A Sea Of Red

So I was at Lakewood Sunday morning and Israel Houghton had the old Summit/Compaq Center shaking when it occurred to me that this might make an interesting topic.

Who are your favorite praise & worship leaders?

I know this is highly subjective and some of the old hags might drop a Don Norman or Robbie Hiner reference on us. I also realize this genre is not most folks first choice for listening pleasure. What I am getting at is whose music stirs your spirit and gets you ready to receive a message?

I suspect the Passion guys here in Texas (Chris Tomlin, Todd Agnew, David Crowder Band et al) have some broad appeal. The guys in Salvador used to lead praise & worship at my church in Austin before they became Salvador. And personally I am big Lincoln Brewster fan in this genre.

What do you think?

Eric Lovett. I'm serious. For whatever he struggled with, leading a great band was not it. He had huge band member turnover each year and every year they sounded better than the last.

Very true, indeed.

agreed, but i never thought his name would even get mentioned.

I admit I wasn't expecting his name to be the first mentioned either. But that is cool.

At the same time I hope his presence doesn't hijack the original purpose of the thread.

Honestly, I don't really remember the good ones. I can only tell you the ones I don't like, which means I should probably just keep quiet.

I guess the sign of a good one is not being able to remember them. You're focusing on what you're doing instead of what they're doing.

I'm a big fan of David Crowder. He always transforms a crowd everywhere he goes.

My church is between worship leaders...also between transiitioning from all hymns all the time to more of a blend...all the old fundy's dont like it.

That means it must be working.

I think mosty of us have been through these transition periods. It can be uncomfortable for a period of time.
