Worship Podcast
What are we aiming for when it comes to leading worship? What is success?
Man, that was a great night of worship!
That was such an awesome song!
The band was totally killer tonight!
You are such a great worship leader!
If I were completely honest, I’m usually satisfied if the band does well, I sound good, and I receive compliments about my talent.
But that is not enough.
I’ve talked a lot on this blog about having a vision and submitting to your lead pastor and executing a discipleship strategy.
But too often these great ideas remain just that – ideas. We think about them, pray about them, even write them down. But we don’t actually do them.
1. What does my congregation need most?
2. Am I contributing to the pastoral team or doing my own thing?
3. Do those closest to me feel closest to me?
On a scale of 1-10, how much of a failure are you?
1 = Beyond awesome and perfectly flawless
5 = I experience both failure and success
10 = I suck at life. All. The. Time.
Most of us would probably put ourselves in the middle. We don’t like to (or want to) fail, but it happens. We also experience success.
You see, there’s this thing about failure. We fear it more than anything. It cripples us to consider it. It knocks the wind out of us to even imagine it happening.
You’ve got to rid yourself of that fear.
Have dreams to release an indie record?
Do you have what it takes to get it done?
Today we have the privilege of hearing from a new friend of mine, Matthew Reed. Matt has recently released an indie worship record on his own.
I thought it would be beneficial to hear how he did it.
