Worship Podcast
You may not want to speak professionally for a living.
You may not be a senior pastor, a keynote speaker, or a high school physics professor, but at one point or another you will have to teach somebody something.
It’s part of what it means to be human – to pass along what we know to others.
Wouldn’t you like to be the best you can be? Read on.
I remember the time when I wanted to give up. I was finished. Done.
Exhausted, burned out, tired of busting my butt for what appeared to be no reason.
I guess you could say I was wrong. In my exhaustion, God was using me to mentor – to inspire and develop young worship leaders.
When I grasped what was happening, I discovered a passion I never knew existed.
When I heard of Steve Jobs’ death last night, my heart sank.
Not so much because he was a one of a kind innovator.
He was.
Not because he pioneered products that have become an integral part of my life (and the entire world).
He did.
Not because He was a freaking amazing entrepreneur.
Yep, he was that too.
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.
If you are a leader, I’m sure you’re well acquainted the “p” word.
If you’re a worship leader, you’ve probably sung “Blessed Be Your Name”, “Healer”, and “You Never Let Go” a few times.
But it goes deeper. The more you’re involved in ministry, the more you realize a sobering fact.
People are hurting.
People are confused.
People are experiencing tremendous pain.
And they are looking to YOU for help.
