Worship Podcast
If there’s anything I know about you, it’s that you want to change the world.
You probably didn’t wake up saying, “How can I live the most mediocre life possible?”
You want to make a difference, pour your life into a cause, and leave your mark upon the world.
The problem is that most of us never do.
Today’s post is a unique post for my blog. Typically, I gear all of my writings towards worship leaders, musicians, creatives, and church leaders. But yesterday my son was born. And as I reflected on this day – one of the most significant I have ever experienced – this is what overflowed from my heart. May it be an encouragement and a challenge to live your life fully – for what truly matters.
Tyler David,
July 10, 2012 was a day my life flashed before my eyes. A day I reflected on the last 27 years of my existence.
To see you enter the world floods my heart with joy, expectancy, and fear.
But this I know, my son – you are going to change the world.
Not all worship leaders are the same. And I’m wondering if that is OK.
Some of you will never write worship songs.
Some of you will never go on tour.
Some of you will never pursue mastery in an artistic sense.
The question becomes: is that necessary for success as a worship leader?
You know the cliches. You read the books. You bought the T-shirt.
But how does that translate into worship leading? How do you move from merely singing a setlist to leading in worship?
Dear exhausted worship leader,
Who is struggling to keep your head above water…
Who is rarely appreciated for what you do…
Breathe.
Believe you stand as a child of the King.
You are accepted, loved, forgiven, and perfect.
If you failed every day for the rest of your life, you would be a success because God has chosen you.
