How Insecurity Affects Your Worship Leading w/ NewSpring Worship
Do you ever catch yourself measuring the success of a service by the amount of feedback you receive or how well you think you performed? I think everyone identifies with that experience.

In today’s episode with NewSpring Worship, we discuss how to realign our self-worth & regain a healthy perspective on our roles as worship leaders.
