SERVICE TEAM MINI-SERIES: Practice of Arts (Music)Brayden and Joel continue our mini-series on the Arts Service Team by diving into the practice of music ministry—particularly how preparation and intentionality help music serve the church community.They begin by sharing memories of their favourite live music performances, reflecting on the joy, spontaneity, and relational nature of playing music in real time. Whether it's the energy between bandmates or the connection with a crowd, they explore how God has designed music to be not just emotional and expressive but deeply spiritual and communal.From there, the conversation shifts into the practical rhythms of music ministry at Soul Revival. Brayden shares how intentional preparation—from reading the Bible passage ahead of the service to carefully choosing songs that support the flow of the gathering—helps keep the ministry Word-based and congregational. They explore the delicate balance between excellence and authenticity, affirming that it’s okay to make mistakes when the goal is to serve God and others, not perform.The discussion also touches on recruiting team members using the "3 Cs" (Conviction, Character, Competency) and creating low-pressure environments for young people to grow in ministry. They highlight how Soul Revival’s Shock Absorber approach allows for leadership development without the heavy burden of perfectionism. The episode finishes with a hopeful look at the future of the Arts team and a celebration of those who give their time and talent to build a culture of service and friendship in the church.00:00 Live music energy, starting bands, God's gift of music17:24 Preparation and song selection, intentionality not performance42:02 Recruiting musicians, the 3 Cs, Shock Absorber approach to training58:31 Gratitude and hope for the future of the Arts ministryDISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:VH1 Behind The MusicLed Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused LiveGet Yer Ya Ya's Out, The Rolling StonesLet There Be Rock, AC/DCBrayden's Chip LunchArctic MonkeysU2Paul McCartneyNeil YoungRoger WatersJack WhiteThe White Stripes, Under Blackpool LightsAudioslaveRage Against The MachineLimp BizkitThe DarknessJustin HawkinsThe HivesCONTACT US:📧 Email: [email protected]🌐 Website: shockabsorber.com.au🛍️ Soul Revival Shop🔗 Linktree (everything else)
