The **best piano player** in your church might be the **wrong person for your team**.
Keith makes the case that an **audition is not** **American Idol.** It's the first thing that teaches someone what kind of team they're joining, before they ever play a note.
You'll hear how to build an application that asks about someone's story and **not just their instrument**, the everyday conversation **questions that quietly reveal character**, starting with what song they listened to on the way over, and the four honest **ways to respond after audition day** so nobody walks out guessing.
He also gets into why handing pieces of the process to current team members develops leaders and takes weight off you.
Keith Elgin leads worship, coaches worship leaders and pastors, and hosts the Worship Online Podcast.
