sense , as a musician , a lot of really taking this on that whole scope of his ability and solos and stuff like that . But I think as a young musician , so often it ’ s different to even how people have it now . It ’ s kind of pre-YouTube . We ’ re just playing by ourselves at home noodling and trying to figure out how to just have fun with this instrument . So I ’ d say he was a big influence for sure back then .
[ WM ] Good , very good . Well , in closing , what are the greatest top of mind understandings that any worship leader and worship team member should embrace ?
[ Hannah ] We have a teaching pastor in our church that rebukes us at times saying , “ You put too much emphasis on worship leading and the creative teams . Who are you guys to say that you are creative people ?” So , he ’ s kind of a self-proclaimed grumpy Bible teacher . But in a way , I see his point . So often we emphasize this worship leader role or even songwriter . And I think the big understanding and thing that I ’ m constantly trying to re-teach myself and remind myself is that , like I said about Darlene before , it ’ s just a blip . The things that really carry weight I think , are how we disciple others and invest into people and follow Christ and be an example to show others how to follow him . I think those emphasis , that emphasis we put on the things of God . That ’ s everything .
So that ’ s the thing that I think human nature is . It ’ s enjoyable to do what we love and play music and all of that . But so much more than that is just learning how to follow God and walk with him . And then I think it ’ s really love others , believe in others and create space for them to kind of flourish and do well and use their gifts to glorify God . So a big life pursuit for me is trying to invest into others and create , to be able to do what someone did for me once , which is give them an opportunity to step into and lead them and guide them along the way a little bit .
[ WM ] Hannah , it ’ s delightful to visit with you . I pray that God will empower your new EP to impact the church worldwide and should you do any traveling , that he will accompany you and be with you and lead you in every step in every way . I really do thank you for this time .
