Talent. Skill. Excellence. Perfectionism. Israel Houghton balances it all. And he constantly checks his heart. In Part 3 of this exclusive interview, we talked with Israel about how talent and skill factor into worship, perfectionism and motives.
CHARISMA: What about talent and skill—how do they factor into worship, if we’re looking at it from beyond a purely musical expression?
Houghton: There’s a way to produce excellent music based on whatever your current feeling might be. The biggest part of excellence is not skill. At the same time, if you’ve got a big skill set, make sure you use it. Use all the tools in the toolbox.
But it does come back to having the right expression, the right purity of motivation. We say “heart,” but I don’t want “heart” to be misconstrued as “not that good.” I just think when the heart is added to that skill set in the right way, it’s going to be amazing.
