@@AlbertaRose94 lol! It's not always like that, as a matter of fact, my experience is when you join a good team, the unity and connection it's purely spiritual. You communicate with each other without even seeing or saying anything, or even rehearsing it. It all comes from the heart. I've been blessed to be apart of two teams now that this is the case. Trust me you know when the holy spirit Is anointing the team, and when it's just people and their problems playing. You can feel it from the seats in the congregation. When the Holy Spirit is not there, you get what this video and what im joking about. It definitely happens out there
@@kaihlmeades I have attended/served at a large church in the past, and this is literally how it was run. I'm not about to call out the church hee on RUclips because it has been a few years and it might have changed, IDK. I do know that, in my experience with smaller churches, you don't run into these things as much.
@@LvL_99_Red_Chocobo appreciate that! Check out the channel sometime. I'm going to film something tonight about the biblical perspective on UFOs and aliens!
This was seriously hysterical!! I was stomping the floor the entire time. I lead worship and we have the somebody like that who wanted to join the worship team... My mic when I'm not leading gets muted or I'm turned down and my name is Chris too and I've been back on worship for like 3 years! 😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😭😭💀
@@lindseyhussey6450 Well we stream so sometimes the person who controls the mics on the sound system doesn't turn the mics on I'm muted. Turning down they say I sing too loud 😂😂
@@picantesworld7723Thanks, I was wondering because my church does the same thing. you can usually only hear the leads which is like 3 people may 4 but there is usually and additional 3 to 5 people that you can't hear at all. I wondered why even have the others up there lol, thanks for the insight

This is LITERALLY what is wrong with the American church 🤦 all about me, me, me.....platforms and performances. Jesus? What does he have to do with it?
@@malibudolphin3109 I wouldnt say purely Protestantism...Catholicism has a lot of the same issues too! "Religion" period...makes it all about self and not about Jesus. Its Him who should be lifted up not ourself or denomination or culture.
I've been blessed so much by the American church where I am so this is not accurate...besides He is in us so "when then they see me they will see you" song by Sal Ly
What I mean by "American" church is the American culture of promoting "me and money" instead of the Kingdom culture of promoting Jesus and our need of a savior. There are many churches here in America that are kingdom minded and I am glad you found one!
yikes soooo true. Always amazed me how the worship team never sat in on the sermon or barely even knew their bible. Best part is pre soundchecks. They would be fighting with each other but then say the old “Its such a blessing to be here with this amazing team.”
@@Arp477 It always amazes me. I have worked before at a large church and others as well. I have always noticed how the younger worship members are always thinking they are above everyone
The musicians would never stay for the sermon. I wasn't sure if they were members somewhere else and just working for our church. But it's an important job. I want to know they are fed spiritually too .. somewhere.
The greenroom is the most accurate thing it's the worship team on their phones drinking coffee and they only watch to see when they have to come back up
What even is a green room? I come from a 500 people church in Germany and our musicians sit in the front rows, close to the instruments and participate as anyone else. I'm quite amazed by the scale of the American churches
@@DJSudermann I literally just left a giant church and we moved to our old one because this is how they are a green room is just a room with couches usually surrounding a tv that plays the sermon it has a bunch of iPhone and laptop chargers there is usually food and coffee and water for the worship team I have no idea why it’s called the green room but generally they all look like that
A green room is a term from Hollywood... It's where talent (actors/singers) sit and wait to go on stage, a room where they can relax. There are snacks and drinks inside or nearby.
I found this really weird. I go to a fairly large church and the worship team comes and sits with everyone when they are done and go back up when it's time.
@@Arp477 yep but it goes even further back though. The origin is lost to history but some stories date back as far as 1599 London and Blackfriars theatre.
.... aaaaand THIS is absolutely brilliancy. Gotta love tongue in cheek humor while actually addressing some the serious issues with religion. (Not the Church with a capital ‘C’ lol)
This is why when we church shopped, before we converted to orthodoxy, we stopped telling the churches about our skills ot talents. Guess what we found out, if you don't take the fast track to the church click they don't have a place for you
We had started to leave the church parking lot when I said “We have to go back, I forgot my Bible.” My husband kept driving and said “You’ll be back tomorrow morning to teach Sunday School, just pick it up.” I replied “Remember that Pastor Bingo Game I made?” 😁 I discovered how quickly one can make a U-turn in a Sierra.
I was on a worship team in Montana with a kid who played guitar. The sound guys never turned him on in the house, only in our monitors. When we all found that out the kid left the church.
That’s true about not knowing when to go back out. We had an interim pastor that would frequently catch us off guard with his abrupt endings to a sermon. 😂
More more more....can’t wait to see the reveal at the end of this series.....I’d love to see one of the men’s breakfast meetings aka “early morning prayer” ....and one of the church secretary.
I'm amazed that this is how it is. In my (modern) church the worship team (or one person) sits in front and sometimes leads the meeting too, before the preacher comes on. I am a part of the screen team and those who need it gets an outline of the sermon and often it says "musicians can go up", sometimes the preacher tells the musicians to go up and sometimes s/he says "when I start this story, you can come". We even have a schedule that everyone gets that's not set in stone, but shows the main order of the service. I thought that that was the most "American" thing of all I have mentioned above, but I guess not.
“Jesus welcomed everyone and I get that... But we don’t”🤣🤣
I need that on T-shirts
I was stomping the floor to this entire video 😂🤣😂😂
So true....
That’s why I don’t go to church as much anymore. I still go, but not as much as i used to.
As a Worship Pastor’s kid I can relate, this always happens 😂
The longer the scarf, the more spiritual the worship leader is
Best comment! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That scarf had me dead 🤣😭🤣
JESUS CHRIST Loves you! Turn to HIM
And the more tight his skinny jeans are.
"We don't even have his microphone on,"
I DIED-
been in a church that does this!
My previous church did that but it was because she was such a good singer she didn’t need it
"Its actually hilarious "
This never happens when I’m on sound 🤫
happened to my friend at a big Christian college in LA cuz she had the “aesthetic”. Crazy thing is she can actually sing.
These undercover pastor videos are too real to be funny 😳
Yes, I agree. I can’t even laugh during these videos because they make me sad
Exactly! The whole time I’m like “ooooohh that’s not good.” 😬
Too real to be funny should become a thing.
I agree and I'm seeing it more and more lately.
Having attended a church like this one... yeah, it hits a little too close to home.
It actually hurts a little because some church are actually like this.
Many Churches are like this
That’s the joke
Yeah all his videos about church are funny cause they're true lol but I mean he's raising awareness haha.
Thats his low-key way of criticising/raising awareness of modern, "cool-church" demerits.
Every big Non-denominational church is like this. The church I used to go to would run every new singer on mute for the first 6 months to test them.
"We don't have his microphone on"
Yup! I understand that! 😂 Sometimes it's the best thing to do. God said make a joyful noise.....He never said we had to amplify it😬😂
😂😂😂
This comment is savage 😂😂😂
Same goes for some guitar players.......they're heard by us in the monitors, but be glad y'all ain't hearing that mess in the mix out there...whew congregation would scatter quicker than when the pastor invited Kenny Copeland to speak at the revival
ROFL!!!! That’s why as much as I love worship music, I will never be on stage.

as a member of the worship team, this is so accurate it hurt
Yeah me too, time to repent
This series is basically 100% accurate at big churches and kinda shows how messed up the modern church has become
They are becoming caricatures of themselves...
That's why I don't attend a mega-Church

“I figured that everyone would be back here taking notes.”
“HA! Nope we usually just go to Starbucks.”
I know ryt!! happened at my church so many times
I'm surprised that the church doesn't have their own coffee station
When the Pastor's pants are tighter than his grip of theology, you get this 😂
Seriously though, need to create Pastor Bingo for every church 🤣🤣🤣
I know right? That actually seems like a good idea
Agreed!
Or a 50/50 raffle on how many times Pastor will say "Lord" during a single prayer.
i prefer this over the actual show

That’s true about not knowing when to go back out. We had an interim pastor that would frequently catch us off guard with his abrupt endings to a sermon. 😂
