    #184 - What Makes a Church Authentic?

    In this week’s episode of the MxU Podcast, we dive deep into the concept of authenticity within the church. What does it truly mean for a church to be authentic, and how can we discern the genuine from the performative? Join the guys as they explore the nuances of authenticity in worship and community life, discussing real-life examples and personal experiences along the way. Instead of providing a checklist, we invite you to reflect on the qualities that contribute to an authentic church environment. From the heart of the worship experience to the transparency of leadership, we tackle the subtle signs that indicate whether a church is truly living out its values. Whether you’re a worship leader, tech team member, or churchgoer, this conversation will inspire you to think critically about what authenticity looks like in your own community.
