RELYING ON THE ROCKSTAR Ever had a super-talented musician come along that kicked up your worship team ’ s sound several notches ?
Maybe it was a drummer who brought a newfound drive and energy to your sound . Or a keyboard player who could ( tastefully ) fill and improvise . Or a bass player who could lay a foundation like you never had before . Or a guitar player that could actually play the riffs from the recording . Admit it — secretly , you wanted to schedule him or her EVERY week . I know I do .
Whenever that musician is scheduled , it ’ s like breathing fresh air after being stuck in a box .
But then there ’ s that one Sunday when they ’ re not scheduled . You ’ re back in the box , breathing the stale air of average .
Unfortunately , your congregation can tell too .
On the weeks your high-level player is on , you get all sorts of compliments ranging from , “ Wow ! That sounded great !” to “ That was an amazing time of worship today ” and even “ I sooo felt the Presence of the Lord …”.
( To that last person , you just want to say , “ REALLY ?”)
But the very next week when the golden child is NOT scheduled ?
Crickets .
Now , do I have an issue with a musician joining my team whose talent is lightyears beyond the rest of the team ? If he ’ s not a jerk , or she ’ s not a diva , and they ’ re there to serve , heck no ! Bring ’ em on .
