Worship Podcast
I’m going to be so honest today, it hurts.
Sometimes I wish God made me different. If I just had a better voice, I could be a worship superstar. I look at younger people with amazing voices and become jealous. I tense up on the inside.
If I could just know this person. If I could just have this. If I could just have that.
If I could just be anywhere than where I am right now…
Have you ever wondered if what you do really matters?
Does leading worship make a difference?
All the time you spend crafting your setlist, arranging music, discipling your team, and connecting to the congregation – does it do any good?

More specifically, do you assume that people love music?
I understand you listen to music all the time, understand its intricacies, and get emotionally fired up when you hear it.

Worship leader, it’s not just about your singing.

No, it’s not even the french press coffee, skinny jeans, and passion for obscure, indie post rock music.
Your life is a testimony of worship. You lead by your lifestyle.

I know it can be intimidating to lead worship for opinionated, musically-driven, young people.
But this is a question you must wrestle with.
