A common mistake that I think that we make these days in the church world is assuming Biblical knowledge. Everybody knows what Christmas and Easter are about, right? Not so much… I was shocked years ago when we did a walkthrough event at the church I was serving at in those days which recreated the events of Easter. We had two ladies that worked in the large room where we were representing the Crucifixion. As we rehearsed and they saw the events graphically portrayed in front of them, one of the ladies said: “I had no idea that was what happened!” They had attended church FOR YEARS and didn’t know the most basic events that our faith is built on. And I realized in that stunning moment that it was because we never told them. We just assumed they knew…
So this year – make sure that you tell the Story…

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...
