Don’t miss his new record, Make Us One, and the interview here:

If a complete stranger approached you and invited you on a road trip, would you follow?
A little weird, right? If you don’t trust someone, you don’t go on a journey with them.
It’s the same with worship leading. If you’re not building trust with the people you lead, they’re not going to follow you. A massive part of building that trust is learning to communicate well.
