You make a great point that pastoring the band combats burnout. I have to watch that. The temptation is to be a machine where you churn out songs. Then we forget about the team. Just last night at rehearsal most of the band was totally worn out. We just laughed about how lame everything sounded since the energy level was in the basement. I focused on them instead of how they were sounding. It was just rehearsal and they always bring it come Sunday. Again, great stuff! Well said Bart!

And oh, so true. I've discovered, in my experience leading worship teams, that the personal investment that the leader makes in the band members is a counter balance to burn-out for those band members. As a paid staff leader (and musician by trade), leading worship and playing music is something of which I don't think I could ever tire. In fact, it's often a respite to the grind of other church duties. It's easy to forget sometimes that volunteer band members are not always driven by the same motivation and can sometimes find the routine of the weekly worship schedule a grind. Leading the team spiritually, investing personally, not only helps those people grow in their faith, pressing on to maturity, but it helps keep their fire lit for service. Peace! Great post. And oh, so true.
