A good worship leader can make an incredible difference in a church. A not-so-good worship leader can really mess things up. Jess and Thom interview Mike Harland to dive deeply into seven characteristics of excellent worship leaders that are often not at the forefront of discussion. The post Seven Characteristics of Excellent Worship Leaders That Are Often Forgotten: An Interview with Mike Harland appeared first on Church Answers.

Many churches struggle, fight, and (often) even split over musical style and preferences. This is a sad reality, because music is a gift to build the church, not a weapon to destroy it. In this month’s episode I talk with Mike Harland, the Director Lifeway Worship about what caused the “Worship Wars” of the 80’s and 90’s, how the fallout is still affecting us today, and how we can move beyond it to shepherd our people with music that transcends genre and points people to Christ. If you’re struggling with fighting, dissension, and critical comments from your congregants, or if you’re just wondering how musical style fits into the grand scheme of worship, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Daniel Im are joined by Mike Harland, director of LifeWay Worship and author of Worship Essentials. During their conversation, they discuss current worship culture. BEST QUOTES "Years ago, I realized that music was not the point, it was only the language." "The idea that you can unify a church around a music style is insanity. You better unify it around Jesus." "When an artist is leading congregational music it can be problematic." "There needs to be a really healthy awareness of the shepherding role that a worship leader has to have." "When we began to print lyrics and project lyrics, suddenly the hymnal wasn't the source book anymore." "What I've seen is the church believing that a worship approach could be a growth strategy for their church, and I just can't see that in the Scripture." "The way a church approaches worship becomes such an identifiable mark of their ministry approach." "In a healthy worship culture, there is a singular focus on the person of Jesus Christ, who He is and what He has done." "If your chief musician is a disciple maker, the ministry he leads will be a disciple making ministry that will be part of the overall strategy, not something that competes." "Healthy worship cultures measure their impact not on how well the set was executed but how engaged the congregation was." "Your people's prayer vocabulary will be built on what they are singing." "The body should prefer each other to any music style."

“The mistake I see young writers making sometimes... is they focus most of their energy on what they can do, instead of focusing their energy on being who they should be.

The process of sitting down with pen and paper and pouring your heart out in song shapes you.” Mike Harland has been at the helm of LifeWay Worship for twelve years and brings an amazing amount of information and depth about songs, songwriting, and the publishing industry in this powerful show. “Get in that space in your head, where you learn all about the craft and then ‘forget it’ to be able to do what you do.
