Worship Podcast
[From David: This is a guest post by Arny Sanchez, who blogs at The Analogous Truth. You can follow him on Twitter here.]
If you’re a worship leader, theology is important. Massively important.
Especially if you want to write worship songs. Without a steady diet of immersion in God’s Word, our songs will easily degrade into self centered memoirs to our own passion.
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.
