Show notes

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.
