Podcast Episode 199: The Biggest Temptation in Rock Development and RX25 Countdown Published Sep 15, 2025 In this episode of Rock Cast, Emily, Jon, and Nick discuss whatʼs new in the v17.5 Alpha Release and how to be fully prepared for RX25! Then they dive into one of the biggest temptations in Rock development, unpacking four powerful mindsets to turn it into a leadership opportunity. This temptation often comes at a cost - making Rock harder to test, confusing new churches, and unintentionally enabling poor ministry practices. We often fall into this pattern for two main reasons: to appease everyone or because we're married to old routine ways. As Jon puts it, “Software should enable healthy processes, not institutionalize dysfunction.” The solution is to invest in vision casting and mission alignment. By focusing on these, leaders can create clarity, build trust, and guide their teams toward long-term ministry health. Give this episode a listen to prepare for RX25 and get inspired to cast vision!
