What comes to mind when you hear the term worship leader? Did you just immediately think of a man? A woman? Did gender not enter your mind at all? Today, there are countless prominent women in the Christian worship scene; to name a few - we have Lauren Daigle, Kari Jobe, Audrey Assad, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Brooke Fraser, Naomi Raine - I could go on and on. 

With the body of Christ being so prominently led by these women of God, one may not even think that there is still controversy over women leading worship but for someone paying attention to the small details - could this still be causing tension?

Today we’re here to talk about women in the church, specifically those using their gifts to lead through song, and bring light to the sensitivities of women in worship.
