The Webinars are Back
Back in February, we told you our March Webinar would be about proposing system upgrades to leadership. And that’s exactly what we planned. Except we forgot that this year, March included that oft-celebrated holiday, Easter. Combined with Dave’s massive PA upgrade, my lighting upgrade and being down staff and Jason’s…well, I think Jason just had [...]
Good Friday Set Up
Audio is in place, lighting is being tweaked. We used a bunch of different fabrics which when lit, will look really cool.
Easter Week
It’s Easter week, so we’ll all be pretty busy. But I thought I would quickly give you a quick glimpse as to what we’re doing at Coast Hills. Our Easter service is a fairly big deal, but the big production is Good Friday. Our Good Friday service is a very special production that contains no [...]
That’s Not Right, Tear It All Out
I was watching one of my favorite home-improvement shows the other night; Holmes on Homes. If you’ve not seen it, check it out. Mike Holmes is a contractor who gets called in by homeowners in trouble. Typically, they have hired a contractor to do a job and it’s either botched or abandoned. The homeowners are [...]
Being in Two (or More) Places at Once
The other day, I had to do a funeral. Now, I generally don’t like funerals; first because they’re typically emotionally hard, and second because they’re technically challenging.

The Good Enough Principle
Shawn Wood, Experience Pastor at Seacost Church wrote a post a few weeks ago that I found very interesting. His topic: The Good Enough Principle. Later that week I read an article in Wired about the same thing. There seems to be a movement afoot to make things good enough. Now, if you’ve read this [...]
Setting Priorities
When I was in college, there was a professor who was known for shooting straight. When a student tried to excuse his unfinished assignment by claiming there were so many other things he was trying to work on, the professor simply waved his hand and said, “Priorities, son. Priorities.” That phrase has been rattling around [...]
Thinking Ahead
I was reading Tony Morgan’s blog the other day as he was reviewing Andy Stanley’s new book, The Principle of the Path. One phrase in particular caught my mind, and it’s stuck with me ever since. It’s good advice for life to be sure; and it has particular importance for those of us charged with [...]
