Bad attitudes on worship teams aren't a personality problem — they're a leadership and systems problem.In this episode, we explore why worship teams become frustrated or disengaged, what's actually causing it beneath the surface, and how leaders can create a healthier culture without pushing people harder.If your team's attitude feels off, this episode will help you diagnose why.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=attitudeFREE RESOURCES

Most churches don't measure their worship or tech teams — they just feel when something is off.That's the problem.In this episode, we break down why worship and production ministries struggle with inconsistency and how to fix it using three measurable pillars: Quality, Consistency, and Care.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=qsFREE RESOURCES

In this episode of the MXU Podcast, the team breaks down the production, worship, and leadership habits that look impressive online—but quietly hurt volunteer teams, the room, and long-term sustainability.From designing moments for algorithms instead of congregations, to confusing excellence with complexity, this conversation challenges leaders to rethink what actually matters if we want worship teams that are still healthy years from now.This isn't about being critical for the sake of it—it's about building worship and production cultures that are healthy, scalable, and still around in 2027 and beyond.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=leaveFREE RESOURCES

Is Instagram shaping church leadership more than we realize?More and more church advice is coming from people with platforms — not necessarily people who share the same realities as most churches. What happens when the loudest voices represent the smallest slice of the Church?In this episode, we talk honestly about how Instagram has become an exit ramp for church leaders, how “public figure” status quietly redefines authority, and why so much online advice feels disconnected from the day-to-day realities of the average church.This isn't about calling out individuals or vilifying large churches. It's about asking better questions:Who is the advice actually for?Who is being helped?And who might be unintentionally discouraged?Most churches don't have massive budgets, large staffs, or cutting-edge gear — and that doesn't make them unhealthy or behind. It just means the conversation needs more context.Check out our FREE Team Night Guide: https://getmxu.com/resources/team-night-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=smallsolutionsFREE RESOURCES

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

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

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

Have you ever felt your routine fall apart during the holidays and immediately assumed your progress was slipping? The mix of travel, heavier meals and unpredictable schedules can make your body feel different fast, but those shifts are not the setback your mind tells you they are.In this episode we talk about how your strength responds during chaotic seasons, why momentum matters more than perfect structure and how small anchors like movement snacks, protein and hydration keep you connected to yourself when everything else feels messy.We also break down the body image triggers that tend to show up this time of year. Lighting, angles, outfits and family comments can activate old beliefs quickly, and learning how to pause and reframe those moments helps you stay grounded instead of spiraling.If you want a clearer way to move through holiday chaos with confidence, calm and a lot less fear of starting over, this conversation will meet you right where you are and give you tools you can use immediately.

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

So many worship leaders, tech directors, and church staff are wrestling with the same question:“Should I leave my church?”In this episode, we get brutally honest about the emotions, the pressure, the conflict, and the confusion that come with deciding whether to stay, leave, or step out of ministry altogether. We talk about hardened hearts, over-spiritualizing decisions, the role of the Holy Spirit, how negativity spreads, and what it actually looks like to leave a church well.If you're frustrated, burnt out, or feeling that pull to move on—you're not crazy, and you're not alone.

On today's episode, I share personal stories and my own processes of attracting and calling in new homes and residences. Over the past fifteen years, I have moved 12 times - no small feat. Naturally, during Eclipse Season, a common fear I work with clients is the unknown of moving (whether that by moving out from the security of their parent's home, moving after a separation, or simply moving due to perusing their a dream opportunity.) So, if after this most recent Eclipse Season (or whenever this episode crosses your path) you are also contemplating a move but are anxious around calling in exactly what you want, this episode will serve you well.  When it comes to Home/Real Estate/Rental stories and limiting beliefs, I have heard them all. Thus, I wanted to share my own personal experiences so you are aware that the impossible and miraculous is most certainly possible.  So, let's dive in - shall we?  *** Additional Resources: Join The Alchemy Point, SWA's Online Community: https://stillwateralchemy.com/products/the-alchemy-point Inquire about 1-1 Reach Out for Personalized Coaching & Mentorship: https://stillwateralchemy.com/pages/contact-page Book a 1-1 Reading: https://stillwateralchemy.com/collections/frontpage ***
