This is very timely! We have this discussion as part of every programming meeting. We always evaluate after each Saturday night service and the worship speaking is always something we discuss.

Of course, we encourage the worship leaders to follow God’s leading but sometimes it’s hard to get a good read on the audience when your leading, so it’s difficult to know whether to keep encouraging them or just to let them go. thanks.

haha 83% wow.
That makes me feel better by not stopping to talk.
at least i’m not annoying my congregation- normally I say a Good Morning type intro before we get started and then a prayer in between our last fast and first slow song of the set- that seems to be nice. but yeah, I don’t really “talk” during worship because it interrupts the flow of the services and sometimes I may mess up what the Holy Spirit is doing in someone’s life during worship if I start talking about what “I think” God wants me to say- I would rather save my talking points for the chances i get when I teach on Wednesday nights on worship. then, i have more time to expound on something that I may have wanted to say during worship that may have been misconstrued.

Fred,
I think when responding to this I was reminded of myself as a young leader. When people would not respond the way I wanted them to my prodding became less and less encouraging and eventually was just attacking the congregations heart of worship. I think that teaching on worship is right… just not between every song. If God starts moving I always want to say something instead of allowing the Holy Spirit room to work.

I think my question is “what is defined by these users as alot”? I get ticked off when I see results like this – because people have the wrong idea about Worship Leaders. They think “shut up and sing”. Duh. Leading songs – yeah, shut up and sing. Leading worship? Pastoring worship? That takes some teaching, some exhortation, some focus.
