In this episode Julie talks about going through your song database: you do not owe it to anyone to keep a historical database of every song you have ever led.

I also mention in the intro that we have a new puppy in the Englerth house! Her name is Scout, she's a 9 week old Springer Spaniel and she is so darling! As always, you can follow and review on your streaming platform, and I'd also love it if you'd follow me on instagram @thehealthyworshipteam or email me: [email protected]. See you soon!If this was helpful, please subscribe wherever you stream, and you can email us with any questions or comments at [email protected].

In this episode, Julie gets real about our own personal responsibility when it comes to identifying the patterns and problems we see in our team. It's so tempting to look at our senior leaders and say that because they won't green light something, we are held back, or to look down to our team and say "if they would just do what I say, we wouldn't have any problems!" When we get real about our own role we play in the patterns that we live in, we can really start to pull apart the problems and be part of the solution. If this was helpful, please subscribe wherever you stream, and you can email us with any questions or comments at [email protected].
