FB team member Dena Dyer here. Like many people, I've been thinking a lot about Whitney Houston, whose career started with singing in her church, and today I'm amen-ing the wisdom in this piece from UrbanFaith called "The Missing X Factor." I especially love the ending: "We would all be closer to achieving greatness in whatever our particular pursuit in life may be if we had a regular opportunity to practice it, and if we heard the words of folk who love us encouraging us when we mess up: 'That’s alright now, take your time!'" Do you have a church where your gifts are encouraged? If so, how? If not, how could you encourage them to let people's gifts be more fully expressed?
Forget ‘American Idol.’ Where’s the church? Why local congregations need to reclaim their function as a training ground for young musicians.
