Hey Everybody,

For the next few days I will be posting a new series on the blog called “What Regimen Training Taught Me as a Worship Leader”.  This is the first installment of the series and I hope that it will be helpful to those of you who lead worship in your churches.  The truth is, these leadership aspects are applicable to so many areas of life and should not be restricted to leading worship.

Before we get into the series, I need to setup some background info.

What is “Regimen Training”?

Regimen is an outdoor training program led here on St. Simons Island by Eric Taylor and Matt Morgan.  We’ve met in various places across the island but have been meeting at the Coast Guard Station over the last several months at 6:00 AM on Monday – Thursday.  My goal is to make 2 mornings per week, though I’d like to do more.  This is group training – some would call it boot camp, but not quite.

I’ve been involved in “Regimen” for about 1-1/2 years, off and on.  Unfortunately, there has been more “off” than “on” lately, but I’m trying to get back into it.

Over and over during the last 1-1/2 years I have observed principles that our trainers are using that easily carryover into worship leadership, or leadership of any type.  I’d like to use this series to share them with you … so be sure and come back each day.  If you aren’t a subscriber to the blog, now’s a good time to subscribe – you can receive an email when a new blog is posted, or subscribe via RSS.

Here’s a video clip from one of our recent sessions … as you watch this, I hope you’re asking yourself the question … “what in the world can I learn about worship leadership from THIS?”.  Stay tuned – the answers are coming this week.
