We are using Easy Worship to project lyrics etc in a live setting. Our Pastor uses a small wireless presentation remote (clicker) to advance his own slides during the sermon. We're also using OBS to stream live it's working great, all from one computer. The only problem is that when you move out of EW into OBS we lose the clicker control. Do you know of any way to "bind" the clicker to EW? (Windows 10). The only answer I can come up with is to use a separate computer for each program.

This isn't really an OBS-related issue, and is solidly outside of the scope of OBS support. You'd need to look into what kind of control commands the clicker is sending, and if EW can be set to use global hotkeys.
If OBS is run as Administrator, it can 'block' other programs from receiving hotkey presses while OBS is in-focus. The fix for that would be not running OBS as Admin, if you are.
You might also look for some sort of 'keep focus' application that will try to always keep a given application (like EW) as the active one, if you don't need to click out and work with OBS while the sermon is in progress (and possibly could use the obs-websockets plugin and t2t2 remote control interface for handling OBS-side control from a smartphone or tablet on the same LAN).
