Matt McCoy lived in that pressure too. He admits there was a season he cared more about the music than his band, hard on volunteers for missing a fill, and he says he burned people out doing it. In this conversation, you'll hear why tracks quietly became a way to replace people instead of free them, and how to fix it. You'll get the one band conversation that changes everything: asking your guitarist what they actually worked on this week before you mute or keep a track. You'll also hear the reframe that reorders your whole week: if it's ever music versus people, people win . Matt is the founder of Loop Community, creator of the Looptimus pedal, and now president of CCLI. If this one hit a nerve, Worship Online gives your team a system to learn their parts at home so rehearsal becomes refining, not reteaching. That frees you to pour into people instead of fixing parts.
