Are you an artist or pastor?
A leader of people or a creator of art?
That’s a tension I live with every day. And I know I’m not alone.
We’ve been talking a lot recently about our presentation as worship leaders. We need to improve our public speaking. Better yet, we should improve our people skills.
I can already hear it:
“But I’m an introvert! I don’t really like being in front of people and I don’t know what to say when I am! Does that mean I can’t be a good worship leader?”
Hardly. Matter of fact, you should use your introversion to your advantage.

I don’t want to sound like a complainer, but the last time you led worship, I was lost.
I wanted to worship, but distractions abounded. I didn’t know what to do.
I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t always love leading worship.
It’s my job. And when something becomes your job, it’s easy to lose your passion for it.

As anyone who works out regularly knows, it’s important to warm-up before getting into a vigorous work-out.
Why? It helps to prime the muscles for optimum performance and to avoid injury. We can apply the same concept to our vocals.
