I really like what Kraeuter says in this chapter because I have definitely seen conflicts where a worship leader's pride gets in the way because they are not spiritually mature. I have to admit that I have had this problem before when I focus too much on the music and my pride as a musician. It's a process to become spiritually mature and I'm still working on it. I think it's a process for every worship leader and that no worship leader becomes spiritually mature overnight. I hope to continue growing in my maturity so that I can be a better worship leader.

Chapter 8: Spiritual Maturity
Kraeuter main point in this chapter is that worship leaders need to be spiritually mature. It's not enough for them just to be good musicians. Many times the best musicians don't do well as worship leaders. One quote I like is when Kraeuter says, "The responsibility falls on the worship leader to be a solid, mature Christian who knows God and knows His Word." Though musicianship is important, spiritual maturity is more important.

I agree with what you said. Spiritual maturity is very important, yet sometimes lacked by worship leaders. It is a long process to gain spiritual maturity. I respect how you strive to keep growing in your spiritual maturity.
ReplyDeleteI really like your language and use of diction to depict your ideas on spiritual maturity. I like how you talked about what exactly Kraeuter said and used quotations to boost your message. Your idea of how pride ruins us was really inspiring and i really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI liked that you are so honest about your struggles with pride. I think most worship leaders eventually struggle pride, but I love that you were honest about working on not letting pride get in the way of your worship. Like you said, it is a process and it won't happen overnight. I love your heart Naomi and I have loved seeing you become such a confidence and wise worship leader over these past two years!
