Take the steps to become an extravagant worshiper! 2nd edition to reflect a new publisher. I began writing Establishing a Culture of Lead Worshipers as a worship team manual. It's a collection of ideas about how members of worship teams should consider their donation of (or paid) time and talent to the church as much more than a performance venue. But it's not that I think that all musicians and technicians are only there for performance. The majority sincerely want to contribute toward the worship at their church. And I want to help teach you how to contribute. But contributing is not the removal of the idea of performance from your mind, it's the removal of all distractions toward the main goal of leading another to the foot of the cross of Jesus. If you have your head buried, thinking that this removes the sheen of performance from the people, this is also a distraction. Let me help you realize how you can be your best self and the best servant for your congregation. Stephen Robert Cass is a hack golfer who aims for high mediocrity. Because of his lofty goals on the course, he may one day enter charity tournaments so he can donate his time and talents.
