Awesome man! don't lose heart and keep God at the center of your band. Like Ed Pagan suggested read up on your scripture. My advice is don't forsake praying with your bandmates. Before and after each session. Pray and ask for inspiration and then make sure you thank him even if the practice was rough and tensions were high that day take a breath and let go and let God he works through the growing pains.
