Louie Giglio, founder of the Passion Movement, presented some challenging thoughts on leadership and worship. He suggested that question is not are you going to lead, and how are you going to lead? Instead, he said the question we need to be asking is are you going to live, and how are you going to live?

Here are some other highlights of what Louie had to share:

We get one shot called life. The best thing you do is not lead, but live. In Jesus, we should experience unbounded joy.

What God wants us to hear today is this: “You are prized by majesty, who has given supremely.” That’s where living begins.

Out of that understanding, our desire will be to respond extravagantly to him. We’re falling in love with majesty. That’s our core. That’s our life. That’s are worship. Revelation and response. That’s what worship is all about.

Worship is simple. Worship is me in His hands. My life in His plans.

We get a great song, and we sing it to death. Then we crave a new song. We might just be infatuated with the experience of worship. Our lives might not be in His hands at all.

Are we consumers of worship? Worship is supposed to be the place where we are consumed. Paul said, “I’m being poured out like a drink offering.” Here’s me. Use me up. I’m putting my life in Your hands.

Consumers ask what’s in it for me? “Consumees” say I’m in it for You. For consumers, worship is about style. For consumees, worship is about surrender.

If you’re leading, you’re also departing. How are you going to invest this short time on this planet in something that will not be fleeting and will not fade away? People can stop you from leading, but no one can stop you from living. No one can stop you from putting your life in God’s hands. And, nothing can stop the power of God in your life.
