”
Worship Leader Essentials was a good reminder that God has gifted me with leadership skills even if they don’t look like everyone else’s. It was a reminder of how spiritually dry I had become and how much I needed to fill my glass. Ryan Curnutt - FBC Ferguson, St Louis, MO

”
Learning about specific gifts/skills and the different roles in a worship leadership team: spiritual leader/ relational leader...thinking through this gave me a sense of freedom to relax and be the person God created me to be. 
Stephen Abershima

Pathway Church (Tacoma WA)

”
I grew a lot spiritually, gained a lot of confidence as a leader, and created friendships. The sessions were spot on to help me as a new worship leader in a new church. I appreciated the honesty and truly felt a part of the Kingdom.
