So I heard a quote the other day and it’s sticking with me as if God put it on repeat in my brain till I really listen. The quote isn’t all that profound but very challenging to me personally.

I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor.

So I’m constantly asking the question. WHAT is the definition of worship? What is worship? As a worship leader who is constantly in front of the church “leading worship” this question comes up in my head quite a bit. What are we doing here? What’s the goal? What’s my job?
