If you’ve tried to write in the past and have only found yourself getting frustrated and giving up, this book is for you. Songwriting isn’t just for a select group of people; it’s for anyone who has a desire in their heart to do it. No matter your skill level, you can always improve. And if you’ve never written a song before, there’s no time like the present to start! Songwriting doesn’t just happen. It takes the intentional development of clarity about your goals, skill to develop music and lyrics and diligence to keep at it.

Auditions Toolkit

God loves the off-key singer or musician. He also loves when the congregation can engage together in unity without being distracted, which can be hard to do when you have an off-pitch singer or a drummer who can’t keep time. Having an audition process helps keep a standard of excellence in our public, corporate worship times. This toolkit includes 6 video trainings, a full-color auditions guide, a vision and values guide, and printable audition sheets.

Attention is given both to the validity of the prophetic as well as the practical out-workings of it in the context of your everyday life and worship team.

Empty Rooms ebook

In our performance-driven culture, we have a tendency to want to bypass the day of small beginnings. We want impact and we want it now. At best, we tolerate small beginnings as long as they lead us (preferably quickly) to big stages and meaningful influence. What if we could begin to grasp the fact that the mundane emptiness that we want to leapfrog over is the very season that God is excited about experiencing with us? In Empty Rooms, Justin Rizzo shares how his experiences over 18 years of leading worship gave him a deep desire to live before the eyes of God alone.

I'm Justin Rizzo

Worship leading, music, and creativity have always been huge passions in my life.

I started leading worship at the age of 12 and it was shortly after that when a mentor asked me what my dream was. I told him that I wanted to impact people through music and the creative arts.

So, I set out on that journey.

For over 20 years, I've lived as a full-time artist - songwriting, touring, producing musicals, and making films. I've led over 10,000 hours of LIVE worship and collaborated with artists like Phil Wickham, Matt Maher, Upper Room, Housefires, and Maverick City.

But that's not the whole story.

There has been great pain, fear, setbacks, and insecurity over the years coupled with many breakthroughs.

I know what it feels like to want to press into your worship leader calling but feel overwhelmed with your own weaknesses, insecurity, or loneliness.

After two decades, a ton of prayer, and thousands of hours of trial and error, I have found the pathway forward. I've found the way to overcome these challenges and lead worship with confidence, joy, and longevity. 

This is why I created the Worship Leader Academy.

Maybe like me, you've felt alone on your worship leading journey. Maybe you're confused or struggle to press into what you feel impassioned to do or create.

I believe every person's calling is significant and we all have a responsibility to steward the calling God has given us.

So that's a bit about me. 

How about you? 

I would love to get to know you and go on a journey together and see your life, team, and city transformed as you walk with boldness into all God has called you to. 

This is not just an online training. This is a community. 

I look forward to seeing you inside! 

- Justin
