Excuse My Mediocrity

We’re coming in hot with a conversation that matters: excellence in church production and creative leadership.

Too often, mediocrity hides behind spiritual language. But let’s be real—excellence reflects the character of God. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intention, discipline, and grit. At Black Box, we don’t make excuses for half-effort. We sweat the small stuff because we believe worship deserves our best.

And we’re fired up to introduce Brian Tru—a new voice on the pod and a vital piece of the Black Box crew. Brian’s cut his teeth through every production role imaginable, from semis and stage plots to FOH and broadcast. He’s lived it all, never settled, and leads with quiet strength and clarity. On top of that, he’s rooted in the Gospel genre, bringing the heart and heritage of that sound into everything he touches.

This one’s for anyone who feels the tension between high standards and servant-hearted ministry. We don’t excuse mediocrity. We fight for better. Let’s move.
