4 Handy Tips On Eye Contact And Body Posture In Worship Leading

Dan Wilt shares four essential tips for worship leaders to effectively engage their congregation through eye contact and body posture. Proper use of these communication tools can greatly impact the worship experience for the audience, making them feel more connected and involved.

The first tip is to keep the eyes open, which shows confidence, connection, and comfort. It also sends a message of unity to the worshippers. The second tip is to close the eyes occasionally when leading worship. This communicates engagement with God and encourages an intimate atmosphere during worship.
