I am not sure how many musicians and artists we have on CC who are connecting with each other. I have a burden on my heart to connect with fellow musicians on a deeper level to be a mentor and positive influence.
Maybe you have noticed the same thing that I see in the world of music ministry: some christian musicians and artists feel entitled to their position. Trust and faith are sometimes skewed to focus on worldly concerns, such as status, position, talent, fame, and material possessions.
I am not saying that this is always the case, but I think that the enemy uses these things against us as a means of diluting the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The church is often times willing to turn a blind eye to this issue because music is a highly influential aspect of the modern day praise and worship meeting. In the end, it hurts the musicians the most because we start to allow sin to separate us from a strong relationship with God. The farther away from God we get the harder it becomes for spiritual conviction to allow us to repent.
Well, I figure that if I can start a thread here to begin addressing some of this concerns then it may help many young musicians and future spiritual leaders from falling into a trap.
I would really like it if some people would join in on the conversation. This will help me get on the path to identifying some individuals who I can pour into for many years to come. And, I think it would lead to some good learning moments.
