Hello,
I thought I should post helpful tips on how a growing worship leader can prepare to lead a praise & worship session for a church service/event.
Here is me writing from how the Holy Spirit has helped me, time and again. I wasn't really taught all of these things this way, but I picked them up as the Holy Spirit helped me.
