They offer the original master recordings of worship songs, from the original artists, for the purposes of building live backing tracks for bands and worship leaders. Playback is their subscription-based iOS app, and it is one of the most powerful apps for worship leaders to use in live settings today (and it continually gets better with regular updates!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1625851020501-Q4YDPGEYKYHVQET60CAE/Loop+Community+logo.jpg Resources Loop Community is another great resource for worship leaders, and is probably the second-best site for multitracks on the internet. They differ a bit from MultiTracks.com, in that they offer tracks made mainly by either their in-house band, or by other worship leaders. Quality can vary, but they also offer their own free app (PRIME) that works very similarly to Playback. They also offer gear specific for worship leaders who want to start running tracks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372470790806-VH18TOTS1EKLWAEMURJ8/resources_pic.jpg Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1625852764993-WV92XGFXO117UAPVCOYZ/FSTS+logo.jpg Resources - Make it stand out Will Doggett, formerly of MultiTracks.com, is probably the one person I have learned the most from (and I have never even met him, personally!). His website, From Studio To Stage, is THE BEST place to learn virtually all of the concepts I use in my worship rig. Will is a certified Ableton Live Trainer, and that is the basis of his setup. The site offers full online courses to learn everything from running tracks, to automating lights and slides with tracks, to even incorporating live keyboards into your worship rig. There is no better source to learn from, period! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1625853599678-IMB75IE8P7OEHTII4NWK/Churchfront+logo.jpg Resources - Make it stand out Churchfront is a great resource, both from their website and on YouTube. Much like Will Doggett, Jake Gosselin and his team offer great advice, tutorials, and gear reviews for the broadest of areas in modern worship ministries. They were of particularly great help during the COVID-19 lockdown, as they provided guidance on how to transition a church to live streaming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1371568153245-1C4XUJ3M9CWTII54JY79/sj_book.jpg Resources SImply Jesus: A New VIsion Of Who He Was, What He Did, And Why He Matters by N. T. Wright I love studying the issues surrounding "the historical Jesus," but the topic can quickly become dense and daunting. Wright's book avoids this, while still remaining powerful and informative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1347999046512-LJTO2NSIFU8PZ0AKAYWD/desiringgod_book.png Resources Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist by John Piper God is most glorified in us only when we are totally satisfied in Him. This is worship in its truest sense. An early classic for me, along with the likes of Louie Giglio and Francis Chan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372352392919-V0JRFCUE78E8MQGQPMUH/resources_logo_new.png Resources https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1347998933090-U02X44VBC725BNXVUWBA/wm_book.jpg Resources Worship Matters: Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God by Bob Kauflin This is the most important book I have ever read as a worship leader, as it covers virtually everything one needs to consider about leading worship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1441841403052-BY709P3G5PS61F40YI1M/knowledgeholy_book.jpg Resources The Tangible Kingdom: Creating Incarnational Community by Hugh Halter & Matt Smay Although this book doesn't reveal anything "groundbreaking" to those in ministry, it asks tough questions and gives great analysis of how the church should respond to today’s culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1347999079383-AWLQPMUOJW7CU5QVBIPZ/bluelikejazz_book.jpg Resources Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller Some may consider this book slightly controversial, but it properly illustrates the interactions (positive and negative) that Christianity has with modern culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1347998989114-8YYRZ6T8FA7W3HLJKYC9/artofcurating_book.jpg Resources The Art of Curating Worship: Reshaping the Role of Worship Leader by Mark Pierson This book considers the implications of intersecting worship with creativity and culture. While I may not agree with every aspect of the author’s theology, this shows the importance of bringing CONTEXT to your worship setting. http://www.michaelhallworship.com/contact daily 0.75 2013-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372465412320-K4FZ32H9KS3GN8RZWYTF/contact_logo_new.png Contact https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1347068063699-23TRQ32JVSQ1QK959QX9/contact_me.jpg Contact http://www.michaelhallworship.com/about daily 0.75 2021-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1371947842967-EMNCUEEFDR5T4RVP1CHT/about_pic.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1371953300923-TGEBGQCSJPVS3CTJPPL0/about_logo_new.png About http://www.michaelhallworship.com/music daily 0.75 2021-07-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372190121533-3OX20TUFJJE070M8G64V/music_logo_new.png Music https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372901891216-2ORWECAL4SXV7NUX540P/music_silde1.png Music https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/503456e724ac5fb46aa4bdd1/1372901914123-Q25Q5EFZGQ9BKVUF7PV0/music_silde2.png Music
