We can never over-emphasize focusing on the heart of the worship leader because honestly, this is what is on display each week. Our heart is the place where our passion dwells and our conviction speaks. It is the place where honesty is the only reality. Our heart is the place where everything we care about and hold dear is kept. It is the place where worship flows.
