My Mic Sounds Nice, Check One…
Lately I’ve had several people ask me what we use to record our worship services at CrossWay Church. The equipment is simple, sounds great, is only a hundred bucks combined, fits easily in a pocket, and plugs right into the computer to upload.

All You Need is Love
Tomorrow is my first Sunday as the lead pastor of a church. We’re talking about love. In preparing for my first sermon at this church, I was all ready to talk about planting the Gospel, keeping pure motives, and all that kind of charge-the-hill stuff. But then God really pressed on my heart that the Continue reading

Here are a few lessons I’ve learned about crowd interaction while preaching: (1) Since people’s thoughts are guided by associations, be highly selective in Continue reading
