Leading Beyond the Platform

Writer: Amber Rhoads PeairsAmber Rhoads Peairs

As worship leaders, we often focus on what happens on the platform—the songs, the arrangements, the transitions—but our role goes far beyond Sunday morning.


We are called to live a LIFE of worship. How we live outside of the church walls is just as much an act of worship as how we lead on the platform. 🙌🏼✨

 

In How to Worship a King, Zach Neese reminds us:

 

“You are a priest. You are a living, breathing meeting place between God and people.” 

 

This means that everywhere we go—at home, at work, in our communities—we represent Christ. Our lives should be places where people encounter His presence, love, and truth.

 

Worship leadership is also about leading a life that inspires others to know God more.

 

Here's how we can do that:

 

🏡 Lead at home by cultivating a culture of worship in our families, speaking life, and making prayer and worship part of our daily routines.

 

🤝 Lead in the community by serving others, being intentional with our words and actions, and reflecting Christ in how we treat people.

 

🌍 Lead in the world by walking in integrity, carrying God’s presence into our workplaces and social media spaces, and using our influence to point people to Jesus.

 

Let’s embrace our calling as living, breathing meeting places between God and people...leading worship not just with our voices or instruments, but with our lives.

 

How do you intentionally lead beyond the platform? Comment and let me know—I’d love to hear from you! 👇🏼💬
