Is it REALLY Worth It to Be a Church Musician?

It's a musical exodus, but why is it happening? A lot of church musicians are quitting playing on Sundays. They don't see the benefit, or they are frustrated and burned out by the battles and internal struggles of ministry. However, some church musicians have THRIVED while playing every Sunday. What's the difference? In this Creative Checkup excerpt, I (Allen) will share why I remain a church musician while others have decided to step away. We'll examine a video by our good friend John Mike on why he left, and compare that to the reasons that led me to remain active in music ministry.Watch John Mike's original video here Send us a message!Don't Build Your Creator Lifestyle Alone.
