Beyond Sunday Worship Leader Podcast

Today’s interview is a conversation with Marc Jolicoeur, Worship Pastor at Moncton Wesleyan Church in New Brunswick, Canada. Marc has been part of a study (along with Mike Tapper, chair of Religion at Southern Wesleyan University) that analyzes the life curves of the songs we sing. This is a fascinating study. And to be honest, I totally geek out over a topic like this. In This Episode You’ll Learn More About: Why worship songs are moving in and out of our churches faster Comparing the life cycles of older songs like Refiner’s Fire and In the Secret with newer songs like The BlessingTechnology, Industry, and Culture and how they influence the life cycle of songs today Influencers in worship and how they have changed in the last 10 yearsIf songs with a short shelf life are OKWhy we are placing too much of an emphasis on songs in corporate worshipThe dangers of worshiping worship Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Worship ArtistryShow Sponsor: Planning CenterThe Life Cycle of Worship Songs articleChristianity Today articleThe Eternal Current by Aaron Niequest Aaron Niequist on Rethinking and Reshaping our Sunday Gatherings Show Sponsor #1: Worship Artistry This episode is brought to you by Worship Artistry. If I could recommend one resource to help Worship Leaders equip and empower their teams, it would be Worship Artistry. One of the biggest frustrations I hear from worship leaders is that their band does not show up prepared. Not only does Worship Artistry help with musician preparation, it helps to get everyone on the exact same page.  Worship Artistry exists to help musicians of every level answer the call to worship with passion and confidence. A growing library of over 600 album-correct song tutorials features arrangements for the band you have: electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, drums, keys, and 3 part vocals. Everything is broken down into easy-to-digest chapters, practice loops at different speeds, and transposable chord charts, sheet music, and tablature.  WA is great for individual learning or the whole worship team. Teams are where it shines because you get everybody on the same page. It’s a great way to equip your current musicians and grow your future ones. I’m excited Worship Artistry is sponsoring this podcast and offering 10% off an annual subscription to Beyond Sunday listeners. Just head over to worshipartistry.com/beyondsunday to sign up. Show Sponsor #2: Planning Center So let’s talk about Planning Center. For those of you who are old enough, we often refer to worship leading eras as the pre-Planning Center days and the Planning Center days. It’s that game-changing and that important. I talk about Planning Center pretty often on here, and if you’re a worship pastor, you might be wondering what more there is to Planning Center for you beyond worship planning and scheduling. And there is. Did you know that with a subscription to Planning Center Services you also have free access to another incredibly powerful product People?
