Had a long call with a friend yesterday about โplatformโ and ministry. A few things came out of that call felt worth sharing:
1. Ministry isnโt supposed to be a platform. Pastoring isnโt a platform. Itโs serving. Itโs shepherding a specific group of people. Itโs foot-washing.
Songwriters, Looking at these CDโs Iโm reminded of the hundreds of songs that DIDNโT make the album. Hundreds that I thought were strong enough to finish and demo โฆ yet they didnโt make the cut. Lesson? Write lots of songs
This 500-year-old prayer has been a great gift to me over the years. When confronted by great suffering and events around me that seem to be spiraling out of control, it is helpful to remember that God's thoughts are not mine, nor are his ways like mine. #EHDiscipleship
There are two kinds of busyness to be mindful of:
a) Regular busyness
b) Religious busyness
Both crowd God out, but the second is more deceptive because we believe our busyness for God is sufficient for our relationship with God.
This album and Darrell Evansโ Let The River Flow album were the two @integritymusic recordings that most influenced me as a young worship leader in the late 90โs. Still leading worship almost 25 years later thanks to guys like you blazing a trail! Grateful ๐๐ผ
