Why do we refuse to embrace celebrity church culture in our family and our ministry? It's because we've seen the damage it can do to those that are served by our "business"... our church.

This episode was inspired by the backlash received by speaker, author and worship leader Natalie Runion, founder of the "Raised to Stay" platform when she pointed out the hypocrisy of pastors and worship leaders staying enclosed in green rooms instead of engaging in worship services and connecting with the congregation.

As veterans in the ministry and recording industry, the Alessis have witnessed the tendency of musicians, worship leaders and ministers to feel entitled to special treatment in church, and you'll learn how to keep that mentality out of your family ministry, church, or staff as a church leader.
