This vision for the role of a worship leader makes a huge difference in how we go about our work, how we select music and how we lead it, how we convene teams of musicians and how we relate to our worshiping communities.

Participants: David M. Bailey, Rawn Harbor, Monique Ingalls, Wen Reagan, Sandra Maria Van Opstal, and Ed Willmington, moderated by Zac Hicks
