FILO

Todd talks with Rusty Anderson from Passion City Church about live video and making sure that it is not distracting but instead invites people into an experience with God, rather than a show.

Kaleb Wilcox, the executive producer for the weekend service at Willow Creek’s North Shore campus talks with Todd about their relatively new building project and the challenges that went along with it.

Easter is coming up pretty quick. For most of us, it is the event that tends to sneak up on you if you aren’t careful! In this episode, Todd talks with Chris Thomas, the Technical Arts Director at Cherry Hills Church about how they have been preparing for Easter this year. There are some great leadership lessons in this one! (and some random thoughts on Easter candy)

Dennis Choy is responsible for many production teams across many venues and several campuses at North Coast Church. Todd and Dennis have a great conversation about what success looks like when you’ve got people of different abilities scattered all over the place. With so many opportunities for things to go wrong, they talk about doing the best with what you have.

Andrew Starke, the audio director at North Point Community Church, talks with Todd about the journey many of us take to becoming a fully developed tech person. We hear Andrew’s own story and his learnings about being defined by more than just the task you are doing for church. We all need to realize that we are more than our last service and that we are more than just a great mix or an amazingly edited video.

Todd talks with Stef Cassetto, the weekend producer at Saddleback Church, about the reality of working through competing values to accomplish a weekend service. What’s best for the creative team, isn’t always best for the production team, and vice versa. Now add what the pastor needs…and then there’s the question of what’s best for our church.

As technical artists in the local church, we all have to figure out the relationship with our team and the team on the stage…the band. Todd talks with Delwin Eiland, a worship leader at Willow Creek, about ways to develop this relationship so that our services can be the best possible.
