Here goes. After 2 months of working on it like a crazy person, WorshipTeamAI is live. Worship has had its firm grip on me way before I knew what it was. For the longest time I thought maybe the worship industry would be where my calling would lead me.
That isn’t the case. So far.
I have very distinct and unexplainable series of events at various points in my life that cannot be random. I was always thankful and directed all of my gratitude to God who has been faithful in my life.
I remember, in 2003, in a Lufthasa 747 from Madras to Frankfurt, on my way to Atlanta. I opened up my Bible and read Hebrews 11:8.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8
Sure it felt good. Yay, great things coming my way. No complaints here. Only joyful receiving.
Our first born was named after God’s faithfulness. And I can point to series of events, at the right time, that is 100% God. Even the most cynical would agree that at the least, it’s weird.
During those times, I was the joyful receiver. Thank you, Father. Thank You!
Recently, again, at the right time, an insane series of events happened and I was blown away. I was brought to my knees. This time however, my first response was “Why have You blessed me?”
It’s a strange question. But things were just a bit too “freaky”. And I really could not understand how it worked. How it worked. And why it worked for me.
I realise a lot of people, even I at times, plenty of times, have cried out to God with “why has x bad thing happened”. At least for me, I’ve never cried out with a “why has x good thing happened”. I just thankfully accepted it and enjoyed it.
It was this question of “why have You blessed me” that helped me decide to dive in merge passion with passionate calling and do something.
My initial response to “why have You blessed me” was “I will not squander this blessing”.
Whether or not that’s the right response or not, I don’t know, but it was the first. And I do think that I’ve been blessed quite a bit, I was sort of apathetic with the blessing. This time, I was intent on taking the silver and investing it instead of hiding it.
So over the last 2 months or so, I’ve spent easily 14-16 hours a day working on WorshipTeamAI. Over this time, I’d checkin daily – is this what I’m supposed to be doing? Help me do it. Help me be productive. I haven’t heard “No”.
What is WorshipTeamAI?
WorshipTeamAI is a community and a platform, with AI infused at the right moments to help the worship community, leaders, and teams.
My goal is twofold. Bring the worship teams together to share thoughts, learn from each other, see what each church is playing and all of this is the community side of it. But, WTAI is also a stellar practice app.
When you login to WorshipTeamAI you can create your church, invite as many team members as you wish – no extra cost, create set lists, and get AI intel about your set list. When you are not practicing, you can interact with worship teams from across the world.
Here’s a better break down
Worship leaders
- Create your church
- Invite unlimited members without a pay-per-seat
- Build set lists quickly with AI automation
- Get feedback on your set list
- Connect with Planning Center
- Missing a team member? Access the talent pool of vetted Christian musicians near you. Fill spots immediately.
- Alternatively, share temporary one-off, part time, or full time roles.
- Automate your emails at exactly the time you want them to go out
- Automate “Thank You” emails. Take care of your team.
Non worship leaders
- Personal accounts can also use the set list app. You don’t have to be invited by a Church to their team.
- Create a profile, select your instruments, upload videos, share your rig
- Hop over the Feed to share your thoughts on upcoming Sunday or anything else
- Follow other leaders or worship leaders you love
The words I got from a friend is that WorshipTeam connects the trans local church. It’s like a Nextdoor for worship teams where worship teams can also practice.
I’ve been heads down in development mode and I’ve yet to work out the pitch. This is possibly the firs time I’ve attempted to define it.
So, if you are in a worship team – musician or front of house, head over to https://www.worshipteam.ai/ and create your free account and join the worship community and try the practice app. The practice app as version 1 is miles ahead of some of the big players in the industry. And I have big plans to make it the best.
As a musician, I’m building the app I wished I had. I hope you will like it to.
