Emotionally Healthy Worship Leaders

As I look back on the people who had the most influence on my life, it was because of their vulnerability. They were willing to open up their life in a way that helped me see inside my own. Sure, they had a strong relationship with Jesus. But they didn’t just talk about it. They understood grace. They lived through eyes of compassion. They were emotionally healthy worship leaders.

It’s one thing to be talented. It’s another to have a long list of skills. But it’s another level of influence to be emotionally healthy.

Emotionally Healthy Worship Leaders

Emotionally healthy worship leaders know how to be vulnerable because they know who they are. They don’t look to people for affirmation or approval because they are secure in what God says about them.

This has a lot of implications for worship ministry. Because a successful worship pastor isn’t just talented and knowledgable. If you’re considering another level of influence, it might be time to open up your life a bit.

Because emotionally healthy worship pastors:

• Give others a chance.
• Focus their time on equipping, not just doing.
• Love the voice of the church over their own.
• Don’t talk about themselves.
• Smile.
• Draw attention to the team.
• Lead others who are better themselves.
• Are more impressed with God than themselves.
• Listen.
