The Cafe is only running during the 2nd service and in a brilliant move by our church leadership, it’s being used to develop the Greeting, Ushering, Campus Pastor, Tech Team, and Worship Team for the new campus.

I’m really stuck on Maxwell’s “Law of the Lid” right now. Basically, it says that leaders are the lid that their teams (followers) can’t surpass. If you’re a 7, those who follow you will be 6s or below. If they’re 8s, they’ll become the leader or find a 9 to follow. [...]

This has more to do with the content of what you’re going to say than anything. No matter how short or long you talk, be intentional with your words in every service:

A couple of bullet point thoughts for you on talking as the worship leader during a worship service:
*Let people know when it’s going to happen. By people, I mean the band, the lighting folks, presentation folks, and sound folks.

-Get Prepared Spiritually

I’ll start by being completely honest, I’ve never used this product – but I know these men and their work.
During my trip to C3 this week, I had a great opportunity to get to know Tim Ranson. Tim owns Delta Stage Lighting and for nearly two years, he’s donated his time and resources to [...]

Alright, so the last time I set one of these sites up, it was for 40 songs and 20 musicians. Holy crap! It’s so much more involved when there are 90 musicians and hundreds of songs. Trying to roll it out is crazy!

Whether you’re volunteering for a professional society like ASTD or a church, you’ve got to know ahead of time what you’re committing to, you’ve got to have a DTR (define the relationship) talk. Are you going steady (are you completely dedicated and volunteering for one organization), or do you have to split your time [...]
