By the closing night (Thursday) I felt so recharged and ready to lead worship on Sunday. That Sunday was by far, the most worshipful and God-encountering worship service we have had at our church so far. God truly used the conference to bring himself honor and praise.<\/p>\n\n<p>Over the next few weeks, I will be posting on many of the things I learned in an attempt to help the few of you who read this blog to help your congregations draw nearer and nearer to God.<\/p>\n\n<p>Here are the sessions I attended:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n    <li><strong>Creating Flow in Worship: Leading a Journey<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Paul Baloche<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Theology of Expressive Worship \u00e2\u20ac\u201c <\/strong>Ross Parsley<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Licks, Tricks &amp; Cheats for the Acoustic Guitarist<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Andy Chamberlain<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Rehearsing Your Team<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Tony Guerrero<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Creating a Culture of Worship<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Buddy Owens<\/li>\n    <li><strong>Building Worship Teams for Small Churches<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c John Chisum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>The two sessions I found most useful were: Creating Flow with Paul Baloche and Creating a Culture of Worship with Buddy Owens. They really changed the way I approached leading worship and choosing songs. I am excited to share what I learned in the next few posts.<\/p>\n\n<p>Below is a picture of the closing night with Israel Houghton.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worshippinginthewilderness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/image-232.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px\" title=\"Israel Houghton leading worship at NWLC 2008\" src=\"http:\/\/www.worshippinginthewilderness.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/image-232-thumb.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Israel Houghton leading worship at NWLC 2008\" width=\"324\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>God bless you and His church!<\/p>\n\n<p>-Chris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I attended the National Worship Leader Conference here in Austin, TX.
