All About Worship Live: “Sr. Pastor and Worship Leader Relationship” Roundtable

On Monday, August 16, Ben and Wisdom will be recording a “Roundtable” session for an upcoming podcast episode. This is our second roundtable since our initial “Manly Worship” back in October, 2009. The topic this time around…”Sr. Pastor and Worship Leader Relationship”.

How many of you worship leaders have struggled with your relationship with a “controlling” Sr. Pastor? How many Sr. Pastor’s have struggled with your “free spirited” worship leader? The Sr. Pastor/Worship Pastor relationship is extremely important in leading a local church week in and week out.  Join us live on Talkshoe as we discuss how we can work together as a team with some experienced leaders in the local church and worship leading community.  Meet our roundtable guests:
