The Congregation Did Not Reject The Song The Introduction Failed

That new song did not fail because it was the wrong song. It failed because nobody in your team was ever taught how to introduce one. And that is not a small distinction. Because if you believe the song was wrong you will pull it and move on. But if you understand that the introduction failed you now have something to fix. And it is fixable. Here is what actually happened on Sunday. Your congregation met a melody they had never heard, with lyrics they had not processed, at a pace that assumed familiarity they did not have. And they did what any group of people does in that situation. They watched. They waited. They stayed quiet. Not because they were disengaged but because nobody gave them a way in. Embedding a new song into a congregation is a skill. It is a team skill, not a solo one. And it follows a process that most worship teams have never been shown. This is the start of a series. Over the next few posts I am walking you through the three week method, the exact process that takes a congregation from staring at the screen to owning the song completely. This is part of what we go deep on at the Altar Call Summit. Join the waitlist at luma.com/f375h0a9.
