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.

We had the chance to sit down with the Red Rocks Worship crew during their album recording week in Denver CO this summer. Hear from their crew what makes RRW tick, and how spreading their ministry outside of the 4 walls of their church has come with its own set of challenges, but is all ultimately rooted in home.

We just dropped FIVE courses with RRW! We'll link them below so you can check them out!
