“Kurtis Parks is an authentic, passionate Jesus lover. He ‘walks the talk,’ and in Sound Check, he talks about his walk with God with bold transparency. Every leader and believer will find profound insight and inspiration from this book. An easy read filled with hard life lessons that we can all learn from.”

Paul Baloche

“Jesus warned us of practicing our righteousness before men to be seen by them, but rather to passionately pursue intimacy with God when no one is looking. Sound Check will encourage you toward a lifestyle of authentic worship that practices the presence of God, and equip you to lead from a place of genuine delight in Christ. The church needs you to be the same person on and off the platform, and this book will challenge you to be just that.”

Stephen Miller

“This is a really engaging book for people serving in local worship teams. Kurtis speaks from the heart, offering practical and pastoral advice for better developing teams. A great resource for the church!”
