There are so many songs now that we can discover on Youtube, from all over the world and across different genres and time periods... do we leave weekly song selection to the individual worship leader, or should a church have a curated selection? Why and how to best pick songs for congregational worship.

Sometimes when you make “space”, the spontaneous singing is buoyed by the congregation, but sometimes it falls flat and no one sings. When do you know to move on or persist? How do you navigate the tension?

1) Candidates - what do you look out for in an audition (or in the hiring process if it's a paid role)?

2) How do you manage / care if you notice a red flag among team members?

How can a pastor flow better together with the worship leader? Especially during ministry time. e.g.: practical tips to communicate better? And how to do it on the spot? 😆

What do you think of worship teams being a 'brand 'instead of a worship team? Singing songs that they are not used to are considered off branding.

Could you share some best practices if one were to combine more traditional liturgy (e.g. Anglican BCP) with more contemporary expressions of worship e.g. songs, art, poetry?

How do you balance between worshipping God and engaging (drawing them into worship) the congregation?

The characteristics of Contemporary Worship Music are more inclined towards the musical language of certain groups (e.g., younger age groups, western music training background). How do we lead the style of worship that cater for more inclusivity in one congregational worship session such as for the elderly or those who have higher sensitivity towards sounds?

Are there people who don't like worshipping in music but prefer more Scripture reading/sermons? How do you cater to this group of people?

what are some helpful tips for integrating different aspects of worship into our song choices (eg. confession, celebration, anticipation, lament)?

If worship is about the heart, can a person worship with music of other religion? And if the lyrics is general, and not pointed at a specific God, is it still right to use that to worship our God? Why not?

In regards to intergenerational worship, how important is basic understanding of the concept of God within worship, and this in relation to children, what exactly ensures children discern between worship in church and just singing songs. In addition to this, how important does their experience or rather, lack of experience of general life experiences, more specifically experiences of suffering and shortcomings, affect their ability to understand and experience the full extend of worship.

What pulse checks do you have in place for members of worship ministry/full time church staff? With regards to safeguarding spirituality and conduct/behaviour on and off stage.

As a worship leader, when an unplanned bad week happens that causes internally breakdown, would you still continue worship leading or hand on the role to someone else since the main idea is to champion the worship
