Character (Chapter 1)
Having character as an artists (especially in the church)is so important! Why? Because people can tell if you are real, or if you are a fake. I ask our artists in the church all the time to make me believe them! People can tell if you believe what you are singing, playing, writing, painting, etc. Your character gives you credibility.
I love this quote from John Wooden, the legendary UCLA men's basketball coach: "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation, because your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
As artists in the church, we are expected to live lives of high character. We expect our pastors and leaders to live godly lives, but we address the same people with the same message that they do! We should not be living double lives either! A life of character brings blessing and fulfillment.
Enjoy the Journey
