Redemption Boulevard A Multicultural Worship Ministry

What keeps me from fully surrendering to Christ?

Are people drawn to you or do you have to find people?

This question came up for me as I spent some time with my good friends Josh Davis and Nikki Lerner back in June.  It seems like people are just drawn to them.

I thought maybe it’s because of their personality.  They both are enjoy being around people, but I know that enjoy their time on their own and resting.

I thought maybe it’s because of their ministry.  Josh travels a lot and is in contact with a lot more people.  Nikki is part of a big church and is in a leadership role where she’s upfront a lot.

For me, I’ve generally been part of smaller congregations.  I’ve had to learn to be around a lot of people and enjoy them.  And I do need a break to spend time to build up my social energy again.

Now, why do I bring all this up?

During our panel discussion about multicultural worship…

During Proskuneo’s Worship Institute the three of us had the opportunity to talk about multicultural worship and why it’s so important.  When we were done talking we asked our group if they had any questions.

A lot of the questions started out about music, but it really came down to developing relationships, having reconciliation, and loving one another.  This seemed to be a common denominator in many people’s questions about “how-to’s.”

The point is that relationships are vital and essential to Josh’s ministry, Nikki’s ministry, and my ministry.  It doesn’t matter if people are drawn to you or you have to build up some social energy to spend time with people.  Relationships are important in multicultural worship ministry.

I came away from our panel discussion by combining Nikki’s phrase about relationships and my phrase…

Intentionally building relationships by doing life together.
