If you look over at the blogroll section on the right, you will see that I have several different categories of links — some are leadership oriented, some Wesleyan oriented, some small/rural church oriented and so on. Recently, I stumbled upon this worship blog. Rich Kirkpatrick is a worship leader and has written a thought provoking series called Worship Mythbusters. This has been a series several months in the making and there may be more posts coming, but I’ve outlined the posts that are available right now.
