This is the podcast of Jonathan David and Melissa Helster.

In today's episode, Jonathan shares from his journey about the heart of

leading worship. We hope you enjoy. So this beautiful session is on worship leading. How many of you guys are currently

leading worship? Yeah? How many of you guys like really want to but you're kind of scared of it and you haven't done it yet?

But you're just in this session to see if maybe this is what I might want to do.

Any of those people? It's okay if you are?

Yeah. Okay. How many of you have led a worship set and you

walked off the stage and said I'm never doing that again.

Okay good. I only did that like two weeks ago you know.

So I just want to open up my heart and share what I've learned on this journey of getting the

privilege of leading worship. What a wild privilege this is to lead worship, yeah?

It's like if you loved fishing and you were given this massive fishing boat and you were paid money to be a tour guide and take people fishing, right?

That's what I feel like being a worship leader is. It's like it's my favorite thing to do and then I actually get to do it as like a job sometimes.

You know?

What a privilege it is to be able to lead people into worship.

So I'm just going to share and roll through some thoughts

that I have and see what the Lord does.

So I believe worship leading is a beautiful fulfillment of the First Commandment.

Loving God and loving people.

It's not either or, it's actually both and more.

The more we love God, the more we love is people.

And the more we love as people, the more we love the Father.
