3 Ways to Stay Humble
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. –Proverbs 11:2 (ESV)
Pride is a dangerous vice. It’s sneaky and subtle. As
worship leaders, humility is an attribute that we simply cannot live
without.
Here are three easy things we, as worship
leaders, can do to make sure we stay humble in our churches, with our
teams and within our own hearts and minds!
Have conversations with people smarter and more experienced than you!
Not just other worship leaders, but also your pastor and the elders at your church. Older
men if you’re a man and older women if you are a woman are of great
benefit to our development not just as leaders but also as Christians! Seek out older more experienced people than yourself to be around and spend time with and learn from!
Read a lot!
If you are in The Word every day, if you
are constantly reading, you are proactively feeding your soul and your
mind with truth about who God is and who we are. Now,
not all books out there are right about the character and nature of
God, which is why having more experienced smarter people in your life is
important because they can lead you to authors you may have never heard
of that can help you!
Be available to your team for conversation, feedback and relationship!
If you are in relationship with the
people you serve with every week, they will undoubtedly see different
sides of you over time and you will see different sides of them as well. These relationships will allow you to hold each other accountable in the way you approach ministry and deal with people.
If we all did these three things
consistently, I believe we would see significant differences in the
health, function and impact our teams and our churches have in and
around our communities!
