I challenge you to let the story of someone you're leading affect how you lead them tomorrow…

Everyone in your church has a story. They are all real people with real lives, real struggles, and real victories. One of the benefits of serving in the church is that you get to learn these stories. This is not a random group of people you're leading in worship - this is YOUR church. So, take advantage of the fact that you get the opportunity to learn people's stories. Find out what's going on in their lives. Build relationships with them - learn their struggles and successes. Then, use the knowledge of what's going on in their lives to better lead them in worship…

Maybe it sounds crazy for you to take on MORE responsibility at church. But there are real benefits to serving as a small group leader in your church…
