You can nail every chord change and still walk on stage completely empty. In this video I break down the difference between musical preparation and spiritual preparation, why so many worship leaders only train one of them, and the simple practice that changed how I prepare every single week.
If you lead worship, sing on a team, play an instrument on a Sunday, or serve behind the scenes, this video is for you. I share a personal story about learning this lesson the hard way, the real cost of showing up prepared on the outside and empty on the inside, and a 3 minute framework you can start using before your next rehearsal.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO
Why rehearsal time and spiritual preparation are not the same thing
The three questions I ask myself before I lead worship
