Worship Leader Devotional “Going Deeper”: Lessons From a GPS

I was recently on a road trip and, thanks to the Department of Transportation signs that randomly pop up to give drivers a heads up on construction or accident delays, I was alerted to the fact that there was a situation ahead that would warrant my taking an alternate route. This would not be a…

Worship Leader Devotional “Going Deeper”: Inside Out, Pt. 2 – The River

Recently I spent an afternoon tubing with some friends down the Toccoa River in the North Georgia Mountains. I have always loved water, however, I usually prefer to be on it, rather than in it. Tubing tends to provide the best of both, and on a hot, humid day in July, being ‘on’ and ‘in’…

Worship Leader Devotional “Going Deeper”: Heads or Tails?

A friend of mine once made an interesting comment about how our lives are like a coin. We all have a heads side and a tails side. On one side of the coin, we have our past, our history, things we’ve done or things done to us. On the other, we have our future, the…
