Sustainability–How Do We Achieve It?
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been writing about sustainability. If you missed the previous 2 posts, you can read them here and here. The first post is about what sustainability is not. The second talks about reasons we don’t tend to live sustainable lives. Today, I want to explore how to live sustainably. Now [...]
Continual Knowledge Upgrade
Most of you have probably guessed by now that I’m a geek. I thoroughly enjoy being around technology, talking about technology and figuring out how to use technology to enhance the mission of the Church. That’s why I have the job that I do. Every day is different, and I’m always learning new things. Some [...]
The Fixer

In our staff meetings, [...]
Line Checkin’
The line check. It’s one of those things that most sound guys know they should do, or at least would like to have time to do, but often fail to get around to actually doing. Getting a line check done before the band arrives has saved me on several occasions. Not getting it done has [...]
How to Keep Volunteers Pt. 2
Back to our topic of retaining volunteers. If you’re just tuning in, you may want to go back and read the first part of this post. Go ahead, we’ll wait… All caught up? Good deal. Here’s the rest of the list.
Invest in Them
Relationships are what keep people connected to a church. In fact, the church [...]
