Welcome to the worship leader probs podcast, where we aim to entertain, encourage, and equip worship and tech leaders all around the world.

Look, we all know that serving in worship and production is great, but the problems...

Those are real thanks for joining us well hello friends well hello friends this is scott long you're filling in for brian tabor on this special episode of the

worship leader probs podcast episode 104 And here's what we're doing

during the month of December. We're doing just a shorter podcast, maybe 10 to 12 minutes where we're

going to focus on one different aspect of Christmas. Today we're talking about hope. And we

know that this is a busy, busy season. And so our hope is that in this episode that you sense

hope and that you can give hope because it's all about hope, right? So let me tell you what we're

going to do in our time together here. I'm going to share with you some great prayer concerns.

I'm going to give us some tools to help make us more effective in our ministries. I'm going to

share from scripture some thoughts

on hope. But before we do that, let me tell you about our great sponsor, Planning Center.

You know, Planning Center makes software that's designed to help us find freedom to focus on what

really matters in ministry. Planning Center is a set of online software products that you can

subscribe to individually,

or you can use them together as a full church management system. And you can always try any product

for free for 30 days. And Planning Center recently launched a brand new product called publishing.

Now, publishing is a way to create custom pages within the church center mobile app and

their website. And here's what we know about planning center publishing. It's a way for churches

to create their own custom content and share sermons with their congregation through the church

center app and the website, completely free during beta. So try it now, completely free during beta. Listen, I know that this season that we're in

is, it's just unprecedented. I heard somebody say once, you know, 2020 has been especially terrible.
