In episode 26 of the Every Pastor Podcast, Adam and Brandon continue to discuss the changes they are already seeing in their churches as things get better with the pandemic. The week they recorded episodes 25 and 26, their county's mask mandate ended and their state ended almost all restrictions. In this episode, they ponder what church will be like the next few weeks and months as people try to return to normal life. What do people expect about church? Will we return to passing the offering plate and shaking hands?

Pastoring a local body of believers can be stressful.  If we as pastors are going to care for our church and our people, we must take care of ourselves and our familes.  On episode 24, Pastors Adam Clagg and Brandon Johns share a few things they do to destress and how and where some of their favorite vacation spots are.  *Disclaimer: You will hear a lot about both their families' favorite place to vacation, Walt Disney World.  I hope you enjoy hearing about the importance of destressing!

In this episode we interview Joshua Riggs, Worship Pastor at Bethany Church in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. He also has a great website WorshipResources.church with free and inexpensive resources for your church. WorshipResourches.Church shows you how to get and use sermon graphics, videos, social media, motion backgrounds, stock photos, and more. His website helps you discover and learn how to use quality resources to make your church look better. Check it out!

Our discussion is about how we can do a better job live streaming our church services. 

Conversation starter: How is live streaming working for you? What are the limitations?

VIDEO

Switcher Studio is the system that is currently used in Adam's church and Brandon's church. 

Next step with physical cameras would be an ATEM Mini Pro ($600) that has 4 video inputs and audio.

Also, ATEM Studio ($1,000) with 8 inputs / SDI connections

HDMI has limitations. SDI is broadcast/standard. 

Joshua recommends thinking long term (next 3 to 5 years) and purchase gear that is scaleable.

Cameras- Canon or Panasonic 4k options ($1,200-$2,000)

Canon XA45 - 4K is about $2,000

PTZ is low profile, but not recommended.

AUDIO

"The most important thing about video streaming is the audio."

Get your audio from the board using an interface like iRig. 

You should use the Aux out from the board or bus mis, not the main house mix.  Things sound different in the sanctuary versus on someone's phone, tablet, or TV. It needs to be a different mix.

Monitor it with headphones and solo out the mix you put the live stream on.

Most large churches have a separate mixer to get the audio to live stream. 

Best option is to use an AUX from the board, set everything to POST FADE anduse headphones to monitor the mix.

*** This is part one of this interesting conversation. We still have 40 more minutes that will be released later ***

In part two, we will discuss how to get your live feed from your church and to the internet.

We discuss Facebook, YouTube, embedding the service directly on your website, lighting, camera angles, pastor's attire, talking to the camera, online host to talk to guests, what to do when the feed is disrupted, and more.

Joshua also shares blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels that he recommends for church media. Subscribe to the podcast so you will get a notification when part two airs.

What a stressful year (well, almost a year) it's been.  I know pastors are feeling the pressure in a way that is so different than anything before.  Today Pastors Brandon Johns and Adam Clagg are joined by their friend, Dennis Culbreth, to talk about some encouraging words and tips for pastors today.  Dennis has been a pastor for over 40 years and brings with him a wealth of knowledge and care for pastors.  He currently serves at the  Associational Missions Strategist for the Hamilton County Baptist Associtiation.
