Why Isn’t My Congregation Singing? Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Few things are more deflating for a leader of congregational worship than looking out Sunday after Sunday on people who are distracted, emotionless, or not singing at all. But often the problem lies not in what people are doing, but in what we do as leaders. In this practical episode of Sound Plus Doctrine, David and Bob list 15 ways you might be keeping your church from singing more passionately and meaningfully.

Why God Doesn’t Need Our Worship Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

It’s too easy to approach corporate worship with the idea that God needs our skills, talents, and gifts to be glorified. That perspective can result in anxiety over whether or not our worship will be “good enough.” In this episode of Sound Plus Doctrine David and Bob use Psalm 50 as a guide for discovering that God doesn’t need anything we bring to him. Worship is a gift of grace that we can rejoice in and benefit from every time we gather.

Q&A: Vocal Arranging for Sunday Mornings May 30, 2022

Show notes

For centuries, the church has been conflicted over whether congregations should sing in unison or harmony. Everyone singing melody together is powerful, but harmony can add beauty and interest. In this episode of Sound Plus Doctrine, David Zimmer and Bob Kauflin explore some of the principles that can help vocalists and leaders determine how to arrange vocals on a Sunday morning to build up those they’re leading and enable the word of Christ to dwell in them richly (Colossians 3:16).

How To Be A Good Team Member May 23, 2022

Show notes

Being a vocalist or instrumentalist in the church is a joyful privilege. But it’s easy to forget that. We can slip into laziness, comparison, and other attitudes that disrupt team unity, don’t serve the leader, and ultimately dishonor the Lord. In this episode of Sound Plus Doctrine, David Zimmer and Bob Kauflin talk about ways we can make it a joy for our leaders to lead us!

The Worship Leader and His Family [Part 1] May 16, 2022

Show notes

More than the worship we offer God when we’re in front of people on Sunday mornings, God cares about the worship of our lives. Especially as it’s revealed in our family relationships. In this episode, part 1 of 2, David interviews Bob about his relationship with his wife of 45 years, Julie, and how he has sought to cultivate a Christ-like affection for her, in spite of a less-than-encouraging start to their relationship. Watch Julie’s interview here: https://youtu.be/x5qnvGL59JU

Responding to the Sermon With a Song May 02, 2022

Show notes

While singing a song after the Sunday message is a common practice today, the chosen song doesn’t always deepen the impact of the Word. At other times, leaders forego a song due to running out of time. In this episode, Bob and David discuss how to think more clearly about what kinds of songs we should sing after a message, what they can accomplish, and what they can’t.
