About
This blog exists to help worship leaders do what they do better.
Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile the big concert stages with the every day practicality of leading worship in the local church. I want to help connect the dots. My writings are brief, practical, and applicable to being a worship leader in the local church today. Thanks for stopping by. I am a Worship Pastor at Allison Park Church in Pittsburgh, PA. You may or may not be a worship leader. Even thought I gear my writings towards that audience, I write plenty of content on leadership, devotional life, music, and ministry.

Right on! Love that guy.
That’s a question I’ve asked myself, I wonder if God has a favorite style of music. This weekend I was at a christian book store in the Greensburg Mall that had a poster saying ‘God Loves Metal’ and then went on to list all the different categories of metal.
The best thing to me is that no matter what type of music it is you can find a part of that style being used for worship to God. One of my favorite albums I have is called Answer To The Master, by a band called Impellitteri. And they are pure heavy metal and at the time I got it I really didnt connect that this band was a christian band or the album was about God, but its just things like that, I heard about God through that album and through a form of music that some people see as “the devils music”
Good word, Luke. I don’t believe there is such a thing as ‘devils music’. Gregorian Chant or classical piano could be used to worship the devil or it could be used to worship God. I do believe that certain music is ‘known’ as darker because not many Christians use it in worship, through there are some.
