Chapter 14

In this chapter, Krauter talked about how we should care for the congregation aka the student body. Bringing love and care into the place where we worship effects not only the envirnoment but the people in it as well. When people feel like we care for them they will understand and pay more attention to our message. Overall caring for others especially in a worship sense really brings out the best of God's Grace and our worship.

I really enjoyed this chapter because it talked about caring for others and I really enjoyed how Krauter talked about emotions and putting them into worship. I love caring for others so thats why i enjoyed Krauter's use of different types of emotions into worship. Overall I really learned alot from this chapter and really enjoyed it!

Chapter 13

In this chapter Krauter talks about keeping up with our priorities. When we are worship leaders we need to look to God and our relationship with him as top priority. Family is also something we must look to as something important in our lives. If we forget about family and our close friends then haven't we forgotten so much. It might not seem like it pays off to hang out with your family but it is very important and pays off in the long run.

I really enjoyed this chapter because of its focus on family values. Keeping these values as a priority is very important not only to me but should be important to everyone. Overall I really enjoyed this chapter because of its interesting insight into krauter's mind and how we should live our lives as not only worship leaders but as people.

Chapter 12

In this chapter, Kratuer talks about how we need to use the gifts God has given to us. If we dont use the gifts given to us then are we really appreciating them. Also using the Spirit to guide us through our life helps us in a way we don't even understand. There is no question that we have each been given at least one gift and we were designed to use it! Try to excel with your gifts and help lead others because that is what God has intended us to do.

I really enjoyed reading this chapter because it talked about using our gifts for God's glory. Not a lot of leaders know that we must use our gifts to help others. Some don't even believe that they have gifts themselves! Knowing what our gifts are and that we should use them for others is essential to being a worship leader. Overall I really liked reading this chapter because of its different and insightful message.

Chapter 11

In this chapter Krauter talks about how being a role model is essential when being a worship leader. When being a worship leader, people look up to us and look to us for guidance. When being that face of spirituality we then become a role model to others. It is not a choice but being a role model is something we need to remind ourselves of when acting in our everyday lives. We shouldn't do anything bad that could tarnish our role model view through the eyes of others. This is the message that Krauter wanted to tell us

I really enjoyed this chapter because it talked about being a role model and what that entails. When we are worship leaders people look up to us and it is good to know that we must look out for our own actions because they could have repercussions. Overall I really enjoyed this chapter and its topic.
