Called to Music — The Podcast for Christian Indie Artists, Worship Leaders, Songwriters and Producers
Called to Music is for everyone God called to music.
Whether you're leading worship every Sunday, writing songs in your home studio, producing tracks, or releasing music independently, this show is for you.
Hosted by Bryan Boliver, each episode goes deep on the real journey of following a creative calling in faith. The highs, the hard seasons, the pressure to pick one lane, and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to fit in a box God never put you in.
Because you were never meant to fit in just one lane.
New episodes every other week.

Do Less, Lead Better with Teel Merrick of Worship Admin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Teel Merrick found his way into worship leading because his youth pastor left him no choice. Fast forward to today — he’s the guy helping worship leaders and volunteers stop drowning in Planning Center so they can actually get to Thursday with margin left.
In this conversation Teel and I talk about:
- How God opened a door through a failed theme park purchase (yes, really)
- Why practical content beats inspirational content every time
- Periscope learning — his framework for getting better at skills without burning out
- AI in worship ministry — where it helps and where it can’t replace you
- Why less is the future of worship music
- Preferences vs. values — and why mixing them up will get you in trouble fast
- The insane volume of worship music being released and what it’s doing to local churches
Teel runs Worship Admin on Instagram and is one of those rare voices that’s just trying to help — no fluff, no paywall, just practical stuff you can use this week.
