Most ministry leaders admit that they struggle with a consistent time with the Lord. What if you could constantly hear from God? What if you could sense his voice like never before? What if you could start each day with a intimate, deep time with Christ? The solution is easier than you think. With the right system, you can hear from God with great clarity. In this workshop, Pastor Scot Longyear shares the simple system of Life Journaling. Originally developed by Pastor Wayne Cordeiro (New Hope Fellowship, Oahu), Life Journaling is a system of daily scripture reading and writing. Scot will give an overview of the Life Journaling system and lead each person through life journaling from start to finish.

On Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, people, just regular people, get in their cars and drive to a building where they hope, in their heart of hearts, to meet God. They know that music helps to usher them into God's presence but when each Sunday goes by and nothing really happens in their hearts, they think it’s them; the congregation, that are somehow, not getting “it”. Great worship experiences don’t happen by mistake. They happen when certain ideas and concepts are utilized and presented in a way that freedom is brought to a room and people are ushered into the transcendent presence of God. These are big ideas but they are simple and easy to apply once you see them. This workshop will help you see and apply them.

For those who are involved with music and songs for worship, it is very easy to become consumed with the “what" and the “how". But, the “what" and “how" must flow from the all-important “why". If we have a simple, clearly defined and measurable objective - a unifying goal - the what and how become much easier.
