Worship Leader Blog

I was wiped out last night after the worship concert with Jonathan Lee, Laura Story and Chris Tomlin--an amazing time of worship. So I'll try to get caught up a bit today.

The highlight of the day yesterday was Louie Giglio's talk in the afternoon, in which he simply encouraged us to "focus on Jesus" in our worship leading. Seems obvious, but the truth is that most of us focus on our work--our songs, our band, our appearance, the people we're leading, etc. Laura Story said essentially the same thing, admitting that sometimes when leading worship she's really working, not worshiping. I can definitely relate--it was good for me to hear that stuff.

I attended a great session about storytelling through video in which we learned the basic elements of every great story and how they resonate with the human heart because God designed us that way--the Gospel is that story.

Gotta run now, Day 4 has begun!
