim men to death for killing dozens of Catholics. Four years ago, the gunmen attacked a Pentecost Sunday service at a Catholic Church in southwest Nigeria. They killed 41 people, including children. Authorities determined that the armed men belonged to Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terrorist group. The massacre was the first terrorist attack on a church in southern Nigeria.   According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the seventh most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Proverbs 7:14 and 16 says, “Behold, the wicked man conceives evil . . . His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.” Sudanese man arrested in Ireland for attempted beheading Authorities in Northern Ireland arrested a migrant from the African nation of Sudan on Tuesday. Police in Belfast accused him of carrying out a severe knife attack on a man in his 40s. People across the United Kingdom responded to the attempted beheading with protests. The victim was hospitalized with significant injuries to his face, neck, and back. Many U.K. citizens question their government's immigration policies, including Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe. In February, the lawmaker launched a national political party called Restore Britain. The party is devoted to ending mass immigration and also openly recognizes Britain's Christian heritage.  Congress funds $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol In the United States, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act yesterday. The $70 billion package fully funds the Department of Homeland Security. The bill specifically covers U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the rest of President Trump's second term.  Listen to comments from House Speaker Mike Johnson after Congress passed the bill. JOHNSON: “The historic mandate that put President Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in both the House and the Senate is evidence of the fact that Democrats' ‘Defund the Police' agenda is wildly out of step with hardworking American families. After four long years of Democrat policies that opened the door to dangerous criminals and deadly drugs, Republicans are delivering on our promise to restore safe streets and secure our borders.” Inflation rose 4.3% Inflation reached a three-year high last month for American consumers.  The cost of goods and services rose 4.2 percent in May compared to a year ago. Rising energy costs drove the inflation. Gasoline prices were up 40 percent from a year earlier.    iPhone launch connected to lower U.S. fertility rate A new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research suggests that the launch of the iPhone contributed to declining fertility rates in the U.S. Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007. The U.S. general fertility rate has fallen by 22 percent since then. People have been spending more time on their smartphones and less time with each other.  The study noted, “Overall, the diffusion of the iPhone explains 33–52% of the decline in the general fertility rate among women aged 15–44.” Southern Baptists: Only men can serve as pastors The Southern Baptist Convention affirmed its position yesterday that only men can serve as pastors. Over 70 percent of the denomination's representatives voted in favor of the “Truth and Unity Amendment.” The measure was sponsored by Albert Mohler Jr., the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The amendment would require churches in the denomination to not appoint women as pastors, elders, or overseers.  Listen to comments from Dr. Mohler. MOHLER: “This motion makes very clear that we affirm the historic Baptist understanding of the pastor, elder, overseer. The structure of the language I have brought goes all the way back to the 1689 Baptist Confession, where the office and function of the pastor are clearly delineated. “This amendment makes very clear that a church, in friendly cooperation with the Southern Baptist Convention, doesn't have anyone other than a man as pastor in the office of pastor and specifies on the functions of the pastor that the key central function of preaching the Word of God to the gathered assembly is limited to men by Scripture.” 1 Timothy 3:1-2 says, “If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach.”  Animated movie “David” claims #1 spot on Netflix And finally, the animated film David reached the number one spot on Netflix for movies in the United States over the weekend.  The Bible movie from Angel Studios officially premiered on the streaming service just last Wednesday. (audio from David movie trailer) DAVID: “I'm just a shepherd, but deep down I know I can take on the world.” NARRATOR: “There is a darkness over the land.” SAMUEL:  “Our enemies will strike once more.” MAN: “Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen!” DAVID: “Okay.” MAN: “Now imagine somebody ate him.” GIRL: “Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?” GOLIATH: “You will serve us!” GIRL: “They may have been bigger than even I thought.” Christian music artist Phil Wickham voiced the adult David in the movie. Wickham told Crosswalk Headlines the film is “full of the story of God and full of Psalms and full of hallelujah and faith and hope.  … I think this movie will last decades. I think it will be something our grandkids watch.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 11th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Biohacking and longevity are everywhere—CGMs, peptides, cold plunges, sauna protocols, and expensive testing—all chasing the same outcome: live longer and function better.But here's what most people miss: the strongest longevity principles aren't new. They're ancient. They're biblical. And modern science keeps “discovering” what God already designed. In this episode of The OWN IT Show, Justin breaks down 5 biblical habits for longevity—and the science behind why they work—through one core lens: health is worship, not performance.You'll learn:✅ Sabbath (Recovery): why your body needs a real stop—and why God called it holy ✅ Fasting (Cellular repair): what autophagy is, and why fasting is formation—not a flex ✅ Community (Belonging): why covenant community builds resilience (and why “networking” isn't the same)✅ Movement (Strength + stamina): why discipline is stewardship for the long haul ✅ Food (Whole ingredients): why “grandma food” still wins—simple, recognizable, minimally processedThe deeper point: longevity without purpose becomes “optimization without telos”—better numbers, but an unchanged life.If this hit you, share it with someone chasing health—but missing the why. And remember: we were given the right answers for free… so take care of the temple. ============================================================================Our Sponsor:The Rise of the Health Haven Documentary — Watch the full story of how Justin and Alyse transformed their backyard into a purpose-built wellness sanctuary.

What happens when a worship leader finally stops hiding? That is the question underneath everything Jordan Colle shares in this conversation. He is a worship leader and songwriter with Bethel Music, currently touring with Phil Wickham and carrying a multigenerational ministry legacy that started long before anyone knew his name. But the most honest moment in this episode is not about the tour or the songs. It is about what shifted when he finally laid everything at the feet of Jesus and stopped pretending some of it was not there. In this episode you will hear how growing up in a ministry family shaped his view of worship from the very beginning, what a moment in South Florida at a worship school confirmed about his calling through Isaiah 61, what it was like returning to his home church as a 20-year-old leading a team of people twice his age, what four years writing alongside Brandon Lake taught him about finding his voice, and how he has learned to hold calling in one hand and surrender in the other without crushing either one. This is a conversation for worship leaders who want to lead from a deeper place. Not just a more polished one.   Worship Online is your new secret weapon for preparing each week.

I'm not a Lead Pastor, but I can't imagine anything more difficult than pastoring in today's political climate. We feel that these days are unique, but in reality they are not. History has much to teach us. Occasionally I like to bring Lead Pastors onto the podcast to talk about how they're navigating cultural issues. My guest today is Evan Wickham. Evan is the older brother of Phil Wickham, also a worship leader and songwriter, and the pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego, California. Here's what's interesting: In his very church, he has a Christian Border Patrol Agent and Immigrant families, both trying to make sense of the times in which we live. Evan's perspective on how to pastor faithfully is enlightening. What does faithful pastoring look like? How do partisan politics compromise the gospel? Should our Sunday services address the latest issues in the news or should we just stick to the gospel? Is it possible to pastor from the political center? We can't escape politics, no matter how much we would like to try. Politics effect how we live together. The Bible is a political book. Conversations like this rarely make anyone happy but faithful leaders need to step into the tension. Don't miss the end of the conversation where we talk about worship, songwriting, and the presence of God in our churches. Evan's challenge were beautiful and surprising. Topics Covered: Deconstruction and staying in the Church Why Baby Boomer pastors are not known for letting go 3 signs that you are a healthy pastor The Matt Walsh vs Evan Wickham social media beef How to think about what President Trump is saying and doing How to Pastor both right and left leaning people in your congregation What the presence of God actually means Whether we should pursue revival or not Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Christ the King of Love by Evan Wickham Evan Wickham Substack Show Sponsor: Planning Center This episode is brought to you by Planning Center, helping you sync all your ministry details across your whole church. Planning Center has become so essential to how I manage a team, that it's almost impossible to consider local church ministry without it anymore. Today, I want to leave you with a PCO pro-tip. Does this sound like a familiar situation? It's the end of the week. You're about to leave the office when you suddenly think: Did all of our volunteers confirm for Sunday? You scroll through the schedule and sure enough—there's a gap. Instead of allowing yourself to spiral into a panic, try this: In Services, Planning Center has gap alerts. Turn them on, and you'll get a heads-up days before service if positions are still unfilled or unconfirmed. No more end of the week scrambling. Speaking of less scrambling, did you know you can access everything you need for rehearsals right from the Service media player on your phone? Lyrics, chord charts, arrangement notes—it's all right there, so you're not hunting for files in the middle of hitting those power chords. To see what else you can do to make your Sundays easier, go to planningcenter.com/blog.
