Sometimes that conversation can result in a let\u2019s just wine and complain about how awful it is. But my guests today are not content with that sort of negativity! It will not be tolerated! But here\u2019s the reality: The music industry is built on financial inequality and the worship industry is no different. Those at the top often make a killing, while many musicians and artists struggle to survive. I sat down with @cmcclarney & @thejessephillips from @realfunrecords to talk about it. We\u2019re pulling back the worship industry curtain just a bit to imagine a better way. Well, they are imagining a better way. Many professional musicians you know and love from hit records have no stake in the songs they play on. They essentially get a day rate of $100-$200. Artists have so much money they need to pay back that it\u2019s not sustainable for creativity or a career. Chris & Jesse are forging a new path in a space steeped in \u201cbut we\u2019ve always done it this way\u201d.  Topics Covered: The money problem with the music industry Artist empowerment and what it means Equitable and fair partnerships with musicians Why you should think about writing your own songs The impact of streaming Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Real Fun Records Martin Smith Interview Show Sponsor: Planning Center My goal in this podcast is to help you grow as a worship leader. Of course that includes your formation, but it isn\u2019t limited to that\u2014it\u2019s also with practical tools to help you in your ministry. It\u2019s hard to talk about being a worship leader without mentioning Planning Center. As you know, I\u2019m a huge fan. A lot of you are already using Planning Center Services to schedule your volunteers, plan your worship services, and give your team the tools they need to learn their music. But with Planning Center People, you can stay even more engaged with your volunteers and anyone looking for how to get plugged in. First, some good news: People is completely free with any Planning Center subscription. No, you didn\u2019t hear me wrong\u2014it\u2019s free. Second, some better news: you can use People to add new volunteers to your teams quickly and automatically. In People, you can make forms for anyone interested in volunteering, put them in a step-by-step training workflow, and then automatically add them to Services to schedule them for the right team. And that\u2019s just one way you can use People.
