Chapter 29

In this chapter, Krauter talks about being comfortable in our own skin in ministry. When it comes to ministry there are times where we have to talk about topics we don't necessarily want to talk about but we have too. Going beyond our comfort zone is sometimes very beneficial and can help others achieve all that God wants for them. Also when we ourselves go outside of our comfort zone we learn new things and become more comfortable with different things that we never thought we would be comfortable with before. Change is sometimes hard, not just for people in worship but for anyone. But we need to learn how to adapt and go out of our own "little bubbles."

I really enjoyed this chapter because it talked about change and how it effects us in worship situations. Sometimes when a member changes or someone leaves the band it can cause major rifts in the team but we need to learn to adapt. When something like this happen we are out of our comfort zone but thats not necessarily a bad thing. Change helps us learn, and thats what I really took from this chapter. Overall this chapter was really interesting because it really made me listen to the message of change and learning about going outside of my comfort zone.

Chapter 26

In this chapter, Krauter talked about being spiritually prepared to lead others not only through worship but through life. Krauter talked about his own personal experiences with preparing himself to lead by reading scripture. By reading these scriptures he prepared his heart to serve the Lord and without it, he would have fallen into failure. By looking to God and his words for guidence we wont fail.

I really liked this chapter because it talked about the influence of scripture on our leadership. Being apart of leadership at Valley I found this to be even more interesting. It really helped me learn about the value of scripture and how we can apply it to our lives. Overall this chapter was really insightful.
