It’s been a while since I’ve posted… Long story short, I have a lot of workaholic tendencies, and one day a few weeks ago my body just said enough. I collapsed, and ended up in the hospital for several days. When I was there, they found some nodules on my lungs – looks like a comparatively manageable disease that my mom had, but the C word was being tossed around (and it would be stage 4 cancer). Still not 100% that’s not the case, but no symptoms, and all of the symptoms of the other. Stuff like that makes you focus on the important stuff. Like my family. And their desire for me to get healthy and to get my work-life balance under control.
This blog is not one of those things that’s really important. I like to write (or – more accurately – I like having written). I like being able to share ideas. I’m a former teacher, as was my mom, so the desire to help others grow is hard-wired in me. But it may be awhile between posts for a bit – I have more important things to do…

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...
You can head over to my Instagram site for an abundance of shorter posts: creativeworshipideas. If you're looking for consulting - especially on weekend services, team leadership or multi-site strategies - I'd love to help. Just message me here, and I'll be in touch - Greg
