In this chapter, Kraeuter talks about how sometimes it is easy for us to stay in our comfort zone. For some worship leaders, it could playing only one instrument or the same style of music. In Kraeuter's example, he is used to playing the guitar while leading worship. He felt like he was called to simply lead worship without his guitar so that he could be an example of how to lead. By staying in our comfort zone, we don't leave any room for ourselves to grow. We have to be willing to follow where God is leading us, whether that be changing an instrument or playing a song you don't like, because He wants us to grow.
This idea of getting out of my comfort zone is very relevant to me. Sometimes, it is easier for me to want to play songs that maybe don't challenge me. Instead of wanting to grow more as a musician, I want to stay in my comfort zone because I can be insecure about performing. However, I won't be able to grow and sometimes I could be ignoring God's plan for me because I want to stay in my comfort zone, even though God's plan is better then my own. I think there is definitely room for me to grow in getting out of my comfort zone.
