Lead worship from the overflow—not from the edge of burnout. Hearts Before Harmonies is a year-long guide for every musician, tech, or vocalist who steps onto (or mixes behind) the platform. Written in the months leading up to a new Worship Pastor’s transition, each entry invites teams to drink deeply from Scripture before they ever check a mic. 52 week-by-week devotionals built around a single passage, a narrative-style reflection, discussion prompts, and a closing prayer. - 9 special-day editions —Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Palm Sunday, Memorial Day, New Year’s, and your church’s anniversary—pre-slotted for 2026 yet easily moved to any calendar. - Story-driven theology that keeps artistry tethered to awe, turning rehearsals into discipleship moments and Sunday sets into overflow. - Plug-and-play flexibility —use the calendar as printed or drop entries into any week your ministry needs them. - Built-in leadership tools that help you model the maxim, “We cannot take the people where we have not been ourselves.” Whether you’re a multi-campus music director, a three-piece acoustic leader, or a front-of-house volunteer, this book will help you: Ground private devotion upstream of public leadership. - Shape rehearsal culture marked by confession, joy, and Spirit-lit excellence. - See every cable, chord, and cue as incense offered to Christ. Step into the year. Let grace reshape Monday mornings, Thursday run-throughs, and every hallelujah in between.
