We Need to Talk About Race

In Ministry
1 Min read

It’s been another tough week here in Richmond. I’ve been wrestling with what to say here on The Production Pastor and after much prayer and seeking wisdom from friends, I made a video to speak to the time we’re in.

The purpose of The Production Pastor is help you grow as a technical artist and as a disciple of Jesus. Today, I’m pressing into the pastoral side to speak what I feel God is calling me to say in this moment.

I hope you’ll watch this video with an open and sincere heart and if you’d like to process things further, I’d be more than happy to listen. DM on Instagram, shoot me an email, let’s talk.

I've read this verse and heard it preached SO many times before in relation to work and calling. But until this week, I didn't really put together how this entire passage is Paul talking about how we should live in light of the resurrection. Now that you've made it through Easter/Holy Week, how will you live in light of the resurrection? For me? I'll be taking a week of rest 😃
I was inspired during my @hereadstruth reading this morning from 1 Timothy. The end of 2020 was a full court press and I kept wondering, what's the point of all this work? The purpose for all our work is our Living Hope, the Savior of all people. I hope this encourages you and gives your work new meaning as we get back to the daily grind in 2021. #theproductionpastor #production #churchproduction #churchtech #worshipproduction #liveproduction #churchtechleaders #ctln #churchtechs #churchavl #crtvchurch #FILOcommunity #churchaudio #churchlx #worshiplights #scripture
I was reading the current @hereadstruth plan and these 2 simple yet profound questions stuck out to me. This week is CRAZY (after an entire year of crazy) for those of us in church production. What are you doing this week to prepare yourself to experience the coming of our newborn King? #christmas #christmaseve #christmasproduction #theproductionpastor #production #churchproduction #churchtech #worshipproduction #liveproduction #churchtechleaders #ctln #churchtechs #churchavl #crtvchurch #FILOcommunity #churchaudio #churchlx #worshiplights #sundaymorning #sundayworship

A few weeks back we decided to make a temporary video studio at my church since we decided to stay all-virtual for the rest of the year. I’ve been wanting to make a video about it but keep getting stuck waiting for backordered gear to come in. I JUST found out yesterday the Soft Box + grid for the key light will be here tomorrow and I’m ready to finally talk through the setup! 🎙 What questions do you have about creating a video studio? Any tips or words of wisdom you’d like to impart? #theproductionpastor #production #churchproduction #churchtech #worshipproduction #liveproduction #churchtechleaders #ctln #churchtechs #churchavl #crtvchurch #FILOcommunity #churchaudio #studio #videostudio
As church produciton artists and leaders, we're not called to just produce services, we're called to lead others; to help them grow in their technical skills and grow closer to Jesus. A few months back I heard this question from Dave Miller over at @leadershpathway: Who's the next you? It's a simple but profound question to remind me to keep leading and pouring into others. Who are you mentoring and discipling? Who's the next you? #theproductionpastor #production #churchproduction #churchtech #worshipproduction #liveproduction #churchtechleaders #ctln #churchtechs #churchavl #crtvchurch #FILOcommunity #churchaudio #churchlx #worshiplights
These past few months have been a whirlwind - certainly a ton of fun and a whole lot of change. There are a few brands/companies who have not only made my work possible, but have made it better than I could have imagined. This week I’m giving a big round of applause to you @vimeo @lifechurchopen @planningcenter @blackmagicnewsofficial @lensrentals. Thank you all SO much. 👏🏼 Watch the full video: [Link in bio] #theproductionpastor #production #churchproduction #churchtech #worshipproduction #liveproduction #churchtechleaders #ctln #churchtechs #churchavl #crtvchurch #FILOcommunity #churchaudio #churchlx #worshiplights #sundayservices #sundaymorning #sundayworship
A few months ago, I wrote a blog post called Leading Yourself in this Unexpected Season. In that post I talked about the importance of leading yourself and I gave 3 questions to help you process your emotions, fears, and anxieties to help better lead yourself and your team. In this week’s video, I’m revisiting those questions to see how they can still help us grow in the midst of uncertainty.
