Sunday Set List: “Adonai, a dead man you found”

Almost 1 year ago my family made a trip to Lake Tahoe for a family members wedding. We turned it into a nice vacation time and we just had a blast. But inside I was a mess struggling to deal with the financial burden my family was under. Our business had failed and the combined [...]

Sunday Set List: “Our only prize is Jesus, is that enough?”

This was a weighty Sunday for me as I prepared a financial update from the church to share with the body. There wasn’t really any good news I could deliver except that we worship Jesus and he can change our hearts. I attempted to lovingly but firmly expose our sin of greed and money worship [...]

Sunday Set List: “In spite of the band”

Yesterday was rough from a music point of view. If you’ve read my blog for any length of time you know I’m pretty critical of myself and the music. Well you didn’t need to be very critical to know there were some major problems. So much so that I really wasn’t looking forward to this [...]

Sunday Set List: “Acoustic break down”

Dynamics are crucial to a good set. Dynamics inside of a song, dynamics in the set as a whole, dynamics in instrumentation and vocals.
