Thanks Eric! Appreciate it, man.
Don McAllister says
I’m no worship leader, but great post! I especially liked #17.
David Santistevan says
Thanks man. Any suggestions on how I could improve this blog? I have a number of people who aren’t worship leaders who read. Sometimes I wonder if it bores them ๐
Rebekah Campbell says
I don’t comment on each blog post but I eagerly look forward to them each day and apply much of what you contribute, either through your own posts or the guest posts that you’ve had. Much of it is food for thought. Much of it I already know, but it’s a good reminder and encouragement to me that I’m on the right track. Sometimes it convicts me of things I need to look at in myself. Thank you for your commitment to this each day….I’m never bored ๐
David Santistevan says
Wow. Thank you so much Rebekah. Question for you – why don’t you comment more often? Is it because of my posting frequency? I’d just be interested to know as I’m always looking to improve what I do here. Thank you!
Rebekah Campbell says
Oh no, it has nothing to do with your frequency. I just posted on the post you did on “Weekly Reviews” and that’ll explain better. To add to the other comment…I need also to start reaching out….actively looking for specific answers, ask questions, comment and interact more instead of sitting on the sidelines watching. Not getting involved more in that way is “my bad”. Looking to change that as well.
David Santistevan says
Cool. Yea, I’ve found I get the most out of blogs when I add to the discussion and participate in the community. I guess what you invest in you appreciate more. You always have insightful comments, Rebekah! Thanks for being here. I really appreciate it ๐
Rob Still says
This might be one of your most thought provoking posts. These are great, challenging questions. #3 is especially convicting for moi. ๐
A less specific question, but one I ask myself in various forms is –
“Lord, what would give you the most pleasure?”
Here’s another
“What kind of experience am I/we creating for _____ ?”
