Carnes, Mack Brock, and Local Sound, all of whom are in this issue! In the natural sense, a first headlining tour is a big deal. In the supernatural sense, you’ ll be surrounded by some pretty amazing people on this journey. What are your hopes and expectations for this tour, and are there any things that you’ re perhaps a bit nervous about?
[ Mariah ] I’ m always nervous. I think I’ m nervous because, obviously when you go out and you’ re doing something, especially as a headliner, you think,“ Are people even going to come? Are we even good anymore?” There are a lot of nerves that come with it. This is now our third tour this year, so I’ m confident that we know what God is doing through us. We know what God is doing through Mack and Cody and Local Sound. I think it’ ll just be really special to be able to join forces and create a
beautiful night. I’ m excited because I just love when people come together. I just love teams, like I said before. I just think it’ s really cool, to be able to love on other people’ s teams, and love on other people’ s ministries. We just got off of a tour with Zoe Worship and Chad Veach, and just to be able to encourage them and be
part of their lives for a short period of time was amazing. I feel like a lot of what God does in a room, God is also doing behind the scenes in relationships and friendships. I’ m excited for that, it’ s going to be awesome.
[ WM ] Is there anything else you’ d like to add?
[ Mariah ] You’ re awesome. That’ s all I have to say.
[ Editor’ s Note ] So Mariah’ s last comment was a bit of an inside joke as my response to pretty much every one of Mariah’ s answers was,“ Awesome.” And frankly, they really were. Whether you lead a team, serve on one, or are thinking about doing so, this interview is filled with more best practices than I’ ve seen in one place, perhaps. So please share this with your team and the leaders at your Church!
