The Learning To Lead Blog

This is a blog I should have started a while back. Two years ago, I moved to Miami with my wife to be a worship leader at Calvary Chapel Kendall. I was 22 years old. And although it didn’t hit me at the time, this was a very daunting task, one for which I had no qualifications or experience for. All I knew was, I loved leading worship and knowing I could do that for a living was a dream come true.

Needless to say, in two years I’ve learned quite a lot. I’ve been forced into situations where I simply had to rely on God. I’ve begged God countless times for wisdom beyond my years to lead a worship ministry. I’ve questioned the fact of why, out of all the very talented worship leaders out there, God chose me to be the worship leader for this amazing Calvary Chapel in Kendall of Miami. And I’ve grown closer to God than ever before.

This blog was created for… well… to be honest, me. To look back on all the things I tried in ministry, my victories, my failures, would be very entertaining. But there’s also a small hope of mine that there might be someone out there, some other guy that doesn’t know what he’s doing either, who this could be an encouragement to. This isn’t me preaching. This isn’t me telling other worship leaders what they should do. This is me telling you what I tried and if it worked or not.

I’m forced into many situations I’ve never been in that I’ve had to find solutions for. And in that environment great things are learned. Things that might very well be a heads up for some other person in the same situation. My hope is that this might be a resource and blessing to the inexperienced, the young, the unqualified. To God be the glory.
