Description

Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes at Christian award shows—and what happens when ministry collides with business and industry? 

In this episode, we dive deep into the debate around worship music award shows and whether Christian artists should receive recognition for their talents. Plus, we get real about the unspoken rules of honorariums for guest speakers and evangelists—who really deserves to be compensated, and where’s the line between blessing and business?

From hilarious outfit shopping in Greece (with a few family secrets spilled!) to hot takes on the true cost of ministry, your hosts Steve and Mary Alessi don’t hold back sharing what actually happens in the business of sharing the faith.
