Leading praise is more than a perfect performance! It's all about engaging the congregation's heart. If you put on the greatest performance of all time and don't get your congregation to engage, then that's all your performance will be: a performance. Worship is so much more than keeping beat, staying on key, hitting the notes, and perfect execution.To really be clear about what worship is, check out Joe Horness' talk entitled "Back to the Heart of Worship" which was given at the 2005 Willow Arts Conference. It is the clearest presentation on worship is I've ever heard. Joe Horness is a godly man who really loves the Lord, and I believe that you'll get a lot out of this message.
If I can get a hold of a free version, I'll link it here. Meanwhile, it's for sale at the Willow Creek website: Back to the Heart of Worship. If you're a praise leader, you MUST listen to this!
