2. Depend on the Holy Spirit: Accomplished worship leaders don’t bank on their own talent and experience as much as the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s putting together a set-list or delivering a session on stage, their ears are constantly open to listen to the Holy Spirit’s promptings and their hearts stay in a disposition of obedience.
