This is a topic that I feel pretty strongly about. Know that up front. How many times have you been in a worship service, singing a new song, and been unable to sing it because the lyrics on the screen trail the worship leader? Even if it’s a song you sort of know, it is [...]

Re-Mix: Lessons Learned from a 12-Year Old
Taking a cue from Stuff Christians Like (and Jon probably stole this idea from someone else–that’s how we bloggers roll…), I’m pulling up a remix. Actually “remix” might imply that I’ve done something to change up this post since it was originally published. But I didn’t I just re-read it because it came up as [...]
What are you learning today?
That question has been rattling around my head the last few days. It came up when I was talking with my office mate and worship pastor, Jon. He was getting ready to apply to grad school. He said he felt the need to keep growing. Good need, I say. Last night, I thought about it [...]

You see signal present LEDs lighting up on channels that shouldn’t be. There isn’t signal where the should be. The presentation computer doesn’t seem to be acting right. The [...]
Audience Participation
This weekend we got to use technology in a pretty cool way to engage with our congregation. One of the things Upper Room is known for is our experiential style of worship. Almost every week, we have some type of activity that allows the congregation to engage in the teaching they have just heard. Sometimes [...]
The Fixer
I still get the chills when I think about it. Having just come off a 7-year run as a 50-week a year volunteer sound guy, I was ready to take a break. My family and I had moved to a new town, and were looking for a new church. We visited one and really liked [...]
