I’ve been having numerous conversations surrounding the future of worship music.
What will Sunday morning look like in 20-30 years?
This is a guest post by Ryan Gordon of Creative Worshiper.
Every leader carries a significant amount of responsibility on their shoulders.
There is pressure to meet tight deadlines and successfully deliver on projects. Leaders provide direction and vision for those they lead. They push boundaries and always look at how current processes can be improved.
While church leaders are busy managing that list of responsibilities, they are also charged with the task of loving and shepherding their church.
Some say the most important responsibility of pastors and leaders is to serve those they are over.
But I disagree.
Older worship leader, they don’t hate you. They just have a hard time with your music.
I know it can be intimidating to lead worship for opinionated, musically-driven, young people.
But this is a question you must wrestle with.
New songs.
If you lead worship, you’re always on the lookout for that next “worship hit” that will work with your congregation.
But new songs can be tricky.
They need to be introduced well. Sometimes a great song misses the mark because it wasn’t set up properly. Or because the rest of the worship set was too unfamiliar for people to engage.
Fear.
We fear…and we fear…and we fear.
It’s what keeps many of us from doing what we should be doing. It’s what paralyzes us from going into all the world and making disciples.
It’s what cripples us from creating art and initiating change that matters.
