Dillan and Spencer get honest about church hiring practices — why churches often fill positions with low-risk, low-talent people instead of investing in the pros who could actually raise the bar.
In this episode:
⛪ Is the church full of incompetent people? — the loaded question nobody wants to answer
💰 Low-risk vs. high-risk hires — why churches default to "Kelvin" over the $120K pro
🎚️ Over-investing in gear, under-investing in people — the pillar MxU won't stop preaching
🙅 Sons & daughters of the house — when personal relationships make firing impossible
🔥 "Let's fire some people" — what if being let go was actually a sign of a healthy culture?
✅ Why great volunteer teams beat mediocre paid staff every time

Is your church pulling out all the stops for Easter... only to go back to normal the very next week? Dillan and Spencer get honest about the Easter "Super Bowl Sunday" mentality — and whether treating one Sunday as the big event is actually doing more harm than good.
In this episode:
⛪ Easter as "Super Bowl Sunday" — should every weekend get that energy?
👔 Why church stage wardrobes are becoming a distraction (and what it communicates)
🎻 String quartets, guest worship leaders & freelancers on big weekends — is it clickbait?
🙏 The power of praying over seats — why not every weekend?
✅ What to carry from Easter into EVERY Sunday going forward
