🎤 Whose throne are we actually building?

In a culture obsessed with platforms, influence, followers, and personal branding, worship leaders face a critical question:

Are we building a throne for God—or for ourselves?

In this newest article, Worship Pastor Brian Shaw explores how the spirit of self-promotion can subtly creep into worship ministry and challenges us to return to the heart of worship: humility, surrender, and exalting Christ above all else.

"As worshippers, we are supposed to be building a throne of praise for God to dwell on. But whose throne are we actually building: God's or our own?"

This thought-provoking read will encourage worship leaders, pastors, musicians, and ministry teams to examine their motivations and refocus on the One who alone is worthy of glory.

More details to come—but for now, mark your calendar. You won’t want to miss it.

Today, on the National Day of Prayer, we pause to remember that worship and prayer have always been deeply connected. 🎶🙏

As worship leaders, we don’t simply lead songs—we help create space for hearts to encounter the presence of God.

Today we pray for:
• Our churches and pastors
• Our communities and families
• A fresh move of the Holy Spirit
• Healing, unity, and revival across our nation

May our worship never lose its foundation in prayer. May our platforms remain surrendered.

And may our churches become houses marked by both His presence and His power. 🙌🏼

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10

Let’s lead with humility.
Let’s worship with expectation.
Let’s pray with bold faith.

What if revival didn’t end when the service did?

Last week we unpacked a powerful truth:

Revival was never meant to be an event—it was meant to become culture.
✔ Not built on personalities
✔ Not sustained by hype
✔ Not dependent on atmosphere

But rooted in:
• Daily devotion
• Deep repentance
• The Word + the Spirit
• A life centered on Jesus

We are still living in the overflow of Pentecost.
The Holy Spirit hasn’t left—He abides.

So the question isn’t “When is the next revival?”
It’s… are we living revived now?

If you missed it, take a moment to read and reflect this week.

We remind our souls:
✨God is faithful.
✨God is present.
✨God is worthy.

Let’s worship. 🙌

Healthy worship ministries don’t happen by accident—they are built with intentional growth.

If your team is ready to go deeper, consider taking one of the MultiTracks training courses together. These resources are designed to strengthen musicianship, unity, and confidence on your platform.

When your team grows together, it changes everything—from rehearsal to the worship moment itself.

Investing in your team is investing in your church.

Stronger teams help lead more meaningful worship.

Revival isn’t something we schedule… it’s something we steward.🔥

Too often, we’ve reduced revival to a moment— a service, a speaker, a surge of emotion.

But true revival is deeper.

It is the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit — transforming hearts, restoring devotion, and building a culture that lasts.

We’re not chasing visitation… we’re learning to live from habitation.

📖 “I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…” — Acts 2

This week, Global Worship Initiative board member and Pastor Javaris Wright challenges us to rethink revival— not as hype, but as a sustained move of God rooted in Christ, repentance, and everyday faithfulness.
