It’s hard to believe it’s been a year already. Actually, it’s been a little longer—the first post on this little old site was March 6, 2007. Fittingly, this is post 100. In March of 2007, I was really excited that I had something like 70 visitors to the blog. This March will be the first [...]

Willow Arts Conference
Last year was my first visit to the Willow Creek Arts Conference. I was jaded going in and blown away leaving. I’m excited to be able to go again this year. A few weeks back they announced that Brian McClaren would be speaking, and earlier this week, the breakout session registration opened up. There are [...]
Church Leaders–You’re Killing Us!
Building on the popular, Worship Leaders, You’re Killing Us (it was the most read and most commented on post to date), this post flows from a conversation I had last week with a guy named Bill. I’ve been thinking about this topic for some time, but it was this conversation that was the catalyst for [...]
New Tricks for Old Light Boards
Here’s a few quick tips that made our lighting a little more interesting this weekend. We’re currently in a series called I AM, examining the I AM statements of Jesus. This week was “I AM the light of the world.” So we contrasted light and darkness. People entered by candlelight only. When our speaker got [...]
Speaker Support Form
Posted by popular demand, I’ve set up a link to our speaker support PDF form. You can download it from the Downloads page, or just grab it here. I played around with it for a while to see if I could come up with a completely generic version, but decided to leave it exactly as [...]
Unexpected ProPresenter Benefit
Sunday was the second weekend of ProPresenter. Again, it worked flawlessly and our second volunteer picked it right up. He was called away to help his brother between the 5 and 7 services so I stepped in to man the con. It occurred to me that my MacBook Pro came with a remote, so I [...]
The First 100 Days
I’m always fascinated how we humans account for things. In presidential terms, the first 100 days always seems to be a milestone. I’m amused by this at the national level because seriously, how much can one person get done in 100 days when trying to run the free world. Since we’re in the beginning stages [...]
Worship Leaders–You’re Killing Us!
The scene repeats itself over and over again every weekend. Perhaps even in your church. It’s worship time, and the band is rockin’. The congregation is singing out as the worship leader leads. Eschewing hymnals as old-fashioned, the words are projected on 2 large screens above the stage. As the worship leader looks out over [...]
ProPresenter Week 1
As I told you last week, we’ve made the switch to ProPresenter. Last Monday’s post was one of my most read and most commented on posts so I thought I’d give you an update. Things went really well during the service (though getting there was a challenge). To be fair, ProPresenter worked nearly flawlessly. It [...]
