The MxU Podcast

We confront the pride and self-importance that can undermine church production teams, contrasting technical leaders who make others feel valued with those who seek recognition, titles, gear, or influence. We examine the grumpy church tech stereotype, insecurity, prayer, volunteer care, gossip, leadership by influence, and the temptation to build a public platform while neglecting local ministry. Along the way, we offer worship and technical arts leaders an honest framework for evaluating their priorities and team culture.

We tackle a recurring church leadership tension: how should worship and production share a limited budget? Examining when technical systems should take priority over instruments, tracks, custom in-ears, and team expenses; why hidden infrastructure needs are difficult to communicate; and how equipment inventories, capital planning, and honest assessment can prevent emergency gear requests. This episode offers practical guidance for worship leaders, technical directors, and church executives who want to fund people and systems with greater clarity and stewardship.

Why worship leaders and church production teams often struggle to understand each other—and how shared purpose, stronger relationships, and a common language can close the gap. The conversation explores identity and status, vague creative feedback, unhealthy team culture, leadership responsibility, and the practical work required from musicians, audio engineers, and technical arts leaders to build trust and collaborate well.
