You know, every once in awhile, an idea just doesn’t work that great…
We were doing a weekend on spiritual battles, and we used too many metaphors – a medieval castle, modern attack helicopters, etc… We also underestimated the size of our stage! Our castle – on which some of our folks worked very hard to get ready – just didn’t look like an imposing castle facade (it came across more like a backyard playfort). You know, in retrospect, the castle we built would have looked great if we would have made it look the the gate of a larger castle (represented on the back screen). Scale is important – your staging has to match the size of the stage. Ah well, live and learn – no one bats 1.000!

Hmmm - well, let's see...
I'm a Christian, a husband, a dad, a son, a pastor, a consultant, a musician, a writer, and bits and pieces of a bunch of other things. My work life has followed three main phases - business to teaching to church. I was the Weekend Services Pastor for nine years at Northview Church, an awesome church in the Indianapolis suburbs. I used to work for Willow Creek, another awesome church in the Chicago area. Plus I've written for various magazines and websites, and other freelancy sorts of things... My life mission is to help the church be as excellent as it can be.
Oh yeah - the name's Greg. Greg Wallace. But not the race car driver or the major league pitcher or the British celebrity chef. Just the creative worship guy. Hi.
It's my hope that these ideas, musings, rants, raves, etc... will inspire you. They're just my opinions - but again, I hope that they'll help to inspire you. Because the church really, really needs inspired creative types. If you're a creative type (and most people are, deep-down), ask God for help. Then take any ideas that are useful to you - borrow them, nab them, use them, adapt them - and make them into something greater...
