Worship Leader, Know and Value Your Grace
As a worship leader, one of my greatest lessons in 2016 was the importance of knowing the grace God has given me, appreciating it, valuing it and maximising it. Putting it to the fullest use wherever and whenever possible for the glory of God.

20 Signs Of Insecure Musicians/Singers
I find this to be true in many people. If there's something that reflects you in this list, then you need to pray and work on it.
1- A Bassist who is Insecure would detune the Strings after playing especially when another bassist would be playing after him. That's one reason most bassists carry their own Guitars to programs.
2- An Insecure Keyboardist would Transpose the Keyboard and would leave it like that, so the next player comes to play a wrong key. Abi you remember the Musical Rockshow days.

4- A Sin...
