Dealing with Private Distractions to Worship, featuring Mike Harland

Podcast Episode #336

Mike Harland is back to talk about those things which can become private distractions to our worship.

Some highlights from today's episode include:

* Church leaders would rather not talk about "dress code" for those leading worship, but it can be problematic.
* As a leader, you have to be responsible for people in your ministry.
* In the social media age, ministry leaders need to be aware of how those in their ministry present themselves online.
* "Online fighting will damage your ministry and is a negative testimony."
* If you're a ministry leader, you're accountable for your actions—so should the people be who are in your ministry.
* If you're not willing to hold accountable those in your ministry, you're not leading well.
* When you display spiritual leadership, you have spiritual credibility to address problems spiritually.
* "Walk close and clean before the Lord."

The four items we discuss are:

* The longest Monday of my ministry
* Spiritual integrity of the platform in a social media age
* Accountability of leadership
* Spiritual leadership of the Worship Leader
