Songs. We sing a lot of them. We write them. We hear them. We pick them out for every weekend service.
If you’re a worship leader, songs are your currency. You can’t exist without them.
For me, songs are a love/hate relationship. I enjoy them. I like singing them. But when it comes to worship, I feel like we tend to worship them.
Wouldn’t that be interesting if the very vehicle designed to help us worship actually kept us from worshiping?
What does it take to be a great worship leader?
If I polled pastors and worship leaders across the world, I’m sure we’d see a common thread of common skills necessary to fulfill the role with excellence.
We’d talk about heart and passion. We’d talk about vocal ability. We’d discuss musicality and band leadership. We’d talk about leadership – the ability to lead a team, grow a team, and maintain momentum. We may even agree on discipleship – the ability to reproduce other leaders.
But what if there were other disciplines and skills that sustain a worship leader beyond mere leadership savvy and musical talent? What if there was something deeper than just have a “passion for worship” or a “passion for God?”
