The MxU Podcast

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.

Most churches don’t have a tech problem… They have a hiring problem. In this episode, we break down why so many churches choose the wrong technical leaders—and how it creates burnout, constant turnover, weak volunteer teams, and weekend chaos. Whether you’re hiring a full-time tech director or trying to place the right volunteer leader, these are the red flags, the must-ask questions, and the leadership values you cannot afford to ignore.

When church leaders never set limits, burnout becomes normal, families suffer, and volunteers copy the same unhealthy patterns. In this episode, we’re talking about the cost of saying yes too often — and why healthy boundaries might be the most spiritual thing you can build into your leadership.
