You have some good ideas as to the heart of the worship leader, but the thing is, a relationship with God and a passion for God is up to you. It’s not a worship leader’s responsibility to get that going for you. I agree that some people are just distracting and hard to really get into the worship with, but God is to be praised at all times. If you are having problems meeting with Him in worship, you should probably pray about that to Him, not complain to the worship leader that it’s his fault. Just saying. God is worthy of our praise, even if we have personal problems with the person leading our worship.

You shouldn’t feel pressured to pump yourself up with these passions. Trouble is, much of what passes for worship today is nothing more than a passionate rock concert with spiritual lingo attached. Worship leaders need to look at what they don’t say as well as what they do. Many times their actions imply a behavior for the rest of us during worship. The bad thing is that many pastors and worship leaders as well, many times have to put on a sunshiny face when they are not feeling it, so as not to disappoint the perceived consumer mindset of the flock. Worship God as you would, without pressure to raise hands, feel the glow etc.

As a worship leader of many years, I’m wondering, why is there so much pressure on the worship leader to attract unbelievers? I think there are deeper issues here than the worship leader and how they behave. I think if we thought more deeply about our liturgy and how it works, we’d take a lot of pressure off the worship leader/team to “make it happen”.

…P.S. I stayed for a second service, and noticed that all that passionate spontaneous worship stuff you did (like getting on your knees and reaching up to heaven) was done the same way you did it in the first service… I mean, I know you are in the Spirit up there, but I am amazed at how perfect timed and consistant the Spirit is in acting out through you during the bridge of that song.
