This post is another in a series of articles that grew out of a breakout session at Willow Creek’s Arts Conference a few weeks ago. The session was Thriving at Front of House, and speakers included Robert Scovill, Chris Gille and Scott Ragsdale. I give Scovi credit in advance for much of the content herein. [...]

Credibility Score
Tim Corder has written some thoughts gleaned from Robert Scovill at the Arts Conference last week. I was in the seminar with Tim when Scovi spoke, and these thoughts struck me as well. It was good to hear Scovi talk about it, and it’s good to be reminded of it. Check out the post here.

Well, the good news is I found my camera cable. Turns out that when I was getting ready to leave home, I was cleaning stuff up and put the cable for my little camera in the bag with my big camera thinking it went to the big camera. So alas, it stayed home while I [...]
Arise Day 3–Session 1
The morning started off with the very talented and very funny Kendall Payne. A gifted musician and songwriter, she not only made us laugh, but made us think. I’ve never heard of her before, but I will be looking to add some of her music to my iPod. She’s that good.
Next up was Dr. Richard [...]
Arise Day 2—Breakout Sessions
Today was a full day. Four breakout sessions full of good information and lots of notes. Not all of the information was directly applicable to me, but there was no shortage of good stuff. I learned something in each session, and have several things I want to go back an implement. For me, that’s the [...]
Arise Sessions 2 & 3
Session 2 was Gilles Ste-Croix of Cirque. He told the fascinating story of how Cirque was started as street performers and has grown into an organization of 4,000 people with 18 (I think) permanent shows all over the world. Probably the thing that made most people jealous is that they spend between 2-3 years creating [...]
Arise Session 1—Nancy Beach
The conference opened with a drum line. Very cool. A group of about 10 very energetic drummers took to the stage and amazed all with their chops. Next up was a time of worship with the Willow Creek band. They sounded great. I notice that the rig sounds smoother than it did last year. The [...]
Day 1 at Willow
I had a good flight in yesterday…except I got busted for trying to sneak more than 3 oz. of toothpaste on board. I am now a toiletries offender. Hopefully it won’t be listed on my permanent record!
Arrived at Willow Creek this morning at about 8:15. Was checked in by 8:20. They really have the process [...]
Countdown to Willow Creek Arts Conference
The countdown is on. Tuesday night I fly out to Chi-town for my second annual Arts Conference. Last year was a great time of refreshment and worship, with a few really good breakouts thrown in. I’m really looking forward to it this year. I’ll try to blog about it as much as I can, and [...]
Countdown to Willow
It’s hard to believe that it was March when I booked my flights to Chicago for the Willow Arts Conference. Last year was my first year, and I was thoroughly impressed. It was great to get a few days out of the office, and to spend some time worshiping without worrying about a video cue, [...]
