​I found myself in Worship Ministry by "accident" when I was 16.

​

My youth pastor saw and heard something in me that I didn't even know what a thing, and the rest is history. 

​

Nothing God does is an "accident".

​

🌱 From there, growth and ministry opportunities opened up for me.

​

Whether it was youth services, performance opportunities, weekend worship services, festivals, special events, or worship staff positions, I simply walked forward through most of the doors that opened.

​

🚨 Then about 10 years ago, during my time on the worship staff of a large church in the Charlotte, NC area, I was diagnosed with a partially paralyzed vocal cord...

​

I began vocal rest and vocal therapy, and started to dig in and learn 1) how in the world did this happen 2) how can I do my part to make sure this doesn't happen again

​

🙌🏻 PRAISE THE LORD I made a full recovery.

 

And what I learned through that process showed me what I had been doing wrong, and what to do right in order to sing better AND SAFER for as long as possible. 

​

Again, nothing God does is an "accident"

​

As I healed and learned, I met other Worship Leaders and Worship Singers who were also experiencing vocal cord injuries or voice issues that were keeping them from singing and ministering to their full potential. 

​

The vocal training side of worship ministry just isn't taught or passed down from Worship Leader to Worship Leader. 

​

But we can change that! 💪🏻​

​

Now, part of my mission has become to teach as many Worship Leaders and Worship Singers as I can how to sing better AND safer AND with the long term in mind.

​

Taking care of the gifts that the Lord has given us is an important part of the stewardship He has called us to.

​

Is it difficult at times? Yes ✅

​

Is it hard work? Yes ✅

​

Does it take some practice and commitment to stay diligent and consistent with it? Yes ✅

​

But your voice = His ministry. 

​

Take care of what you can, bring your best, and He will take care of the rest.

💜 NOW IT'S YOUR TURN FRIEND​

I'm committed to bringing my best, and I'm committed to supporting YOU as you work to do the same with your unique voice and ministry!

​

There's a really intriguing verse in the Bible that talks about bringing our "muchness" to God (Deuteronomy 6:5). I love the picture this paints - bringing our talents, our giftedness, our taste, our style, our past, our struggles, our mistakes, our wins, our hopes, every part of us TO HIM to use FOR HIM.

​

Remember: NOTHING GOD DOES IS AN "ACCIDENT"
