A super-quick shoutout to the unsung heroes of weekend services: Video Editors and Video Producers. Taking the second first, Video Producers serve the incredibly important role of translating the live service to the online congregations (a must during COVID), as well as upping engagement in the services themselves via side-screen iMag.
We take video content for granted in the modern church, but it really is an incredible tool. It would take you a half-hour to describe all of the things that you can show in a one-minute video clip. Video Editors make that possible. I’ve done some editing work myself back in the day, and I know how much work goes into even a minute of high-quality video content. You are the modern-day story-tellers.
Well done, Producers and Editors. The church is a better place because of you.

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...
