confidence

When we step on stage during church, we really have to ask ourselves, "To whom are we calling attention? Are we actually trying to take God's place in worship?" Those questions alone might help us lead with more confidence and comfort up front.

Selecting just the right key for a song can be tricky, but we have to try. As worship leaders, our chief responsibility is to employ musical elements in order to engage the congregation, helping them connect with the Holy Spirit and worship God. If the congregation can't physically sing a song, it's a non-starter.

I love writing songs! It's challenging in so many ways, but so much fun. As we write songs for the church to sing, let's keep in mind that these songs should be biblical, singable, likable, and diverse. So much to unpack!

Without confidence, communication dies. Without confident communication, who in the world is going to follow you anywhere?

Having confidence isn't a bad thing - it's just a matter of what you have confidence in...
