We want to see as many people as possible finish the “5k Every Day in the Month of May” challenge this year! I’ll be putting out a quick tip video like this each week of April, leading up to the epic challenge starting on May 1.
For the past several weeks we have talked about becoming a musical ninja. We outlined the different parameters for musical beat, discovered how to know what notes and chords are in each key, how those chords within a key can be represented by numbers, and even what notes make up each individual chord. Now it is time to put all of that knowledge together…
A couple of weeks ago I experienced an absolute treat! I had the privilege of spending Sunday evening through Wednesday morning at Glen Eyrie Castle in Colorado Springs, CO. I was asked to lead worship and take my place at the table with the Gospel Advancing Ministry Council, facilitated by Dare 2 Share ministries.

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. (Isaiah 11:21, ESV)
In contemporary western music, songs are typically written in a specific key and only include notes and chords that are a part of that key. In fact, each song essentially uses only seven notes over and over again. In this chapter, we will discover how to find those seven notes for each key.
St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays of the year! St. Patrick’s Day provides a great opportunity for us to reflect on our lives and consider what we would be willing to surrender for the sake of advancing the Gospel!
Music is the combination of tones, frequencies, chords, and progressions played together over a set amount of time.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20, ESV)
In the next several Weekly Worship Thoughts supplemental videos I will be unpacking a basic understanding of music theory to help you understand how to practically utilize the Nashville Numbers System in your context. Then… we can all be musical ninjas, wizards, and gurus as we work together to lead God’s people in musical worship.
For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. – Psalm 100:5, ESV
It is weird to sing about the matchless love of Christ, the good news of the gospel, and the hope that we have in Jesus without being excited about what we are singing.
