This week, Michael and Sam have a conversation about learning new songs. Many worship leaders find themselves in the role of a band director without training or experience. This episode provides some basic steps to learn a tune so you can teach it to your band, or at the very least, communicate to your band in a more helpful way. Also, the old soapbox makes a short appearance, and this week Michael is full of references to 90's children's movies.
This week, Michael and Sam have a conversation with their Gathering Pastor and fellow worship leader Stephen Smith.

Topics include (but are not limited to): praying for your team, embracing your inner redneck, and whether or not you should pay professional musicians.
