This week, I’m again joined by Sojourn worship leader Lorie King to discuss issue #2: “Why do worship leaders:

  • engage in mini-sermons
  • talk between every song

    It’s been pointed out to me that the picture above (which was taken by Dan Canales) looks as if I was using it to illustrate the point or show you a worship leader that is talking too much.

    That’s actually Lorie King, and she’s singing. I chose the picture because she’s the interviewee. I can assure you that she doesn’t talk too much when leading worship. As far as whether that’s true in other settings, ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.
