As worship leaders our first priority is to worship God and bring him glory, but like the book said, that is only half of our title. We are called to be worship LEADERS setting a tone and example for all of the people we are leading. Talking to your congregation in a loving, caring manner will keep them much more engaged then nagging them to be alert and awake. It may be frustrating at times when they don't respond the way we want. But who is the worship really for? Not the team, but God. We need to learn to be patient, knowing God has called us to lead a congregation and be blessed only by that.
I think this chapter is so relative to our team. The student body may not respond the way we would like at times, but we need to remember God is working on everyone's hearts in different places. Encouragement and relentlessness are keys to creating a safe worship environment for all to join in.
