5 Keys to Building a Thriving Business and a Thriving Family Can you really build a thriving business and a thriving family at the same time? It’s one of the most common and heartfelt questions I hear from entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, and anyone in high-demand leadership roles. The tension is real: if your business is booming but your family is struggling, you’ve lost what matters most. For faith-driven and value-driven leaders, our work is often our ministry—and when we pour ourselves into it fully, it’s all too easy to lose balance. After years of walking through this myself—sometimes failing and learning the hard way—I’ve discovered five essential principles that allow both your business and your family (or personal life) to thrive together. 1. Be Real – Honesty Builds a Strong Foundation When my husband and I were in the early years of raising children, life was already full. We had a toddler, a baby on the way, his business was growing, and he also volunteered to general contract a church building project. It sounded noble, but in reality? It was too much. We missed family dinners. Late nights became normal. Our kids felt the absence. When the project ended, we looked at each other and said, “We made the wrong call.” That honesty changed everything for us. From then on, we adopted the mindset of “No for now, not forever” —especially in seasons with small children, sleepless nights, and heavy demands. Being real meant setting boundaries and running every decision through the filter of “How will this impact our family?” 2. Be Consistent – Keep Your Word Consistency isn’t just good for business—it’s critical for relationships. If I tell my kids a call will take 20 minutes, but it consistently runs two hours, the message is clear: “Work comes first.” Instead, I’ve learned to: Set clear expectations (“This call will be 30 minutes, but it might be 45.”) Keep hard stops on my calendar. Allow exceptions only when absolutely necessary. Consistency teaches your family they can trust your word. It also models healthy boundaries for anyone who might follow in your footsteps—whether they’re your children, spouse, employees, or peers. 3. Be Intentional – Prove Your Priorities It’s one thing to say family comes first. It’s another to live it out . If I claim that my spouse or kids matter more than my work, my actions have to prove it. That might mean: Scheduling dinners and protecting them like important meetings. Ending calls on time—even if a client wants “just five more minutes.” Planning downtime and sticking to it. Intentionality means setting boundaries and following through. It also means recognizing when you’ve drifted and correcting quickly. 4. Be Fun – Show the Good Side of Business Too many kids grow up only hearing the struggles their parents face at work or in ministry. If we’re not careful, our family’s frame of reference for business becomes only the stress and challenges. Instead, we need to show the exciting parts: Celebrate wins together. Involve your kids in brainstorming ideas. Point out the freedom that comes from a well-run business (“We can drop everything and go to the lake because we’ve built flexibility into our work.”). For my oldest, just exploring what it would look like to buy a business that pays for her first car sparked excitement and big dreams. Business can—and should—be inspiring. 5. Be Brave – Face Fears and Embrace Change As entrepreneurs, we face fears all the time: What if this doesn’t work? What if I fail publicly? What if the risks don’t pay off? Here’s the truth: your greatest fears often hide your greatest growth. In 2024, some of my biggest fears became reality. Everything I didn’t want to happen… happened. But instead of breaking me, it made me stronger, more resilient, and more open to new opportunities. Bravery doesn’t mean you’re not afraid—it means you move forward anyway, trusting that God can use even the hardest seasons for good. Final Thoughts – Success Without Sacrifice You don’t have to choose between a thriving business and a thriving family. You can have both—but it requires intentional action. Remember these five keys: Be Real – Honesty about your limits keeps you grounded. Be Consistent – Your word builds trust. Be Intentional – Live out your stated priorities. Be Fun – Let your family experience the joy of your work. Be Brave – Face challenges head-on and grow through them. When you lead with these principles, you’ll find that both your business and your personal life flourish—without sacrificing one for the other.  Want More Faith-Driven Business Tools?

AI Is Taking Over the World: 4 Filters Every Value-Driven Entrepreneur Needs AI is taking over the world—and it’s happening faster than many of us ever expected. It’s exciting, terrifying, and at times confusing. If you’re a business owner who cares about people, values, and keeping your voice authentic, you might be wondering: Should I use AI or avoid it completely? The truth is, that’s the wrong question. AI isn’t going anywhere. You’re probably already using it in ways you don’t realize—through your phone, search engines, or smart devices. The better question is: “How is AI right for me and my business?” Before you hit generate on your next prompt, here are four powerful filters to help you harness AI without losing your values, creativity, or voice. 1. Be Smart – Use AI Intentionally AI is like the internet—it started out strange to many but quickly became part of everyday life. Avoiding it completely could leave you falling behind. Being smart with AI means figuring out how it can support you without replacing your unique gifts. Ask yourself: What business tasks drain my time and energy? Which repetitive processes could AI streamline? How can I use AI to free up space for higher-value work? Example uses: Organizing meeting notes Generating ideas for projects or campaigns Drafting outlines for content creation Don’t copy how everyone else uses AI—use it in ways that make sense for your workflow and your business model . 2. Be Safe – Protect Your Information With AI, safety is more than just an afterthought—it’s a necessity. Set up privacy settings on AI tools you use. In platforms like ChatGPT, turn off options that allow your data to be used to train the model. Avoid giving it: Personal information (like bank details) Sensitive client data Full proprietary works (like entire manuscripts or business plans) Instead, share only small, non-sensitive sections when asking for help. And if you have vulnerable people in your life (parents, grandparents, clients), teach them about AI scams like voice cloning or phishing attempts. AI can be a great assistant—but only if you guard your information wisely. 3. Be Creative – Feed AI With Your Voice AI works best when you give it more details, not fewer . A vague prompt will get you a vague, robotic answer. Instead, get creative: Include your brand voice, style, and examples of your past work. Use public information from your own website or social channels. Ask AI to generate ideas you can refine—not to create finished work for you. The goal? Let AI support your creativity, not replace it. When you feed it enough detail, AI becomes a powerful brainstorming partner that helps you work faster while still sounding like you . 4. Don’t Be Lazy – Keep Your Craft The biggest danger of AI isn’t that it will take your job—it’s that it could take your drive. If you let AI do all the heavy lifting, you risk losing touch with your own creative process. Over time, you may start sounding less like yourself and more like… well, a bot. Use AI as a support tool , not a crutch. Write first, then ask AI to refine. Generate ideas, but filter them through your values and experience. Keep the human element alive in your work. Because when you stop creating for yourself, you stop growing as a leader. Final Thoughts – AI and Values Can Coexist AI isn’t the enemy—it’s a tool. And like any tool, its value depends on how you use it . Remember these four filters before you hit generate : Be Smart – Use AI where it serves you. Be Safe – Protect personal and proprietary information. Be Creative – Infuse your voice and vision. Don’t Be Lazy – Stay engaged in your craft. When you combine the speed and efficiency of AI with the wisdom and discernment of a value-driven leader, you won’t just keep up—you’ll lead with purpose in a changing world.

Redefining Success: How Christian Leaders Should Really Measure Growth It's not just about revenue—it's about what really matters. In a world that constantly equates success with numbers, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that your only true metric of impact is revenue. But for Christian leaders and entrepreneurs, there's a deeper, more meaningful question to ask: What does success really look like through a Kingdom lens? Let’s break it down. What Gets Measured, Grows — So Measure What Matters We often start with revenue. And yes, it's necessary. Your business can't thrive without financial health. Setting revenue goals, tracking sales, and managing profitability are essential parts of the job. But if that's all you're measuring, you may be missing the bigger picture. “If we say something is important but don’t measure it, it doesn’t get the attention it needs.” So what else should we track? Personal Health Is Professional Strategy Burnout isn't a badge of honor. Yet countless Christian leaders sacrifice their health in the name of purpose. Start measuring what matters most in your personal life:  How many dinners you eat with your family each week How often you exercise How many nights you get 8+ hours of sleep How consistently you take Sabbath or personal rest These aren’t trivial—they’re foundational. Because when your life is thriving, your leadership will naturally follow. “All of those things in your personal life impact your business and professional life.” Success at Home Is Success in Ministry Let’s be real: if your family is struggling, your business or ministry "wins" will feel hollow. Leadership that glorifies God starts in the home. So how do you define success? Is your spouse thriving? Do your kids feel seen and loved? Are you leading from a place of peace or pressure? You’re not called to choose between fruitfulness and faithfulness—you were made for both. “If your home life is in shambles, the rest of it is tiny in comparison.” Reap What You Celebrate We’ve all heard, You reap what you sow. But what about this: You reap what you celebrate. That means if you only celebrate numbers—revenue, attendance, platform growth—that’s what your culture will chase. But if you celebrate things like: Healthy communication Spiritual growth Integrity in decision-making Team wins that reflect your values ...then that’s what you’ll begin to multiply. “You reap what you celebrate.” What you highlight, reward, and talk about matters. Make sure your team knows what success really means in your culture. Values Must Anchor Your Metrics Metrics without meaning are just noise. That's why your values have to shape what you measure, how you measure it, and what you celebrate. Ask yourself: What do we value here? Are we measuring things that reflect that? Are we consistent in celebrating what aligns with our mission? Whether it's customer service, team care, worship culture, or community impact—measure what aligns with your heart and God's purpose. A Kingdom Mindset for Measuring Success As a faith-driven leader, you're called to more than just results. You’re called to right results. The kind that flow from obedience, stewardship, and surrender. So yes—track revenue. Set goals. Build efficient systems. But don't forget to track joy. Track peace. Track presence. “Let your values fuel your growth so it’s not just about chasing a number—it’s about building a legacy.” Final Thoughts: Measure What Matters Most At the end of the day, true success is living a life aligned with God’s purpose and stewarding well what He’s placed in your hands. So ask yourself today: What am I measuring? What do I celebrate? And does any of it point to what God calls good ? Because success is more than sales—it’s a life well-lived and a mission faithfully pursued. Want More Faith-Driven Business Tools?

How to Lead as a Family in Ministry The Kennealys’ Story of Trust, Obedience, and Leading Together In the whirlwind of ministry life, it’s easy to assume that calling is an individual thing—that God speaks to one, and the rest simply follow. But what happens when calling becomes a family affair ? For the Kennealy family, ministry wasn’t something that happened in isolation. It was a shared journey of listening, surrendering, and walking in obedience—together. When Ministry Becomes a Family Assignment What started as a stirring in one heart quickly became a calling for all. The Kennealys didn’t pursue ministry independently—they walked it out in unity. The moment they felt the call to step deeper into ministry leadership, it was clear: this wasn’t just one person’s “yes.” It was a collective surrender. There was no perfect roadmap. Just prayer, open hands, and a deep trust that God would lead the way—even when the next steps weren’t clear. In their words, it was “a total faith walk,” often requiring them to move before the details made sense. But God always provided clarity after the obedience. “It’s not about waiting for a job description; it’s about responding to His invitation.” Leading in Sync Without Losing Identity In ministry, couples often serve side-by-side, but not always on the same page. The Kennealys flipped that script. Their partnership wasn’t just about logistics—it was deeply spiritual. They committed to checking in with each other regularly, asking: Are we aligned? Are we both thriving? Are we still called to this together? That intentionality built resilience. It also protected them from burnout or imbalance. They discovered that it’s possible to share ministry responsibilities without either spouse being lost in the shuffle. Instead of ministry pulling them apart, it actually became a source of unity. “We check in with each other often—not just about logistics, but about calling.” When Kids Are Part of the Calling Too For many ministry leaders, there’s tension around how to protect their kids from the weight of serving. But the Kennealys leaned into a different approach: bringing their kids into the calling. Their children serve on the worship team, run lights, and engage in the rhythms of ministry—not out of pressure, but invitation. Ministry has become a family culture, not a Sunday obligation. They’re not just raising worship leaders—they’re raising worshipers. “It’s about creating a culture where our kids feel like they’re a part of something eternal.” Making Room for God to Move Some of the most powerful moments came when they had to release control. Whether it was taking a new role without knowing the outcome or relocating for a new opportunity, the Kennealys continually modeled what it means to step forward in faith. Each decision was anchored in prayer, not preference. And every leap brought unexpected favor—not just in ministry growth, but in personal growth as well. “God meets us on the other side of obedience—every time.” Advice for Families in Ministry If you're serving in ministry as a couple—or navigating how to invite your family into it—the Kennealys offer this advice: Prioritize unity over perfection. You won’t always have it figured out, but stay connected. Keep the conversation going. Don’t assume the other person is still called—ask. Involve your kids early. Don’t wait until they’re old enough to lead; invite them to observe, pray, and participate. Say yes to God, even when the path isn’t clear. He’s faithful to lead step by step. Ministry Doesn’t Have to Divide Your Family The Kennealys’ story is proof that ministry doesn’t have to come at the cost of your family. In fact, it can be one of the most beautiful ways to grow together. When a family says yes to God, collectively and courageously, the ripple effect goes far beyond the church stage—it transforms the home, the kids, and the community. “Ministry didn’t pull us apart. It brought us closer to each other and to God.” Get to know the Kennealy's Josiah and Micah Kennealy are the founders of the nonprofit youngadutlstoday . Together they co-host the youngadults.today podcast designed for equipping individuals who are leading and volunteering with young adult ministries, college campuses and churches.

How to Be Rich in 2025 (The Faith-Driven Way) If you’re a Christian entrepreneur or faith-driven business leader, you’ve probably wrestled with this question: Is it bad to want to be rich? In 2025, with all the noise about get-rich-quick schemes and wealth at any cost, it’s easy to feel confused or even guilty about success. But let’s reframe the conversation. This isn’t about chasing money for money’s sake. It’s about learning how to be rich towards God —how to steward your blessings, build your business, and honor Him in the process. In this post, we’ll explore five powerful ways to be rich in 2025 , inspired by scripture and practical wisdom. Is It Wrong to Want to Be Rich? Let’s start with the real question—not “Is it wrong to want money?” but: How can I be rich towards God? Luke 12 teaches us about a farmer who stored up wealth for himself but forgot about eternal things: “This is how it will be for whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” It’s not wrong to be rich. The problem comes when we store up treasures on earth and forget about eternity. So what does it look like to be rich in 2025, in a way that honors God? Let’s break it down. 5 Ways to Be Rich in 2025 1. Be Honest If you have a home, family, community, and a job—you are rich. Let’s stop living in the gap between where we are and where we wish we were. Instead, measure backwards and recognize how far God has brought you. Richness isn’t just about dollars. It’s about love, relationships, and blessings we often overlook. 2. Be Grateful Gratitude is a key to true wealth. When we stop to see how God has answered prayers and opened doors—whether in business, family, or personal growth—we realize we’re living in miracles we once hoped for. Pause and reflect: Are you walking in answered prayer today? 3. Be Generous Generosity is one of the surest ways to experience real joy in your wealth. Even when we had little, our family made it a value to give first . God provided, over and over again. Everything you make isn’t for your consumption. When you give freely, you experience wealth that money alone can’t provide. 4. Be Wise Richness towards God means stewarding what you have . Ask yourself: How can I invest what I have in a way that honors God? Could I use my resources to create Kingdom impact? Whether it’s investing in income-producing assets or supporting ministries, wisdom turns wealth into worship. 5. Be Open-Handed The more tightly we cling to our stuff, the more it owns us. God blesses us so we can bless others. Teach your family (and remind yourself) that true wealth is about open hands—ready to give, ready to serve, ready to steward. Build Wealth That Lasts In 2025, there will be plenty of voices shouting about how to “get rich quick.” But here’s the truth: The real path to lasting wealth is being rich towards God —honest, grateful, generous, wise, and open-handed. These principles won’t just grow your finances. They’ll fill your heart, bless your family, and fuel your business with joy. Want More Faith-Driven Business Tools?

How to Recession-Proof Your Business in 2025 (The Faith-Driven Way) Don’t build for longevity in a storm—build before it hits. If you're a Christian entrepreneur wondering how to lead your business through economic uncertainty, you're not alone. In 2025, with headlines full of fear and markets shifting rapidly, it’s time to stop asking, “How do I survive a recession?” and start asking something better: How do I build for business longevity—on purpose, with purpose? In this blog, we’ll show you exactly how to do that using a 3-part strategy built for Christian business leaders. Let’s move beyond fear and into wisdom. Why “Recession-Proof” Is the Wrong Mindset Recession-proofing sounds like a crisis-mode strategy—like something you scramble to do when things go sideways. But true longevity? That’s built on intentional preparation , not panic. Just like in ministry, you don’t wake up 30 years in and decide to be healthy. You build rhythms of health from the beginning. The same is true in business. You don’t stumble into sustainability—it’s a strategy. That’s why we created the MAP Framework —a simple, three-part structure to guide you toward long-term resilience in business. The MAP Framework for Business Longevity M = Market Clarity A = Audit Often P = Purposeful Systems Let’s break it down. M — Market Clarity You must know exactly who you serve and what they need—not just today, but months and years from now. When you’re unclear, crisis mode will tempt you to serve everyone , slash prices, create random products, and burn out trying to please the crowd. Instead, build clarity now: Who do you serve? How long will they need you? Will you grow with them or serve a specific season? 🎯 Longevity requires market clarity , not reactive chaos. A — Audit Your Processes Often As your business grows, your systems, offers, and strategies must evolve. But how often do we actually stop to ask: Is this still working? Or better yet: Does this still serve our why? Audit everything: Products SOPs Offers Launch strategies Don’t cling to what's familiar. Ask: Does this align with our purpose? Is it moving us toward future growth? Or is it just comfortable? If it doesn’t serve your why —let it go. P — Purposeful Systems There’s no shortage of pretty systems and color-coded spreadsheets. But the question is—do they actually work? Are they used ? Are they helping you lead from peace instead of overwhelm? If it’s too complicated to use, it’s useless. If it doesn’t align with your values, it’s a distraction. Your systems must simplify, not stifle. They should serve your God-given purpose , not just your routine. Zoom out, simplify, and build systems that last—because when crisis hits, you don’t want to fix your processes then . You want them ready now. Wisdom Over Fear: Leading Through Economic Uncertainty The world is full of fear: inflation, tariffs, interest rates, economic instability. But as faith-driven leaders, we’re called to lead from wisdom, not panic. Preparation isn’t fear—it’s stewardship. Longevity isn’t luck—it’s leadership. The businesses that thrive are the ones that prepare. So start now. MAP your longevity . Build clarity. Refine your systems. Create with purpose. You don’t need to be perfect—just proactive.

Final Thoughts Don’t wait for the storm to start building wisely. Whether you call it recession-proofing or just wise stewardship, here’s what matters: Clarity over chaos Purpose over panic Systems that serve your why You were made for longevity. So lead like it. Let’s build something that lasts—together.

Is It Wrong to Scale Your Business as a Christian Entrepreneur? Have you ever wondered if it’s wrong to want to grow your business as a Christian? If scaling, expanding, or dreaming big somehow feels like a spiritual red flag—you’re not alone. Many faith-driven entrepreneurs wrestle with this tension. We want to grow, but we don’t want to chase worldly success. We want to make money, but we don’t want it to become our idol. We want to build something meaningful, but we’re not always sure if we’re allowed to want more. Let’s talk about it. Asking “Is Growth Wrong?” Is the Wrong Question If you’ve asked yourself, “Is it bad to want to grow my business?” , that’s actually a good sign. It shows humility. It means your heart is in the right place. But here’s the truth: that’s not the only question you should be asking. A better question—the one that actually leads to clarity—is this: Why do you want to grow? If your only reason is “to make more money,” you’ll hit a wall. You’ll burn out. You’ll feel empty. Because we were never designed to be fueled by profit alone. But if your growth is driven by purpose, calling, and impact , everything changes. Purpose-Driven Growth Starts with Your Why At Overflow Worship, we talk a lot about the power of a multi-layered why. Your why has to go deeper than money. Deeper than success. Even deeper than comfort. So ask yourself: Is my why tied to family —creating freedom and margin for the ones I love? Is my why tied to a cause —funding something that matters beyond myself? Is my why tied to Kingdom impact —using my influence to support ministry and mission? For our family, it’s all three. We’re passionate about building the Church—locally and globally. We support ministries that build churches in Africa, children’s programs in the U.S., and leaders right here at home. That’s why we work hard. That’s why we build. So the question isn't “Is it wrong to want more?” The better question is: “How does my growth allow me to give more?” Watch Out for Hustle Culture Hustle culture tells you to work for the grind, the flex, and the shiny life. But as Christian entrepreneurs, we build with eternal value in mind. There’s nothing wrong with wanting the house, the vacation, or the nice car. But if that’s your only reason for grinding… you’ll find yourself drained and disconnected. Instead, remember: Everything we make is not for our consumption. What will your success allow you to give? Who will it allow you to serve? How will it help you point people to Jesus? Fueling the Future of the Church Through Business At Overflow Worship, our dream is to reach one million people with the gospel—and we believe business is a tool God can use to get us there. When you build something sustainable… When you lead people with excellence… When you live generously… …you create a ripple effect that can impact the future of the Church . As we always say: The future depends on the leaders we develop today. That includes you. Final Thoughts — Define Your Multi-Layered Why If you're feeling tired, uncertain, or burnt out—pause and reset. Ask yourself the deeper questions: Why do I do what I do? What’s the impact I want to make? Who will benefit if I don’t quit? You were made for more than hustle. You were made to lead. And when your why is rooted in faith, impact, and legacy— you’ll have the strength to keep going , even when it’s hard. Join the Overflow Worship Community You weren’t meant to build alone.

Being a Christian business owner in today’s world isn’t easy. You’re navigating an endless stream of noise—economic uncertainty, social pressure, and spiritual resistance—while still trying to build something meaningful. And if you’ve ever found yourself searching for a “sermon on starting a business” or wondering if you’re doing this whole thing right... you’re not alone. As faith-driven entrepreneurs , we’re looking for more than hype. We want biblical clarity , practical strategy, and community. That’s why today, we’re breaking down three foundational things every Christian business owner must do to survive —and thrive. 1. Celebrate the Unseen Let’s be honest: there aren’t awards for late nights, silent prayers, or spreadsheet marathons. There’s no applause for showing up faithfully when no one’s watching. But it matters. The unseen work is Kingdom work. Whether it’s emails at midnight, the prayers before meetings, or the grit behind growth—God sees it all. And if you don’t take time to celebrate the unseen, you’ll start to feel invisible in your own journey. That’s why we talk so much about measuring backward at Overflow Worship. Instead of obsessing over where you haven’t arrived, take a moment to remember how far you’ve come. Chances are, you’re living today in the answered prayers of five years ago. So celebrate it. Mark the wins—even the quiet ones. 2. Remember Your Why If your business is going to survive the pressure of today’s world, you need more than vision—you need deep-rooted purpose. Why do you do what you do? Why did God put this business on your heart? What’s the impact you hope to make? For me, it’s about my family. It’s about freedom, discipleship, and margin. But even more than that, it’s about empowering others to step into their calling and build something that changes lives. When your why is clear, you’ll have focus even when the world around you is falling apart. Print it. Frame it. Write it on your wall.  Let it guide your decision-making, your schedule, your sacrifices. 3. Find Genuine Community Here’s the truth: entrepreneurship can be deeply lonely —especially in the faith-based space. You’re carrying vision no one else can see. You’re solving problems no one else understands. And you're often doing it quietly, without fanfare. But the isolation will crush you if you don’t fight it. Don’t wait for community to find you. Go find it. Connect with like-minded believers. Join a mastermind. Start a prayer group. DM someone you admire. Surround yourself with people who get it —who can both celebrate your wins and hold space for your setbacks. At Overflow Worship, this is what we’re all about. We don’t just create content—we build community for Christian leaders, worshipers, and entrepreneurs who are building for the Kingdom. Want Support as a Christian Entrepreneur? You're not meant to build alone. That’s why we invite you to join the Overflow Worship newsletter —our way of equipping you with short, powerful, and actionable tools for your leadership journey. 📬 Subscribe here to get encouragement, strategies, and support sent straight to your inbox. We're in this with you. Final Thoughts If you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or just plain tired, remember: Celebrate the unseen —God sees what no one else does. Remember your why —your calling is bigger than profit. Find community —you were never meant to do this alone. You were created to lead. And the future depends on the leaders we develop today . Let’s build boldly. Let’s build with faith.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Overflow Worship | www.overflowworship.com Overflow Worship is proud to announce the release of its brand-new original Christmas comedy series, “The Church” —a three-part, mockumentary-style show that takes a hilarious and heartfelt look behind the curtain of church ministry during the busiest time of the year. Created in the spirit of shows like The Office , The Church brings the camera into the week-to-week chaos of a local church staff as they prepare for their biggest event of the year: the Christmas Eve service. But behind the funny moments, awkward team dynamics, and questionable gift exchanges lies a deeper message—one that points back to the simplicity and power of the gospel at Christmas. "It’s easy to get caught up in production, planning, and trying to please everyone—especially at Christmas,” said the Overflow Worship team. “This series is a humorous reminder that in the middle of all the chaos, we’re called to keep the main thing the main thing—Jesus." 🧑‍🎄 The Office Meets Worship Ministry The story follows Ben , a new worship leader hired to bring fresh energy and modern ideas to a tradition-rich church. As he tries to balance choir expectations, budget limitations, and a tech director with strong opinions about fog machines and pre-recorded tracks, Ben quickly learns that fitting in—and standing firm—are equally challenging. Every character in The Church is exaggerated just enough to feel familiar to anyone who's served on a church team. From the high-strung event coordinator to the no-nonsense secretary to the busy tech director with too many opinions, the staff is full of heart, dysfunction, and a desire to do something meaningful. 🙏 Featuring Brian Tabor of Worship Probs One of the many Easter eggs in the series is the appearance of Pastor Greg , played by Brian Tabor , the real-life host of the popular Christian podcast Worship Probs . Known for his hilarious “Prayer Concerns” segment, Brian brings his signature dry humor and leadership insight to the role. In fact, the show goes a step further—integrating actual Worship Probs content. Every comment card read aloud in the team meetings is real —submitted by actual church attendees and previously shared on the Worship Probs podcast . These moments give the show an added layer of authenticity and relatability, especially for church leaders who’ve read a few wild cards themselves. ❄️ A Christmas Story That Feels All Too Real From glitter-covered classrooms and snow machines gone rogue to the operatic soloist who insists on singing " Mary Did You Know" (again), The Church explores the humorous tension between honoring tradition and making space for something new. Viewers will resonate with the real ministry dynamics: The pressure to impress while staying focused on Jesus The struggle to introduce innovation without alienating the congregation The behind-the-scenes exhaustion of staff trying to “make Christmas perfect” The relationships that are messy, but rooted in genuine love for the Church It all builds to a final Christmas Eve service that, despite the hiccups, captures what matters most: hope, worship, community, and the simple truth that Jesus came for us . 🎁 A Gift to Worship Teams Everywhere The Church isn’t just for laughs—it’s a celebration of church staff and volunteers who give everything they have to serve during the Christmas season.  The series is meant to affirm the unseen work of ministry teams and remind them that in the middle of all the noise, Jesus is still at the center. Whether you’re a worship leader, tech volunteer, kids director, or coffee team hero, The Church was made for you. 🎬 Watch the Full Series Now Watch all three episodes of The Church now on Overflow Worship’s official YouTube channel: 👉 youtube.com/@overflowworshipofficial Make sure to like, comment, and share —especially with your church staff, worship team, or anyone who needs a laugh and a reminder that they’re not alone.
