The Interior Life of a Worship Leader | Your Identity Is Not Your Role

If you stopped leading worship tomorrow, who would you be? Not what would you do. Who would you be.That question is harder than it sounds for most worship leaders. And the reason it is hard is that somewhere along the way, the role and the identity got tangled up together. The what you do became the who you are. And when that happens, everything that touches the role starts touching the core of you.In this episode we name the thing that is underneath most worship leader burnout. Not the workload, not the difficult team member, not the pastor relationship. The identity problem. The slow collapse that happens when a person stakes their sense of worth on a role that eventually changes, shrinks, or disappears.We also look at why the church culture accidentally reinforces this, and what it actually means to lead from a place of settled identity rather than performance-based worth.This one is for anyone who has noticed that how Sunday went is doing more work in their sense of self than it should.Formation to Transformation is a worship devotional for people who want worship to be more than a song set.
