Regarding the MANY comments saying "What about the Holy Spirit"... This video actually demonstrates us being led by the Holy Spirit. In the beginning, Caleb talks about the song, and what he said was 100% inspired by God/Holy Spirit. The band was able to give him space to lead in that moment, and then we played the song. Regarding the song itself, I’ve found that most churches play the songs in the arrangement that they were recorded. We have space to repeat things at the end or linger in a moment if we’d like, but the click track and MD mic just let us all stay on the same page. And if we do decide to repeat something, it allows us to effectively communicate that to everyone in the band. To suggest that planning (and then executing that plan) is somehow squelching the Holy Spirit is foolish, in my opinion. The Spirit lead in our planning just as much as the Spirit leads in the moment. We believe that effective worship leadership calls upon the Holy Spirit's guidance both in the planning stages and in the execution.

@DJC955 3 года назад

The Bible does say play SKILLFULLY, so organization is a divine thing that keeps the audience from getting distracted due to technical difficulties. People that criticize the structural tools have probably never been part of an advanced production. What I wouldn't give to have this kind of setup for the actors and band, when I play musicals with the local theater companies in my city. Anyways awesome work!

@rznmsc5495 3 года назад

My church over the last few years has slowly grown from wedges and vocal cues to clicks and MD’s. As a musician, I initially found the click very helpful but the guide restrictive. Now as a growing and learning leader and MD, and someone who is creating the Ableton projects and structuring the service, I see how it’s about creating an opportunity and environment of worship for the congregation, and how the only limitation on spontaneous worship and opportunities in this structure is now my ability to interact with the project and create that space as well. It has been incredibly helpful in so many ways

@jonathandeleon2417 3 года назад

Love it! When people tell me tracks and planning a service is not allowing the Holy Spirit to move I ask them to give me an explanation how that is biblical. When they have no answer to me I give it to them straight and say it’s an excuse to be lazy and unprepared. I say that with confidence because that was me 😬. God is a God of order. it literally says in the first chapter of the Bible. 😆

@DontLetTheOldManIn 3 года назад

I think what concerns many is not planning but the seeming rigidity of the execution. I’ve never done it and doubt many of the detractors have either so it’s total speculation! Obviously it works for many. If people are worshiping for real then more power.

@sirtreebeard8106 3 года назад

I think comments like that are often spoken out of fear, its like switching from using wedges to using IEMs, I know some who wont but in truth it actually helps. I get it can be scary or feel weird but it truly helps and really adds to what you can do.

It's weird, as a drummer I've played at churches like this with in-ears and this kind of organisation. But I've also played at churches where all you have to rely on is a speaker/monitor and hand signals or a look lol. While I love the organised feel and I feel more content with my performance. I prefer the latter, with the hand signals haha. It just feels more natural. It also keeps you on your toes for any surprises, like when the Pastor is in the spirit and sings a song non of the musicians have heard of before 😂. We've all been there lol. All in all, ministering for God is always good.

@brothad9302 3 года назад

Yes, I agree as well! I think the click track is a sort of a crutch/ or excuse for not really knowing the tune. It’s difficult for me to immerse myself into the worship with a voice in my ear telling me where to go. Our team uses it, but I go without it and be sure I’m in time with the drummer. I play bass. On the other hand, I can see the benefit of adding orchestration to a small ensemble with the aid of track. Anyway, ✌🏾 Brother!

@shuna. 3 года назад

In our church, it's also hand signals. I'm not a musician and once I learned what their hand signals mean, it's fun looking at them when they get so into it that they almost missed a signal haha I stopped paying attention to it later on though because it's distracting me from worship lol

@indradipdutta9059 3 года назад

I had no idea this is how a bigger church worship operates.... Ours is a smaller congregation. I usually play the piano and sometimes I play the Cajon. Since its a small band, we can communicate with our eyes LOL. I am self taught, and I want to be a good pianist one day. I play at a very basic level currently. Hopefully with God's blessings, I will make this year a much more productive year, and learn a lot more about music and piano.

@thelvadam2358 3 года назад

Yeah bro, keep it up. I'm sure that you'll become a better pianist if you keep practicing diligently. I've been playing the piano for 11 years now, and I'm also mostly self taught lol. But then our band needed a guitar around 5 years ago so I got to learn within a month (just imagine the first time I played the guitar in a service, spoiler: I forgot most of the chords). However I managed to improve although I still need to learn more, so be constant and you'll see great improvements.

@graceangela5218 3 года назад

having IEM MD and click doesnt mean that you can't experience the same presence, that doesn't mean that you're not being led by Spirit. Praise and Worship team is the one who lead the whole Praise and Worship, so it would be great that everything is also as good as possible, as we're giving Him the best one we got :)

@jstandhh Год назад

Moreover, it humbles the workers, so we gonna realize that we are not the perfect ones, we need something and someone to lead us, keep us on track. In the end of the day, we realize it's all done not because of our strength, but because of The Creator Himself. Without MD that keep us on track, we would have played it off track. The only perfect being is The Creator Himself, He's the one that doesn't need any MD, because He's the Director of all directors Himself. 🙌🏻

@mmmmdddd2267 7 месяцев назад

@@jstandhh I disagree friend. The click tracks create a barrier of "exactness" for newer musicians, and it's distracting from the actual worship in your ear. It certainly helps them as a tool, but you better believe they're not worshipping, they are laser focused on IE and click cues. Sure, experienced musicians can handle live direction, loud ticking, fake voice cues and stay in the moment.... But can they? I've been a leader for 15 years. Sure, tech can be helpful for some churches, but to say a manmade object keeps us "on track" and humble? Like God wouldn't love a bunch of worshippers bellowing "amazing grace" with slightly out of tune guitar.... Sounds like pride and a need to have a perfect " performance" to me.

@jstandhh 7 месяцев назад

@@mmmmdddd2267 Click tracks can also worship God, worshipping is not only from singing and playing music, but from how much your heart want to give the best quality for Him. He understands us. And the one who needs to worship in this case is audience, we as servers in the stage should provide them the best service. It's a sacrifice we should hear loud CLICK noise, but audience would be served the best with it. If we keep off track, audience could be confused and distracting them from worshipping (been experiencing that as one of the audience of some church. Bad experience) It's a sacrifice my friend, a sacrifice. Thats our worship and gift to The Creator as the servers of stage in church. Been serving 10+ years as one of instrument player on some local church. We just used CLICK several months now, and the audience says it's BETTER and NEAT compared to before using click. Thats our sacrifice, thats our sacrifice, so audience can be served with the best quality we can provide, and they can worshipping and praising God freely and happily without being distracted of instrumental that being off track/tempo.

The talkback is also great for dealing with unexpected songs from the pastor or for calling out spur-of-the-moment chord progressions when the Spirit is leading the worship a certain way. This way the whole band knows what to do next.

@rhymeskill 2 года назад

Real talk, the pastor just needs to pastor and not try to lead worship also. If he wants he can get up there and sing then do whatever he wants. If not, you have a worship leader and you trust them to lead worship.

@mmmmdddd2267 7 месяцев назад

And, why can't you nod or holler across the stage? What, the congregation don't know you? You have to be some sort of polite perfection when the Holy Spirit speaks? It's not ok to worship God as humans, fluid in the moment, we have to structure it and pipe it directly into our ear canals? And when you do this, you have to realize that most organic communication and Holy Spirit leading between active live band members goes away... They're all expecting input, so nobody has a real feel or ownership over any moment.

This is a GREAT video for MDs & WLs who want to move forward and grow. I would love for my team to hear this to get a glimpse of our next step. I've read thru many of the comments and some almost sound judgmental, but we have to remember where they are currently. It's like going through the transition of the Praise & Worship era all over again. With the, "I don't like it" and "I prefer the fly by the seat of my pants worship". It's all good and I get it. I am 50 yrs old and very much accustomed to 'organized' worship with tracks and spontaneous worship with no clicks or tracks as well. You simply conform to your surroundings and what is able to be done. God is STILL God and He will move where He wants, when He wants. As long as we are in tune with His Spirit, that's all that matters. As the song says, NOTHING ELSE. LoL.

Thanks Matt! People just make assumptions as they wish. What they don’t know is this was only the second time playing that song that day and I was merely providing guidance so we can play the song well.

By about the 10th time of the 2nd line it's kinda hard to stay in worship to me, at least on stage you've got something to do other than feel guilty about that ;) Some worship teams can pull it off which is why I think this became so prolific in the last 10-15 years particularly (e.g. personally I think hillsong is fantastic at this, rarely overdoing it, rarely missing chances to drive things home). But most... it just feels really forced and distracting to me :\

I think you can focus more on worshipping if you don't have to remember if you are supposed to play the tag again there or repeat that chorus here. And in this case, where they don't seem to have any chords or sheet music on stage, the guide in your ear is extra helpful.

@JonathanGrahamVideo 3 года назад

I would argue that doing the music with excellence is part of the worship bands’ job to guide the congregation into a more worshipful experience, which sometimes means the worship band might have to sacrifice some of what personally brings them more into worship. That’s why they are a “worship leader” not just a “worshiper.” It’s not really about what the band wants, but more about them helping guide the crowd into worship. If they were just focused on worshipping and not leading, they wouldn’t be on the stage, they would be in the crowd because that’s an intimate moment. But worship leading on the other hand is a public service. I think a lot of Christians don’t make that distinction between the two.

@barisax96 3 года назад

@@JonathanGrahamVideo yes doing music with excellence is important, everyone should be practicing, and learning their instrument and improving all the time. Personally I have played music from 3rd grade and have been through the military school of music and I can tell you I have never played with a click track. a good drummer will drive the band, and if you have a bad drummer the bass will help them out. but if I am leading worship and don't enter into worship myself. where am I leading others to? they are following me, so if I don't go there neither will they. the time to work on perfection is in the practice sessions and rehearsals. once you are playing for God, you let that go and focus on him and present him everything you worked on, enter into praise and worship and bring your congregation with you. I would much rather musicians that made a couple mistakes but truly had their hearts on God then the absolutely greatest polished performance ever.

@mmmmdddd2267 7 месяцев назад

God IS a God of order. I've been a worship leader for a long time -- be careful. This is very orderly, and gives the impression to the congregation of flexibly following the Spirit while exactly on tempo. It squashes all connection between musicians and congregation, often drowns out the actual music in the Team's ear, they just hear clicks and cues, and it's all extremely performative. God is also creative, and allowing freedom of soul bearing worship is important, so be wary of "ordering" yourself into pre-fab worship.

@worshiptutorials 7 месяцев назад

@mmmmdddd2267 are you just responding to everyone you disagree with here as a form of asserting dominance? What you are doing is saying one form of worship is bad and your form is better. There is room for both. And you are also making a lot of assumptions here. There is no squashing of connection. If anything it allows for better connection because the click is helping us all stay together and we are able to separate ourselves from that element and engage with one another more because of it. We aren’t the ones saying your preference is wrong. But you are.

@mmmmdddd2267 7 месяцев назад

@vanheath5382 3 года назад

The question is whether it’s Leading Worship or Performing. There are many many Worship Leaders that don’t lead, but rather perform on Sunday mornings. A worship teams job is to play and sing in a predictable way so that people can sing along or meditate on the Lord and be one in spirit. When worship teams change arrangements, go off in ad-libs or solo it distracts from the heart of worship and focus is taken away from God and placed on the performance. You are correct that it can be excellence and worship at the same time. But it should never be a performance during worship

@terreausore2435 3 года назад

@candersonll 3 года назад

The presentation of the song can always contain the Holy Spirit even secular songs no doubt! This worship teams preparation to play is the same as any other worship teams… learn and arrange the song. The only difference is the actual presentation in where one type of worship band hears the spirit filled song along with the congregation the other is listening to someone talking and a horrible clicking sound to keep everyone on time. But maybe if the musicians require this than sweet. I couldn’t play in this band though personally because hearing and singing along with the congregation while I’m playing which is big tie of community that I do not want to miss out on. I’m more concerned about the worship teams ability to worship in what is a huge part of community and the church which is corporate praise. The congregations experience is worship with you, the band. but as member of this team I’m not sure you could experience this important part of life while this talking and clicking is happening at least I don’t think I could

Could you make a video (or add to another video that includes this topic) that takes about how you go about making seem less transitions between your songs and how that translate onto what I assume you guys use as Ableton. I would assume if you guys use Ableton, you guys use arrangement view for seem less click/track transitions. You guys also rely mainly on pre programmed cues (which is what our church uses), how do you adapt if the band gets off the arrangement of the cues (track conflicting with the band). I have so many questions. I’m wanting to introduce MDs to our church XD

I just wanted to comment again and encourage you guys! Ignore everyone saying that because of having this level of production means you aren't Spirit-Led. God uses all things - even plans and production(😱). God leads production also. God encourages us to bring our best fruits forward and if that is high production then it's high production and if it's all just band then it's just band. It discouraged me to see so many people commenting hateful things on this video. What a petty small thing to argue about 🤦. They are glorifying God. I know as a worship leader myself the click, ques, and tracks have actually help me greatly in even feeling a genuine worship moment myself, not alone the congregation. Before the clicks, tracks, and ques were introduced in my church I would be stressed out every Sunday. People might tell me just to practice more - hun.. I practiced four or more hours a day. The production helps me as a worship leader feel comfortable and have led to more Spirit-Led moments for me (wow.. who knew a click could help with that..) instead of no clicks and stressing out the the whole set. The tracks keep me in key and the click helps me stay on tempo. Fam, legit people need to calm down. God says to do everything for the glory of God and as long as you are, then you're all good.

I'm just saying God can use everything, even clicks. I'm not just a worship leader, but I'm also on the production team, and I have witnessed so many conversations where the team is just trying to use their gifts for the glory of God.

@FennecFoxMedia 3 года назад

As an MD on my church's worship team, you might be interested to know that we use hand signals too! The platform is pretty wide and musicians on the sides--especially the front row--would have a hard time catching all of the hand signals from the worship leader, so instead, the worship leader gives hand signals to me (MD) which I then communicate to the rest of the team. That way, the rest of the team doesn't have to divert their attention away from the congregation or their instrument. Even more importantly, the MD mic goes to the lighting, sound, and camera team so that they can be on top of last minute changes too. There's no way they would catch all of the worship leader's hand signals. There's nothing wrong with leading worship without an MD. It's just that it's just another tool to help create a distraction free environment for the congregation :)
