Worship Podcast
Worship leaders are more than song leaders.
They are more than entertainers who warm people up before a message. What do great worship leaders do? They:
1. Love Jesus
2. Spend time with Jesus
4. Empower other musicians
5. Accept constructive criticism
6. Don’t take themselves too seriously
We worship leaders know that music is not everything. Creativity is not the goal of our ministry.
But that’s no excuse for being boring. The greatest message deserves our greatest creativity and attention to detail.
These are the books I’m kicking off the year with. I plan to finish them within a few months.
I’ll be the first to admit, worship is easy.
Many of us don’t fear losing our lives for gathering with the church to worship. While that is a tremendous blessing, it can also be our greatest curse.
From David: Today I have the privilege of featuring a guest post by Jon Nicol who blogs over at Worship Team Coach. Jon spent some time in Nashville, learning what it takes to be a professional songwriter. He shares his insights here. Be sure to follow him on Twitter.
After talking about it for 5 years, I finally overcame my fear and started traveling to Nashville to write, network, attend workshops, and just soak up whatever mojo is in the air down there.
I wanted to be a professional songwriter.
