Earlier today I had the chance to team up with Ryan Axtell to really dive into the nuts and bolts of the evolution of the Acoustic Guitar for the Worship Leader. In this video, Ryan uncovers a new discovery of ours that we think could shape the culture of equipment for Worship Leaders, internationally. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts! This will also be featured on our Cornerstone Worship Arts Blog.

As I write I'm confused, perplexed, bewildered...you name it.  Before I go too far here, I admit from the start that this post is about me getting this out - not as much of a help to others.  However, maybe this venting will touch something within you for the good.

Vent: frankly, I'm pissed. 

As a pastor I'm supposed to be a spiritual leader.  This means I lead in spiritual things and have the spiritual health of people in mind in everything I do.  Frankly, I'm getting more and more ticked off with "spiritual leaders" who don't care about the spiritual health of people, but rather through actions seem to focus on everything but that.

I'm hearing more and more people say that they've never seen spiritual leaders actually help them focus on their true spiritual health.  Giving purely head knowledge, yes, hear that.  Putting on programs, yes, hear that.  Focusing on behavioral issues, yep, hear that too.  Giving funny messages, yes.  None of these things are bad in and of themselves, but focusing on purely spiritual issues and moving people toward pure spiritual health is too UNcommon in church leadership today.
