Exposing the Green Room Effect: Why We Say NO to Celebrity Church Culture | S6 E7

The Family Business with The Alessis

Is celebrity church culture destroying the spirit of serving others in ministry?
And how do we protect our own ministry and family from this destructive mindset?
In this episode, discover how the Alessis have avoided falling prey to feelings of entitlement as pastors and worship leaders, as they share personal anecdotes and insights about the importance of stepping out of comfort zones in ministry to build valuable relationships and support systems.
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.

That post, and the recent events at the GMA Dove Awards simply uncovered a lot of controversy that is happening behind the scenes in many prominent churches.
As veterans in the ministry and recording industry, the Alessis have witnessed the tendency of musicians and artists to become entitled and covetous of special treatment, and you'll learn how to keep that mentality out of your family ministry, church, or staff as a church leader.
