I am in AWE of the opportunity placed before me here at Bethel School of Worship. I attended a Music Business class today from 3:30 - 5 PM led by the Director of Bethel Music, Joel Taylor. It was an insanely rich discussion about the business side of producing music. We talked about publishing houses, recording labels, copyrights, and many other topics.
Also, worshipping with a bunch of worshippers/musicians/artists is one of the coolest experiences ever.
THE HARMONIES! I'm just saying ;)
No, but really, after the speaker today (Jeremy Riddle), the whole room just broke out into spontaneous song and reinditions of popular worship songs. It was like heaven's angels. What a blessing and a joy!
I feel like the Lord is directing my steps and feeding and growing me SO much. I feel transformed and we've only just finished the second day. Here's to many more!
Sincerely,
Jessica Meyers

A Dream.
I have my worship playlist playing this morning and am listening as every other song is by an artist who is HERE! I am awestruck.

It makes me realize how important worship is to a believer and how much of an impact a worship leader can have. These people and their songs have literally shaped my walk with the Lord. It puts a whole new weight on worship-leading and song-writing. I feel more personal responsibility as a musician and worship-leader. Other peoples' relationship with the Lord may be impacted by what I write and sing just as I have been affected so deeply by the musicians here.

This is such an incredible opportunity to learn from those who have gone before. To soak in all of their wisdom and experience. I feel so blessed! Please pray for me that God will teach me and mold me to look more like Him.
Have a beautiful day, everyone!
Love,
Jessica
