Song of the Week
#7 - Never Once
Let me begin by saying, welcome to the new look here at Unmutable! God has been doing a lot in my life recently, and I wanted to reflect that here on the site as well. Speaking of doing a lot, my wife, Ana, and I are less than 10 weeks away from having our first child! If you’ve not heard, it’s a boy! His name is Caden James. We can’t wait.
That leads...

Be Angry....
Before you get all excited about me giving you a Biblical reason to be angry - keep reading….
AND do not sin! Stop and think and be silent” - Ps. 4:4
Anger is something that we all struggle with. The worst thing about anger is that it seems to always come in the worst times - when you were planning on being kind to someone, or especially right after you read your Bible.

A Secret to Marriage
Last week at Gratis Church, we emphasized the importance of being “present” in your family. So being a pastor, I wanted to practice what I preach. So the first thing that came to my mind was “What’s stopping me from being present with my wife?” This question lead me to the discovery of a gold mine…..

Passed
Yesterday, history was made in the world of College Hoops. Duke’s “Coach K” became #1 in wins (903) for men’s Division 1 basketball. You’re probably already thinking “what does this have to do with worship, music or church?” My answer - everything! What Coach K did is extremely impressive, but isn’t the focus of today’s post. I’m...

Song of the Week
#6 - How Great Is Our God
A better title for today’s song should be “song of a generation.” This song, written by Chris Tomlin, has been the most successful song in the modern worship era. In fact, the only other song that rivals it in the past 100 years is “How Great Thou Art” which ironically is frequently paired with “How Great Is Our God.” I think...

Song of the Week
#5 - Courageous
This week’s song choice is a little different from what I would normally choose. It’s more about an idea than a song. What if today, the men inside the church would take a stand and be courageous for their families. Spend more time with their families. Making disciples in the most important place on earth - the home. What if? I believe that this country would...

Song of the Week
#4 - Others
This week’s song is by one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen - Israel Houghton. He is a pioneer for this generation musically and it will take decades to really unpack it all. While known for his fusion of gospel and latin, this song takes a turn from the usual. The song’s simplicity allows the listener to immediately “get it.” He encourages...

Song of the Week
#3 - You Were On The Cross
We are quickly approaching a season full of thanksgiving and gift-giving. As human beings we get really excited about things then move on to the next event or next big thing. Don’t believe me? Then just look at the jump from iPad to iPad 2. We do this a lot as Christians too. At Easter we focus a lot on the cross and resurrection, and at Christmas...

Song of the Week
#2 - Fall Apart
Welcome back! I hope that you enjoyed last week’s post. This week’s song is another heavy hitter (a song that leaves a strong impact on you). You may know Josh Wilson for his well known song I Refuse, but after today you should know him for “Fall Apart” and that he’s an awesome songwriter. This song is great no matter what stages of life that you...

Song of the Week
#1 - How Deep The Father’s Love for Us
Welcome to the first ever Song of the Week! Each Wednesday, you will find either a new song or a song worth revisiting. My goal is to encourage Christians with song, whether you are a Worship Leader or not. I hope that you will take this journey with me, and see where God takes us in discovering new music about Himself!
I’ve been wanting have...

New Look, Same Message
Welcome back to Unmutable!
I hope that you like the new look, which is now a little easier to navigate around and also sports the new logo. It’s been very refreshing taking the summer “off,” but it feels great to be back.
Why Unmutable?
I don’t ever think that I’ve explained the name of this blog. The short version is that I thought of a name for my own...

Moving Faith (A Must-Read Update)
It’s official…..
The Peavy family will be moving back to Georgia this weekend, after our last time of worship with our friends and family at Grace! We are really excited. The reason for our move is that I am taking the role of Worship Pastor at Gratis Church in Monroe.
Over the past few months God has been stirring in our hearts for a new direction in our ministry. Because of the...

How Can I Worship God When......
…Bad Things Happen??
Before we answer that question, think of how great and big God is that even a 1.5 mile tornado pails in comparison to Him! He holds the Universe in His hand, and how small is 1.5 miles compared to galaxies that stretch millions of light-years? The first thing to remember is:
God is bigger than catastrophic events.
When I saw how devastating last night’s storm...

10 Reasons NOT to be a Worship Leader
Definitely not the most popular topic, but it is something that needs to be addressed. Recently, I’ve heard that out of every 10 people that get into full-time ministry only 1 of those 10 stay in ministry. There are multiple factors here, but I think that most of it is because they failed to realized some of the costs.
#10 - Because your mother says that you’re a good singer. ...

Hi My Name is _________, I'm A Recovering Critic
We’re all critics….
Most of us have a favorite TV show, and quickly voice our opinions [like wanting to scream at America for putting Casey in the bottom 3 (last week), or “Trump got it wrong,” or “That QB is terrible!”].
Musicians are taught from day 1 to be critical. We justify it by calling it a “critical ear.” If you go to a music college it...

Why Clint Jun Gamboa Didn't Make A.I. Top 13!
The first time that I heard Clint sing I thought “This guy is really good!” He’s unique, can hit the high screaming notes, and gets it musically. But then he messed up…
Clint didn’t make it because of JC…
No I’m not talking about Jesus Christ. I’m referring to when Clint and his team in Hollywood kicked 15 year old JC to the curb late in the...

30DoW: Generations (Part 2)
When you take a believer and add all of his or her life experiences, abilities, gifts, passions, and spiritual maturity, a worship language is born.
Click here for Part 1: DNA - Worship Language
Have you ever wondered why people complain so much about church? Maybe it’s because they’re just mean. Or maybe there’s a reason for their opinions. Worship languages as described above are affected...

30DoW: Super Monday!
It’s Monday again!
But today is different! Today is Superbowl Monday. I’ve been doing some thinking yesterday and today about everything that goes into the Super Bowl. I’d assume that it’s a billion dollar industry, and I know it’s one of the biggest events every year. Can you imagine paying almost $3 Million for a 30 second commercial? Doritos can! In fact they had multiple of them.

30DoW: DNA, Worship Language (Part 1)
When you take a believer and add all of his or her life experiences, abilities, gifts, passions, and spiritual maturity, a worship language is born.
Every believer has a worship language. Likewise, every church (made up of many believers) has its own worship language. DNA is the perfect example of the variety but consistency of worship languages. The base ingredients are the same, but the way...

30DoW: Heart Test (Part 3)
(Excuse the cheesy picture.)
Part 1: In The Secret (Private Worship)
Part 2: Symphony (Congregational Worship)
Today is a little test to find out where you are on your worship journey. Hopefully, you’ll be able to see if you are a private worshiper, corporate worshiper, or both! This is by no means a comprehensive test to tell you everything about yourself (I’m sure that you can...

30DoW: Worship Is NOT Music
Welcome to the first day of our 30 day journey! As I’ve mentioned before, the 30 Days of Worship will be posted daily at 3pm EST. I think God wants to do something special in all of our lives through this time. Wherever you find yourself on your worship journey, there will be something everyday for you. So enough intro, let’s jump right into it… Worship is NOT music! Even though this...

30 Days of Worship
Over the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about worship. There’s so much in Scripture that talks about worship and we’ve [including myself] have made it primarily about music. But it’s so much more than that!! Starting Jan 30 through the whole month of February, I’ll be posting something on worship everyday at 3:00pm EST. This will add up to 30 posts in 30...

Francis Chan on Asia
Below is a blurb that Francis Chan wrote on his experience in Asia and things that God taught him through that time:
It was a wonderful time of ministry and learning for my family and me. I learned so much from the believers overseas. There is a focus and a seriousness that comes with persecution. I was deeply influenced and encouraged by our brothers and sisters in difficult situations.

Behind The Page
Have you ever felt when you are worshiping God your thoughts, words, heart, feelings, prayers hit a ceiling? I’ve been here many times myself. Being even more transparent, even when I’ve lead others in worship. After reading some Tozer, I believe that I have found a possible answer to this question.
Lack of Salvation. You can have a sincere experience of worshiping...

2011 - Change Me
Well…it’s about that time in which everyone is guilty about all of the bad food they ate from November thru December. And how everyone wants to shed a few pounds, and be more active in January. Of course, I’ve gone thru the same thoughts, but I’ve reached a different outcome than in years previous. I’m not going on a diet (low-carb, south-beach, weight watchers),...

Full
I’ve heard my whole life that you’re either a half-full or half-empty person. I’ve been thinking about this a little recently and I’ve decided that I’m neither. I want to be a glass-full person. Here’s how I see it:
Even if the glass is only filled half way with water, there’s still something that most people forget - the rest is filled with air. ...

Unlimited
I have never seen so many “early” deaths happen in such a short time as I have this past month. Because of them, I’ve been doing a lot more thinking about my purpose and my time. And here’s what God has been teaching me about:
We live in an UNLIMITED world. Think about it; unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited Internet. And that’s just on our phones. We...

Flawless
As worship leaders and as Christians, we hear a lot of about excellence. While it is true that we should strive to be “skillful” and to do the best we can with what God has given us - God does not NEED our excellence. The truth is that we can’t compare to him. So what does God want? Instead of bringing excellence to him as an offering of gratitude, we should be humbled before...

Let Your Yes Be Yes
At some point in our lives we’ve probably had someone ask us to pray for them, or we have asked someone to pray for us. Did we actually pray for them? Did they actually pray for us?
Jesus says “Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’” (Matt 5:37). Let’s apply this to prayer. In my life, I’m sure that I’ve had more than 1,000 prayer...
Between Rests
God’s been teaching me a lot recently about space and silence. It’s okay for there to be quiet moments in our life! Realistically, how much time a day do we spend just sitting in complete silence? I would think that for most of us (excluding sleep) we don’t intentionally choose to be silent on a daily basis.
I struggle with space and silence. As Christians, how can we hear...
