Music and worship are definitely created by God and intended to bring people to the throne of God, the very feet of Jesus. However, even though our motion and action seem to lead us into worship, we sometimes find ourselves having less than the desired impact in our churches. Regardless of the quality of music, the excellence of preparation, and the available gifts of our musicians, we sometimes fall short of the final and most powerful element of life-changing worship – the power of the Holy Spirit.

The anointing of God is the one element in worship we cannot do without. We may be able to survive with less than quality instruments, or slides rather than power point. We may experience a wonderful morning with a well-prepared worship team and our best soloist. On the other hand, having studio musicians and hired technical crews doesn’t necessarily mean that the power of the Holy Spirit is definitely going to be present either.

However, the purest experience in worship occurs when God sees our passion, our heart, our intent and our motivation, and pours His anointing, His Spirit into everything we say and sing. When important elements in the preparation, attitude and leading of worship are truly aligned with the passion and heart of God, it seems the power and anointing of God is endless in a service.

What are the signs that perhaps all our preparation and hard work may miss the anointing and blessing of God as a worship ministry or in a worship service?

  • Members are RELATIVELY committed to rehearsals.

  • Performance takes precedence over MESSAGE.

  • Music is prepared and presented short of EXCELLENT.

  • Directors are seen as teachers more than EQUIPPERS.

  • Corporately supportive, but privately CRITICAL.

  • CONDITIONAL offering of gifts and talents.

  • Leading worship without personally WORSHIPING.

  • Portraying a leader of worship without LEADERSHIP activity.

  • Worship is seen as an activity over a RESPONSE.

The Call of a Tile Mover is a 1,2, or 3 day retreat for anyone involved in the preparation and leadership of worship. The format is organized around an acronym for the word ANOINT:

  • Allow a unified message/vision to define us.

  • Navigate through music in spirit and truth – excellence.

  • Offer freedom of expression to the leader/director.

  • Invest Spiritual Gifts in the worship ministry.

  • Never sing/play to an audience, help them listen instead.

  • Target a heart for aligned ministry.

If you’ve ever packed for a week’s vacation, only to arrive at your destination to find out the weather was nothing like what you had planned for, than you will relate to this experience. Seasons of a Son is a (3) – session Father/Mentor & Son experience designed to visit the (4) transition periods of any man, any son. It’s nothing more than simply, through God’s Word, preparing a man for the next season of his life, and understanding the current reality where he is living.

Even more, it is a glimpse into the seasons of becoming a man and existing as a man and how they are coordinated and created by God to mirror the seasons of our relationship with Him.

Like packing the wrong clothes for a week’s weather, we can sometimes find ourselves trying to exist in one season of our relationship with a son or dad, only to find out that one of us has changed, has transitioned onto a different season. Without being aware of these seasons and their purpose through Christ, we can alienate one another, if not exasperate each other unless we can identify that a change has occurred.

This weekend workshop is designed to offer dads and sons the opportunity to identify what season they might be existing in currently, and prepare for the season to come, regardless of their ages.

These (4) seasons are defined as follows:

  1. The HERO Season

  2. The ABRASION AND RELEASE Season

  3. The INDEPENDENCE Season

  4. The FRIENDSHIP Season
