Question about whether to stay in a church that uses materials from false teachers.

If a church promotes false teachers' books, has them guest speak, or quotes their sermons, the church effectively becomes the false teacher. But music is a nuanced case. Example: Bethel Music has some theologically sound songs and some problematic ones. Mike notes that for some people the music is harmless; for others it is a gateway into Bethel's school and teaching ecosystem. This depends on context and individual risk.
