Worship Podcast
I’m passionate about raising up leaders.
But if I’m honest, sometimes I hate it. With. A. Passion.
It’s easy to romanticize the thought of sending out leaders. It’s easy to agree with this blog post as you read it.
Yes! Raise up the next generation! Send them out!
Easy to agree with. Painful to live.
If you’ve read my blog at all, you know I’m passionate about discipleship.
I love to raise people up. It thrills me to see young people go from scared, self-doubters to passionate worship leaders. It’s my favorite part of what I do.
What about you?
At the end of your life, will you stand alone with your accolades or will you have others beside you – world changers you’ve discipled?
There’s no better feeling than knowing you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Mission. Vision. Purpose.
Yet how many of us actually feel that way? As I converse with most of my peers, it’s obvious that we are a dissatisfied generation. We have a job but we hate it. We have a paycheck but it’s not enough.
We’re alive and breathing but we’re longing for something different – somewhere better than where we are.
Am I what?
I know, this topic is a bit of a diversion from the usual worship leader fare.
Or is it?
What person on planet earth doesn’t struggle with sexual temptation? Matter of fact, as worship leaders we need to especially guard ourselves in this area.
We’re on a stage. Emotions are high. It’s easy to become emotionally connected to someone who is not your spouse.
After the demands of ministry are over, it’s easy to let our guard down – to look and lust and lie. Nobody’s watching right?
You probably didn’t wake up today, hoping to waste your life.
It’s not likely that being boring, replaceable, and mediocre were on your to-do list.
You care about your influence. But has it become an idol to you?
