“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15
Rehearsal Preparation
Purpose
Preparation honors God, respects others’ time, and ensures that every rehearsal begins with focus and peace. It’s not just about learning lines or songs — it’s about bringing a ready heart, clear mind, and servant attitude to the work of ministry.
Core Principles
- Spiritual Readiness - Pray before arriving; remember who and why you serve.
- Mental Focus - Review material beforehand so rehearsal can be about refinement, not discovery.
- Physical Discipline - Rest well, hydrate, and arrive early to set up and settle in.
- Team Respect - Being prepared helps the entire team rehearse efficiently.
- Consistency - Preparation builds trust; unpreparedness erodes it.
Best Practices
- Arrive Early - Aim to be ready 10-15 minutes before start time.
- Review Material - Know your lines, cues, lyrics, or tech notes.
- Check Equipment - Ensure microphones, scripts, and props are in place.
- Pray and Focus - Quietly center yourself before rehearsal begins.
- Bring Supplies - Notebook, water, pencil, and personal Bible or script copy.
- Stay Flexible - Be ready for adjustments, rewrites, or new direction.
