My deep love for all things nature drew me to go tubing down a river yesterday. Proud to say we conquered anaconda, bugs and water moccasins and lived to tell about it. But seriously, had a really fun time. [📷 @pbreedlove]

I used to feel so much pressure with leading my team. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I constantly felt like I didn’t know enough, was being judged, or was letting them down in some way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of this was my own insecurity, but part of it was because I wasn’t good at getting my team to open up and share. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few tips that will help you facilitate better communication with your team. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Tell them that you value their opinions. You want your team to be able to share honestly about songs, arrangements, general team health, etc. But you have to communicate this (more than once) and set it as a clear expectation. As you ask for their opinions, they’ll begin to feel you trust them, which will make them trust you more and begin to share honestly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Coach the more talkative members on how to draw out the quieter ones. There are people that have absolutely no problem consistently sharing their opinions with you and the rest of the team. These people are a huge strength to your team (Seriously, be thankful for them!) and can be some of the most helpful people on your worship team. But pastoring these people, including instructing them in how to defer and draw out the quieter members at times to ensure everyone has a chance to speak is key. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Inquire (privately) with quieter members to see if there’s anything preventing them from sharing. Some people don’t know how to communicate or have had bad experiences before in group settings. Maybe they're worried that they’ll offend someone or be rejected. Or maybe they're concerned that you as a leader will shut them down. Sometimes they think they’re not skilled enough, or that their opinions don’t matter. As the worship leader, consistently encourage them that every opinion counts and you want to hear theirs.

Beautiful night with family.

David was a weak man. He messed up a lot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But one of David’s primary strengths was that he never quit. He is one of our greatest role models of perseverance.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When everything is telling you to quit, don’t. Cling to what God says over you, the truths in His word, and the promises that have been spoken over your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remind yourself that He who began is faithful and will finish the work He started in you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much we can learn about God’s sustaining power through the lives of David, Jesus, and countless others in the Bible, but we also find God’s strength in the people He’s placed around us that we encounter in our everyday lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
