I Rest My Case
OK… I know that you’re just barely over your whole Easter weekend marathon and you may have some bumps, bruises, and bags under your eyes to show for it… but I have a very important question for you: How well do you rest? (Yes, I shot this whilst in my pajamas… for effect) I love […]
So, You Want to Work at a Church, Part 2 – I Dare You to Move
(A follow-up post; read part 1 HERE) Scenario: You found a church media/technical job posting at a church in another city/state that sounds like a good fit for you. You applied, got a response, and went to interview. Things seem to be going very well and an offer could come any day now. Taking this […]
So you want to work at a church
Hello, readers… I know it has been a while since I posted ANYthing. Let’s not make this awkward, I’ll just get to what’s on my mind today. Almost every Monday that I can remember for many years, I have received an email from churchstaffing.com with the latest church media/creative/technical job opportunities. Early on, as well as […]
Dear Church, Can We Please Stop Calling it an “Experience”?
While I have no way of going back to discover when church services began being called “experiences”, I can start a lobby suggesting that we stop calling them experiences. The more that I’ve thought about this the more I am convinced that we are incapable of creating an experience for one simple reason: Experiences are far too […]
Easter 2014 – Video Round Up
This Easter was a little odd for me in that it’s the first time in 8 years that I wasn’t working for a church. I was, however, keeping an eye on social media and watching what was being posted in the way of video for Good Friday and Easter services. Here are a few that […]
Church Video Announcements; a Love/Hate Relationship
I like church video announcements because I see them as a great way to communicate things in a way that someone standing at a podium reading the bulletin can’t. I hate church video announcements because they are often viewed or esteemed to be doing something that they’re incapable of doing. Not to mention that they seem to […]
Church IMAG Directors – You Are A Worship Leader
To: Church IMAG Video Directors Whether you realize it or not, you are a worship leader. But, I have no musical ability and I don’t even sing in the shower for fear that some one might accidentally hear me and claw their ears off so that they never have to hear me again! It doesn’t […]
Stewardship – The Red Line
In this time of financial instability, much has been made about good stewardship when it comes to our money and other resources. What about our most important resource, people? Money, tools, time… these are all diminishing resources; we always wish that we had more and are constantly trying to figure out how to make best […]
Minutes and Moments
A minute will expire – A moment can live in your heart and mind for the rest of your life. Minutes are largely unremarkable and not necessarily memorable. A moment is an opportunity; a bracketed collection of intentional minutes. We can be slaves to the minutes… we need to master the moments. While it may be […]
More than I could ever ask or imagine
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21) I love this verse. I’m living proof that it is true. I […]
