Course Overview
For the past 25 years, Brian and Jenn have been leading the charge for all things worship at Bethel Church in Redding, California. Since that time, they have founded a label, developed teams, raised a family, and worked through the ups and downs of life in ministry. All of these experiences together are what created the framework for the course, “Through The Years”.
In this course, we peel back the curtain and get an inside look into Brian and Jenn’s life in ministry, and pick up multiple beautiful lessons along the way of what it looks like to walk with Jesus and lead well.
So much of what we learn in life and ministry is caught rather than taught. Throughout the different lessons in this course, story after story from Brian and Jenn’s last 25 years is full of opportunities to catch wisdom that help to lead worship, write songs, and lead people well in ministry.

Hey [Pastor Name],
Here’s what I found: Self-Paced Courses Example: “Worship Guitar Essentials” breaks down chords,
How we’d use it: Assign the module to our guitarists; they can finish it before next rehearsal and come ready to play.
Song Tutorials Example: Their library has dozens of popular worship songs with on-screen chord charts play-along tracks and downloadable PDF charts.
How we’d use it: Anyone can learn a new song on their own time—no more scrambling to swap parts on Sunday.
Quick Skill Boosters Example: 3–5 minute videos like “Thumb vs. Fingerpicking” “Three Tips for Stronger Harmonies” or “Stage Presence 101.”
How we’d use it: Team members can grab a coffee and knock out a tip video between services.
