One of the more difficult aspects of being in a creative ministry is that some people don’t understand your ministry (we’ll get back to that word your in a little bit).

We recently talked about Easter being more than event…so how was yours? Was attendance up, down? Did you find any difference in those that attended?
And the most important question: were lives changed?
At my home church we do a 4 day production (same performance 5 times Thu-Sun) and while the ticket release was down (considerably)…attendance seemed […]
The folks over at logo design love are running a bit of a contest for blog headers. Interesting category as sooo many bloggers never venture outside of the packaged banner. It’s also a good place to find some blogs you may never have heard of. Take a little trip out and check it out.

I’m going to touch on perfection, but I’m going to spend most of my time talking about excellence. For those of you who […]
It’s that time of year where flip the calendar with a big gasp…Easter is a few weeks away! What are we going to do, must be big…you know the story. Too often we approach Easter as an event. We take that one Sunday and pull out all the stops and make a big splash only […]
