Worship Leader Interior Life | You Can Lead a Room Into Encounter While Running on Empty

This is the start of something different.You can become very good at producing an experience for other people while your own interior life is quietly running on empty. You can lead a room into genuine encounter with God while privately wondering when the last time was that you had one yourself. You can preach formation and be skipping it. You can sing about surrender and be white knuckling everything.And the dangerous part is that nobody can tell.That's what this season is about. Not craft. Not song selection or team culture or how to run a better rehearsal. This is a series about what is happening underneath the role. The interior life of a worship leader. The gap between the platform and the private life. Identity and what happens when it gets too attached to whether Sunday went well. Comparison. Burnout. The isolation that comes with always being the one people bring things to and rarely the one people bring things toward.Most of us are carrying this alone because the nature of the position makes it hard to admit you are struggling. You are supposed to have it together. The room is looking at you. And over time you have learned to give the room what it needs regardless of what is true inside you.This series is for worship leaders, worship team members, church creatives, producers, and anyone who serves in a role that asks them to give something of themselves week after week. Formation is not something you lead people into. It is something you have to keep living yourself.Formation to Transformation | A Worship Devotional.
