If your church feels disengaged during worship, the problem probably isn’t your setlist — it’s the relationship gap between the stage and the seats. In this episode of the MxU Podcast, Spencer and Dillan break down why relational leadership before the first song is the real key to engagement. You’ll learn how to use the margin after soundcheck to connect with your church in simple, powerful ways that build trust and transform the room. Worship leadership doesn’t start on stage — it starts in the lobby.

In this video, we’re talking about why so many teams lose their spiritual edge (without even realizing it) — and how to change it before your team culture goes downhill.
