I have a friend who pastors a great church near me and he has had Stan Toler speak at his church for several years now. He recently found out that his worship leader had been referred by Stan Toler to another pastor in Texas and now the worship leader is moving to Houston.
No surprise there, you may say. No laws broken there. Nothing in the Bible against that.
But I've made a note to self... "Keep traveling denominational leaders far away." They aren't your friend.

Is it maybe due to the worship leader getting closer to their roots, & not just 'cause Stan happened along?

I once told a former pastor that he must take vacations [he was complaining of burn out]. He did, and ended up staying as an associate at the church where he had gone on vacation. Well....now...

I like Stan; heard him at a palcon a couple years back and I think he is the speaker at an upcoming pastor's retreat in Southern California in October.
