I have come to the realization today that I am officially in a slump. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I think I have a good idea of what the problem is. I have been getting a lot more opportunities as a guitar player rather than a worship leader. I am having a hard time admitting this, but I think I am better at playing guitar than I am at leading worship. It’s not a secret that my biggest struggle as a worship leader is effectively communicating and taking the kids somewhere. Even though I do feel like I have gotten a lot more comfortable, I just don’t feel like I am near as good as these other guys. However I am so comfortable (not always competent, but always confident) on the guitar. Playing at Big Stuf was a huge milestone for me as a guitar player. It really forced me to do some things way outside of my comfort zone but I grew a ton. I am really trying hard to continue to grow as a worship leader while still growing as a guitar player as well. I guess it’s a good struggle to have, I just wish I was a better communicator on stage. I’m only 20 though, I just want to keep growing and getting better every day.
