On this episode of House Lights, I share a story about a Sunday (or in my case Saturday) every church production leader dreads—when the tech doesn’t work.
Systems failed. Plans unraveled. And in the middle of the chaos, our Campus Pastor stepped in, calmly ready to carry the moment so the team didn’t have to. It became a powerful reminder that technical excellence matters—but leadership and pastoral care matter more.
I unpack what this moment taught me about church production leadership, trusting your team, building healthy relationships between pastors and tech leaders, and what it really means to lead well when things go wrong.
If you serve in church production, worship tech, or ministry leadership, this episode will encourage you to zoom out, refocus on people over perfection, and lead with both excellence and grace.
