Last Friday, I started digging into the challenges that come with trying to have inter-generational communities sharing the same space and equipment. The first step is to look at technology needs through the lens of the other group as well as your own. Today, I’ll illustrate with some concrete examples of what that looks like.
Here’s [...]

Thriving in an Inter-Generational Setting Pt. 2
Why I Love What I Do
Every now and again, I’m reminded of why I love what I do. Now, keep in mind, I’m blessed to be in a career that God has clearly called me to, doing a job I enjoy in a church I greatly appreciate. So even on a weekend that felt a little “rough” (at least to [...]
Why Input Sheets?
Phil raised a good question based on my last post about the Input Sheet Template; to wit, Why even do an input sheet? I can think of several reasons, actually.
Makes it Easy to Pre-Build Show Files
If you have a digital console, it’s quite nice to be able to set up the console ahead of time [...]
Technology Lumping
Somewhere out there you might have noticed that sound, lighting and video are different (with apologies to The Masked Engineer). In the professional world, audio guys hold little regard for “squints.” The lighting guys don’t really care if there’s enough light for the video, and the video guys, well they don’t like anyone.

The Mix or the Room?
Let’s be honest, we all know a lot of pastors (worship, senior and otherwise) are not happy with the sound in their worship rooms every weekend. Sometimes, the guy behind the board is to blame. Perhaps they’ve not been trained, or they just don’t understand music or don’t know how to put a good mix [...]

Things are going well and we have some excellent options to consider, and we’re anxiously awaiting God’s clear direction. Thanks to [...]
Preventing Insanity Among Presentation Volunteers
By now you probably know that I’m all about the volunteers. I keep tweaking my systems, formulating new processes and trying to come up with new ways to make life easier for our volunteers. Recently, we implemented something that has gone a long way to lowering the blood pressure of our ProPresenter operators. It’s so [...]
Taking Flight With Creatitivity
A few weeks ago, Abingdon Press sent me this book to read. First of all, I was pretty jazzed that they would send me the book; apparently I meet the criteria of being a well-known enough blog now–which is really cool. I was also excited because I love to read, and I’m always game for [...]
Confessions of a Workaholic
This week, I did the unthinkable. I postponed 2 projects and took a few days off.
Hi. My name is Mike. And I’m a workaholic. I would say a recovering workaholic, but just as quickly as I think I’m “recovering,” I’m back at it again. And don’t look at me with that “I can quit anytime” [...]
