Workshop Description: A great short-film starts with a great script. But what does it look like when a personal story is told in interview format? The best video stories your church will tell come from the people in your community. Gary has interviewed over 100 top athletes and performers, creating short-films with the content results. He’ll help you discover timeless principles and practical processes to capture their best content, all in an interview setting where any subject feels safe, a little anxious, and courageous.

But in this class, we’ll explore new strategies and ideas to increase your wayfinding presence by diving into best practices for church signage.

Workshop Description: It’s an odd thing to work in the church because our work and worship are often confused as the same. In this class, we’ll look to scripture to be the guide on how to keep a healthy balance between these things. Failure to do so can tragically cause our work to turn into a golden calf. Your work can (and should) be an act of worship, but it’s unhealthy when your work steals your ability to worship.
