This is exactly what I needed to hear in relation to where I am at as a growing worship leader. Thanks so much.

You can never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever go wrong with Scripture. Ever.

Kudos for that reminder. I think we can tend to overcomplicate things. A lot.

I’m enjoying reading this blog. Although I’m in Phoenix now, I’m originally from Monroe…lived in Matthews/Indian Trail area for a long time as well. So pumped to see what Elevation is doing in and around that area of NC. God bless you guys!

this is something I have been struggling with lately and I think this was a reaffirmation of my questioning of how I should be leading. Our church likes to have every detail planned out but it is some of those “spontaneous” moments that God truly speaks to people’s hearts – music is just a backdrop for the words or lyrics that are spoken. I feel like I have gotten into the “routine” of church and this would be a change and refreshment.

This is will definitely be a challenge for me to be able to pray and prepare for our services for if and when things should be said.

Thanks for the challenge!

Great thoughts. I talk with lots of artists who use their spontaneity and “quick on your feet” attitude as an excuse to not do the prep work of thinking through introductions and transitions. If the Holy Spirit can be guiding us through each moment of the service as we’re leading, why can the Holy Spirit not be guiding us days or weeks in advance for what we should be saying in those moments?

Thanks for the encouragement. This is something artists need to be reminded of!

So convicting! So Encouraging. Thanks guys! We try the same and find as you said, the Holy Spirit blesses the prep just as much as the actual moment in worship. Bless you!!!
