Podcast Episode #405
The relationship between pastor and worship leader is one of the most important church staff relationships there is. Today, we discuss a post by Sam Rainer on why it’s critical for the two to meet weekly.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
- The preaching and music in a corporate worship service should complement one another.
- Church members can tell if there is a healthy relationship or not between a pastor and worship leader.
- A divided church staff can often lead to a divided church.
- Worship is more than just music.
- Pastors, how much better could your corporate worship be if you had a better relationship with your worship leader?
- A church benefits when the church staff is close.
The five reasons we cover are:
- Music and preaching are complementary, not separate.
- Separating the sermon and music separates the church.
- Churches can sense the healthiness of staff relationships.
- A regular rhythm in worship fosters discipleship.
- Pastors need to know what drives each other.
