Why Excellence in Worship Is a Lie w/ Stephen Brewster

What if everything you've been told about "excellence" in worship is actually holding your church back? In this episode, Stephen Brewster shares a perspective that might challenge everything you've built your ministry around: excellence isn't the goal—authenticity is. From leading creative teams at high-impact churches to working with groups like Elevation Worship and SEU Worship, Stephen reveals why chasing production value, trends, and comparison can quietly disconnect you from what actually matters—ministering to your people.
