Kristen and I are guest bloggers at two of our favorite websites today.
Kristen has written 3 Key Ways To Grow As A Worship Leader at ChristianMusicBlog.com. An excerpt:
“Being faithful to grow as worship leaders and musical servants doesn’t mean we all start in the same place or are expected to make the same progress. We can’t all be Chris Tomlin or Matt Redman. And God doesn’t want us to be! Our God richly and variously entrusts His people with gifts and opportunities which are to be stewarded for His glory.”
Meanwhile, I wrote Recovering The Lost Practice Of Lament in the worship blog at TheGospelCoalition.org. An excerpt:
“Can you imagine that, at your church, in any given service, there might be a marriage or two in trouble? What about someone who has been struggling with sexual temptation in the workplace? Teens who are drifting away from the family and from the faith?”
If you are a worship leader or pastor, we hope you’ll find these articles useful for ministry. And we hope that all of you, regardless of your place in the body of Christ, will find them encouraging.
