episode of the Voices In My Head Podcast was recorded live at the
Empower the Church conference in Lima Ohio on Saturday October 24th,
2015. This workshop on spiritual formation deals with the following:
Leading worship requires just as much practice as playing an
instrument, learning to sing, and writing music does. This goes not only
for the worship leader, but it also applies to the other singers and
musicians on your team. In order to do our calling well, it requires
practice. As the leader of a worship team in a church I have found that
one of my most challenging tasks is not just teaching the congregation
to worship, but teaching our musicians to worship. This workshop will
focus on the practice of intentional spiritual growth in your praise
band members as a regular part of your practice times. Practicing the
presence of God together is as essential as practicing your music
together. @RickLeeJames

David Morrell and Sylvester Stallone on the set of First BloodThis week on the Voices In My Head Podcast our special guest isNew York Times Bestselling Author, David Morrell.About David Morrell:In 1972, David Morrell published his debut novel about a veteran with PTSD who returned home from the Vietnam war, bringing the war home with him. The name of this groundbreaking novel is First Blood. It was called “the father of the modern action novel,” and was widely and enthusiastically reviewed. It was also taught in high schools and colleges. It became a 1982 film, starring Sylvester Stallone, and led to a series of films about Rambo, who joined the ranks of the top five internationally recognized thriller icons: Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, James Bond, and Harry Potter. In addition to being Rambo's creator, David Morrell also holds a Ph. D. in American literature from Penn State and was a professor in the English department at the University of Iowa where he taught from 1970 to 1986. His numerous New York Times bestsellers include the classic spy novel, The Brotherhood of the Rose, The Fraternity of the Stone, and The League of Night and Fog. Eventually wearying of two professions, Morrell gave up his academic tenure in order to write full time. Shortly after, tragedy struck theMorrell family, as David's fifteen-year-old son Matthew was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and died in 1987, a loss that haunts not only Morrell’s life but his work, as in his memoir about Matthew, Fireflies, and his novel Desperate Measures, whose main character lost a son.In 2007 after 40 years of novels, honors, and awards David Morrell was able to add comic book writer to his resume, writing the acclaimed mini-series turned Graphic Novel, Captain America: The Chosen. Since then he has also written stories for The Amazing Spider-Man as well as the Savage Wolverine. Find out even more about David Morrell on his official web site at www.DavidMorrell.net
