The Worship Leading Pastor – by Mike Harland

He might not be able to sing a lick. He knows the difference between a quarter note and a post-it note, but only because he knows what a post-it note is. He likes ‘70s Rock classics but doesn’t have a clue who Hillsong is. And he is the worship leader of your church. Your Pastor […]
