There is a lot of discourse between worship leaders about the purpose of high production value versus just 1 person with an acoustic guitar and every variation between, do you see an inherent value in the environment you lead in?  I would say it’s all very highly circumstantial. I’ve been involved in services with pretty much every level of production value. There are some parts of a high production value service that I love
