Description

What if the greatest worship leaders aren't the ones with the best voices? 

Dan Dean from Phillips, Craig & Dean drops a truth bomb that will change how you think about worship leadership forever. After 50 years in ministry—20 as a worship pastor, decades as lead pastor—Dan reveals why the most impactful worship leaders often step back instead of stepping up. 

In this episode, you'll discover:  

  • Why "doing it all yourself" actually weakens your team  

  • The Bill Gaither principle for spotting hidden talent in your church  

  • How Dan's son leads worship by sitting in the front row (genius move)  

  • When to sacrifice your "excellence standard" to develop others  

  • The leadership mistake that destroys worship teams 

If you've ever felt like it's easier to "just do it yourself" or wondered how to pull the gifts out of your team members, this conversation will completely shift your leadership approach. 

The real question isn't whether you can lead worship—it's whether you can develop worship leaders.
