Worship Podcast & Blog
In this post I wanted to highlight 7 apps that I use on a continual basis as a worship pastor. There is some overlap between posts, but here I’d like to highlight why and how I use it in a worship ministry context.
Do you remember why you started leading worship? What gave you the desire to stand before people and lead them into the presence of God?
As I sit here this morning, I’m reminded of my own journey. I felt called. Not sure exactly what that means but I can tell you the moment my life’s trajectory changed was during worship. I don’t remember the sermon that night. I remember God reaching out to me in a moment of intense revelation.
I remember telling myself then, “I want to do that for the rest of my life. I want to lead people to know this amazing God.” Nothing is more worth my time and investment than pursuing Jesus and seeing people transformed in His presence. Nothing.
If you’re discouraged today, remember where you began. Revisit the feelings. Remember the word from God. Relive that “all-or-nothing” mentality. God is using you for a special purpose, even though you may feel lost in a sea of the same, week in and week out.
Don’t become so professional that you don’t pray. Don’t become so skilled that you don’t sing with tears. Don’t become so focused that you forget the Gospel and where God has brought you. Ministry rises and falls on that.
I’m praying for you today. And believing God that the best years of worship leading are ahead.
QUESTION: what do you do when you feel discouraged? What inspires you and focuses your heart?
