Recorded Roundtable Discussion: Catering Weekend Services?

Back on November 14th, 2011 we hosted a live, online round table discussion on the topic of catering weekend services.

We invited the following worship pastors/leaders to be part of the panel:

Fred McKinnon (Worship Director/Founder of TheWorshipCommunity.com)
Rich Kirkpatrick (Blogger/Worship Pastor)
Chris Vacher (Director of Worship)
Rob Rash (Blogger/Worship & Creative Arts Pastor)
Troy Kennedy (Worship Pastor)

We discussed topics like:

-Doing secular songs during service (is it okay or is it not okay?)

-Convergence worship vs. separating the styles out into different services

-Designing the service for Christians vs non-Christians

-and more

We intentionally invited leaders with different perspectives in order to help church leaders understand others’ perspectives and also learn from our differences.

Show Notes for October 1, 2009: “Manly Worship” Round Table

AAW-PODCAST-ROUNDTABLE

The topic at hand is “Manly Worship”.  What is “Manly Worship”?  Is there a need for worship songwriters to focus more attention on music that ministers more to men?  Is there a trend in worship music within churches that connects more with the heart of women vs men?  Or is this issue moot and the hearts of men need to be challenged in this area?  Listen in on our first ever Round Table and drop your comments or thoughts:
