At JET Pedals, we love great tone, great gear and great worship songs. But we know that at the core of all that we love about the musical expression of worship are people who pour their souls and passion out on a platform on PURPOSE. This publication is about honoring the people behind the guitars; the passion behind the tones and the soul behind the boards. We are elevating YOU - the worship guitar player - with stories, inspiration and education and joining you on your journey toward greatness.

Resistance is an enemy that hinders creative progress, disguising itself as reason and realism. It opposes forward movement and achievement, as described in Steven Pressfield's book "The War of Art." Resistance targets our unique gifts and aims to kill our potential. It affects musicians, ministers, and creatives daily, manifesting as procrastination, distraction, and self-doubt. Overcoming Resistance is crucial for growth and fulfilling our God-designed destiny. The solution is simple but not easy: sit down and do the work, publish the article, make the call, or practice your instrument. By moving forward despite Resistance, we can achieve great things and live the life we were created for.

My encouragement is to look for and try out gear that best fits your needs, style, and budget. Whether you have an all-analog rig or digital modeler or something in between, whether you play a Gretsch or a Jazzmaster, the best gear is going to the ones that allow you to most excellently serve the songs, the worship team, and the congregation as you lead them in praising and glorifying God.
