"Awesome Book.  I do have a question but your email link doesn't work for me."

"Congratulations Adam, downloading it now, thanks for sharing!"

"I'm a composer and arranger and a "monkeyer-with-music", so I'm always trying a different way, but throughout the course of many of these discussions I'm gleaning a general impression that a worship leader ought to 1) study…"

"Adam, perhaps you are putting too much pressure on yourself to learn and to perform new music.  It's great to stay current and to introduce a new song that will be meaningful and worshipful for your congregation, and the Bible clearly…"

"It doesn't sound that harsh to me but what I'm reading/and you are reading is only 7% of communication anyway. It sounds pretty straight forward. I guess if you recorded them, and let others hear then that would be good. You yourself said…"

"A million times.  On my graduate recital I played a titanic Fantasia and fugue by Bach -- on the very opening, about five measures in, I got lost on a one-hand run thing that went all over the keyboard, and that wasn't too hard to fake,…"

"We are always harder critics on ourselves than the audience. I've found this true across the board - Christian band or not. It's good to be critical of yourself. I often feel that it's a good way to keep us humble - I NEVER…"

"You only really have to worry when they tell you in your interview, "We don't stab you in the back here.  We stab you in the front":) Man, three years in full-time ministry and I was still just trying to get the service order…"

"Just for reference, I was told once that I have musical talent but that I'm not a very good leader. It was true at the time, I didn't really engage the congregation or do much to create flow. But I took it to heart - in two ways. One, I…"

"I think you are right that he wasn't trying to be hurtful, I may need to learn to have a broader perspective :) thanks for your insight "

"you make some good points here, I think the whole approach was given way differently than I would have done it which makes me feel like it was worse than it really was ha."

"we don't record the music portion of the service but I think I may figure out a way to start! that way I'll have some reference to go off of. thanks for your input "
