Remember when your worship leader was a guy named "Matt" or "Scott" and he had a normal looking guitar and wore normal looking pants and had less product in his hair than your wife? That happened right? I mean, I didn't make that up, right? It's hard to be certain though given how hip we've asked our worship leaders to be. Whether it's hair that juts out in geometrical angles that give the middle finger to gravity or designer jeans or graphic tee's over graphic tee's over graphic tee's over tattoos, there's no denying things have changed. But you know what? I like it. I like that we're recruiting people that are loud and passionate and creative about what they do. I will forever make fun of the worship leader that recently wore only a t-shirt and a scarf on stage, but I love what they do and whether they want to be hip or not is cool with me.

#43. Metrosexual Worship Leaders.

Isn't the whole metrosexual fad dying out?
All the worship leaders in southern California wear stone-washed jeans and Rainbow sandals.
Like all the other people in southern California.
I can spot a worship leader a mile away just like I could spot a pastor a mile away in the late 80s. You could spot them because they were the ones wearing the shell suit - "a lightweight front zippered nylon jogging top matched with loose bottom trousers cuff gathered and with an elasticated waist". Remember those?
I love the photo with this one ... because worship leaders have to pee, too.
My worship leaders have mostly been middle-aged people that should at the front of the church and sang along with the hymns.
