Travis Strong replied to Vinod Cherian's discussion 'Why men have stopped singing in Church ?'"Last month I finished my CCLI recording period and discovered that I had sung 74 different songs over the course of 6 months. Two of them I had sung 4 times, 3 I had sung 3 times and 5 I had sung twice. All the rest were single use over the…"

Travis Strong replied to JORN's discussion 'Experiential Worship'"This is what I would've said, too. but teaching can look as simple as intorducing a song by explaining an odd lyric or giving scriptural background for the songs you sing. Those kinds of things make the songs become more than just songs - they…"

Andy Bartlomain replied to Travis Strong's discussion 'Church Discipline (or disciplining your Worship Team)' in the group Worship LEADER"Mike, I think you have the right approach. We MUST remember as leaders that we are leading people, and with people comes life issues. Having the heart of helping people will really direct conversations. I think that making a decision on whether a…"
Travis Strong replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'Why refuse a capo?'"As I read down through so many comments, I have to agree that capo's allow me to focus on the worship at hand, rather than struggle through unfamiliar fingerings.

Travis Strong replied to Phil Williams's discussion 'How Often Do You / Should You Change Your Acoustic Guitar Strings?' in the group Acoustic Guitarists"I use something called "Nut Sauce" - a silicon gel that you place on the bridge and nut before you put strings back on. Haven't broken a string on my Taylor since."
Travis Strong replied to Daron Ladner's discussion 'New Music' in the group Worship LEADER"I folow this idea a lot, too.
Big songs will be intro'd as specials, sometimes with special choirs to make sure it comes off well. Other times, we'll intro the song in a regular set, but prep the congregation that it's coming, then…"

Church Discipline (or disciplining your Worship Team)
I've had to call out members of my Team in the past for lifestyle issues; it caused a riff, and was very hard on me personally, but we made it through, and are stronger, I believe, for it all.My question today ('cuz something else is brewing...): Are there any issues out there that would allow you, or cause you, to ask someone to step off the stage, for a season or permanently?Addictions? Infidelity? Divorce? Ego?How do you apply and demonstrate grace in these situations?See More
Travis Strong replied to Minister King David Cason III's discussion 'WORSHIP CRUTCHES (John 4:23)' in the group Worship LEADER"I like this idea a lot - I can see myself even beginning a service with this!
