Honoring Christ In Technology-Day 3
The Book of Acts it is the story and history of the church. In it, we see the Apostles send letters, ride in boats, access modern trade routes and traveling systems, and preach in town squares and facilities related to the architecture and culture of that day. The Apostles were able to harness the highest forms of “tech” in the Roman empire to share the gospel. We should do the same. The Apostolic philosophy toward tech in...
Honoring Christ In Technology-Day 2
God’s wise method for making himself known on the earth in something as simple as soil, meals, and a family is brilliant. Why? We must first realize that God is timeless (outside of and unbound by limits) and can see the beginning of time as well as he knows the ending. It would seem logical that God not only saw our “today” while creating the world in Genesis, and in deciding how he would sovereignly lay out, orchestrate, and...
Theology of Technology: iPhone and Apple Watch
It is no secret that the iPhone is a wild success, and with the launch of the iPhone 6 series, I’m sure Apple will not be slowing down in their influence any time soon. In this post, I will not be making an attempt to slander Apple—ha, I’m writing this post on my MacBook Air, Tweeting it with my iPhone, and it’s stored in my iCloud, so it’s no secret that I love Apple products—but I want to think theologically for a second....
Theology of Technology: Insta-Art
Put it in the microwave, it’s faster. Don’t do dial-up, get broadband…no, no, better yet, now we have wireless and the latest fiber-optic Internet. Why? Because it’s faster. Google is pitching it, we’re clicking it, and every technology is promising it. There’s a fascinating theology taking over the world, and that principle is speed. Never mind the studies that prove fast-food is killing us, phones are infecting us, or...

Acts 2 to U2 – What is the Purpose of the Church and How Do We Get Back?
(Yes I realize U2 isn’t the chart-topping machine they used to be, but I like the alliteration and what not…) In episode 0124 of the podcast, we talked about the purpose of the church and how it affects our worship ministry. I wanted to follow up that episode in hopes to get some conversation going about how we should be doing church as opposed to how we are doing church. What is the Purpose of Church? When we look at the...
The Basics of Using Compression
So far in this series, we have covered a couple of basics in running sound. We first covered setting your gain structure. Then we covered some basics on EQ. And of course, these all go back to episode 0123 of the podcast. Today we’re going to cover the highly useful, yet misunderstood topic of compression. It took me quite a while to get a good understanding of what compression is, what all the controls of compression do and how...

I specify live sound, because the principles aren’t necessarily the same. I want to give you a...
WMC – 0123 – Practical Advice for Sound Techs
You’ve been there. You work for weeks on a big Christmas production, Easter production or even just a big weekend service. You and a team of volunteers pour hours into the service, you work your hearts out, play your hearts out on the day of and then comes the feedback: “I couldn’t hear the vocalists” or “The drums were too loud” or “There was a guitar playing?” And your heart sinks.
