In Episode 12, Shalon shares a personal story of one of the scariest moments in his life... No joke, if we all had a moment like that, it would be unforgettable.  You'll have to listen in to hear the story...  But it ties right into what we're talking about - Knowing who's in charge. It's important to know who's making the calls and who the leader is inside of a church setting. Organization and leadership is paramount to a healthy church.  But it all starts with a mutual respect and honor of each other. The mindset that we're all family and working together as a team to accomplish a goal. But it's also knowing who's in charge and who makes the final decision.  It's been said that the primary worship leader in the church is the Lead Pastor. I couldn't agree more. The church is following their lead. If they entrust other leaders, the church will follow them as well, wholeheartedly... but the atmosphere and passion in a room (the temperature) is set by the lead pastor.
