One of the qualities of a true minstrel is stability. You can place a minstrel on a team with strong personalities, different opinions, and even volatile people—and instead of adding to the tension, they instinctively look for ways to bring peace. Why? Because a minstrel isn’t just someone who has learned to play well. A minstrel is someone who has learned to surrender well. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” — Matthew 5:9 NLT When your ego is surrendered, you don’t have to win every argument. When your pride is surrendered, you don’t have to prove you’re the best musician in the room. When your preferences are surrendered, you can ask a better question: “What does this team need from me right now?” Sometimes it’s your gift. Sometimes it’s your leadership. Sometimes it’s your restraint. Sometimes it’s simply your peace. A minstrel doesn’t just bring sound into the room—they bring stability. TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Wherever you serve today, don’t just ask, “How can I play well?” Ask, “How can I make this team stronger because I’m here?” That’s minstrelship.

Hey Students! So, in place of our September 14th, Monday night ZOOM I’m going to do a recorded video lesson addressing some of the things you have been asking me for! Feel free to throw in your suggestions and I’ll cover as much as I can 🙏🏾 I’ll have have it up by 5pm in The Minstrel Pathway course! Have a blessed weekend

🎶 Good morning, Music Ministers! As you get ready to serve today, remember: you don’t have to be perfect to be effective—you just have to be present, prepared, and available. Every chord you play, every note you sing, every transition you help carry is serving a bigger purpose. Somebody walking into church today needs an encounter with God, and we get to help create the atmosphere where that can happen. So play with excellence. Serve with humility. Stay sensitive to the moment. And most importantly—enjoy the privilege of serving God and His people. Go have an AMAZING Sunday! 🔥🎹🙌 We get to do this!
