I have a definite love/hate relationship with technology. In fact, I think it’s the word “relationship” that gets to the heart of the problem. For many of us these days, the closest relationship we have is with our phones. That’s messed up. Relationships are meant to be between people, not between people and objects.
Make sure that you have REAL face time. You need it to be healthy, even if – like me – you’re an introvert. Use the technology time that you do spend wisely (like doing a level of Duolingo for every game of Wordle you play). Grow – don’t just burn time. And stop hiding out in your home and/or office, having everything delivered, and watching other people’s lives instead of living your own…

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...
