The MxU Podcast

In the early days, this community felt like a table everyone wanted a seat at.Over time, that same table started to feel exclusive — even unintentionally.In this episode, we talk candidly about the tension that comes with growth, nostalgia, and change. Why some people feel more helped than ever, while others feel left behind. How a movement built on skill, access, and aspiration can accidentally create an us vs. them culture. And why shifting toward serving more churches — not just the most visible ones — was an intentional choice.This is a conversation about identity, community, and asking a hard but necessary question:Are we building something that inspires a few — or something that actually helps many?Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tableFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=table&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=table&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=table&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=table&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=table&utm_medium=social

Are churches addicted to “new”?New series. New set. New songs. New service times. New gear.We chase fresh ideas hoping they’ll fix what’s broken — but sometimes the cost is stability, people, and foundational health.In today’s episode, we talk honestly about the tension between creativity and consistency. When should you innovate? When should you slow down? And how do you lead a team that needs both fresh vision and steady rhythms without burning out volunteers in the process?Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=addictedFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=addicted&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=addicted&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=addicted&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=addicted&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=addicted&utm_medium=social

Worship teams have never been more skilled — yet many feel thinner, more fragile, and harder to sustain. In this conversation, we unpack the unintended cost of building worship ministries around skill first, and why excellence alone can’t carry the weight of leadership, culture, and discipleship.We talk honestly about when contractors help or hurt, how expectations get misaligned, and why worship leaders often feel stuck between sounding great and shepherding people well. This isn’t a critique of skill — it’s a challenge to lead it wisely.Check out our free Volunteer Development Toolkit: https://getmxu.com/resources/volunteer-development-toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=talentFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=talent&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=talent&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=talent&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=talent&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=talent&utm_medium=social

Church tech and worship leaders are navigating a new tension:faithfulness vs visibility.In this episode, we talk honestly about influencer culture in church tech, why social media feels louder than ever, and how easy it is to confuse platform with impact. We explore what actually builds healthy teams, how insecurity shows up in subtle ways, and why serving well in the local church still matters more than being seen.This isn’t an anti-social-media conversation — it’s a clarifying one.Check out our free Volunteer Development Toolkit: https://getmxu.com/resources/volunteer-development-toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=influencerFREE RESOURCES🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):  https://getmxu.com/resources?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=socialIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos:  https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=social🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool:  https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=social🚀 Personalized Coaching:  https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=socialJOIN THE COMMUNITY📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/mxurocks/🤝 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/MxUrocksWHAT IS MxU?MxU is an online training platform for church leaders to train and equip their worship and tech volunteers:  https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=influencer&utm_medium=social
