Can worship from the audience
often some worship leaders or musicians are great on stage…but when they sit out one…they just stand there in the crowd..maybe clap…or just goes outside…or goes to the sound guys…they do everything else but worship…
Preach it, Arny! Good point.
Stay humble, or humble themselves
Yep. God has a tendency to make this happen in my life
I’ve been feeling much more motivated, led, or ??? to be more interactive especially with other local worship leaders to encourage unity within the Church.
Great, great list! Love it!
