Easter Sunday is one of the biggest moments of the year — but what happens after it’s over?

In this episode of Equipped for Worship, Chuck talks about the very real (and very common) post-Easter crash — the physical, emotional, and spiritual letdown that many worship leaders experience after a big week of ministry.

How do you care for your own heart after pouring so much out? How do you lead your team well when everyone is tired? And how do you keep your church focused on what God is still doing — long after Easter Sunday has passed?

This episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom to help you rest well, shepherd your team, and stay faithful in the ordinary weeks that follow.

Because Easter isn’t the finish line — it’s a reminder that the work of ministry continues.

Easter Sunday is one of the biggest — and most unique — days of the year for worship leaders.

The room is fuller. The energy is higher. And the hearts in the room are…mixed.

In this episode of Equipped for Worship, Chuck talks about what it looks like to lead well when your congregation includes faithful believers, first-time guests, skeptics, and those who may be hearing the gospel clearly for the first time.

How do you lead with clarity and confidence without overwhelming or confusing people? How do you keep the focus on the gospel when expectations are high? And how can you pastor the room — not just lead the music — on one of the most important Sundays of the year?

You’ll also hear practical ways to plan your service, choose songs wisely, and think intentionally about moments like choir cantatas and preaching, all while keeping the message of the resurrection front and center.

If you’re preparing to lead on Easter — or reflecting on how it went — this episode will encourage you to lead faithfully and trust God to work in every heart in the room.

Holy Week is one of the most important — and often most full — weeks of the year for worship leaders.

But how do we move beyond just planning a great Easter service and instead help our churches walk through the entire story of the gospel?

In this episode of Equipped for Worship, Chuck shares how to lead your church through Holy Week with intentionality, clarity, and a shepherd’s heart. From Palm Sunday to the cross to the empty tomb, we talk about how to help your people feel the weight of the gospel story — not just celebrate the ending.

You’ll find practical ideas for planning services, using Scripture and transitions well, and leading your team through a week that can feel both meaningful and overwhelming.

Whether you’re serving in a small church or a growing ministry, this episode will encourage you to lead faithfully and point your people to Jesus in every moment.
