Is Social Media Good for Church Tech?
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

This Is Why You’re Done With Ministry
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. But before you make a decision that impacts your family, your faith, and your future, slow down and listen to this conversation.Check out our free Volunteer Development Toolkit: https://getmxu.com/resources/volunteer-development-toolkit/?utm_campaign=done-ministryFREE 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_campaign=done-ministryIMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES🎓 1,000+ Training Videos: https://getmxu.com/training?utm_campaign=done-ministry🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool: https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_campaign=done-ministry🚀 Personalized Coaching: https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_campaign=done-ministryJOIN 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_campaign=done-ministry
