The body of Christ is full of “worship leaders,” who never step on a stage or pick up a guitar, but whose lives constantly point others to the Savior. Your church doesn’t need you to be a dynamic teacher or an amazing hostess. They need you to love God more than anything else in the world.

Music has a powerful way of touching our emotions and articulating things we don’t quite know how to say. Just this morning, I was listening to some praise music while running through my neighborhood. The words of one particular song were simple and true and set to a catchy melody. I found myself singing along while huffing and puffing down the street–words about God’s faithfulness that I needed back when I wondered if we’d survive the church trauma and mass exodus. I appreciate the way simple truths of Scripture can be called to mind in song so that we can praise, pray, and cry out to the Lord.
