In chapter 11, Kraeuter shares about how he hated the idea of others looking to him I as an example of a Christian. He enjoyed praising God with gifts he blessed him with, but the idea of serving as an image of what praise looks like freaked him out.
To be quite honest, this scared me too when I first took up my guitar in chapel. I was worried about whether I was good enough to lead. I fought with myself in my head because I went back and forth in between worrying about how people would see me and reminding myself that it isn't about me, that it's about God. I try not think about being a role model too much because I don't want it to go to my head. But it is important to recognize that people do see us as leaders. It's important to be aware of this so that we can strive to live healthy and non-hypocritical lives that point towards God.
