I will elaborate on the Singing School experience in a blog post, but suffice it to say that my perspective on worship was stood on its head, and I was equipped with tools to help me on my journey from a cocky young song leader to a humble worship leader who wants nothing more than to guide people to the throne through life-changing worship. Won’t you join me in this journey?
