6:15 Unbound (Daniel 3) - more guitars than God Himself
13:00 On COVID creating: “Out of my comfort zone is pretty much everything I do now. The Holy Spirit has shifted things in my life completely to things that are not in my comfort zone.”
18:30 Pardon Drew’s Darth Vader-style breathing over Darell’s question. He had to take a break and literally run his recycle bins out to the street.

21:00 How Doug resources and equips local worship leaders through his ministry.
26:30 Technology is no longer merely an add-on, but a necessity for the modern worship experience.
29:15 The value a Worship Committee can add to a congregation
