Unity within the body of Christ is always key. And it's no less important in smaller groups like those whose call it is to lead. And with all the things that seek and serve to divide us, how are we - as Worship Leaders - to respond.

That's the focus of today's conversation between veteran leaders Scott Chatham and Chris Ferger. Listen in for insightful thoughts, and walk away with some workable ideas, regardless of the size of your church or team.
