Your Preference is not Theology
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok In this episode, Sean Bennett and Luke Jackson unpack one of the most common sources of conflict in church worship: confusing personal preference, ministry philosophy, and biblical theology. When those categories collapse into one, conversations about songs, service length, instruments, volume, style, and liturgy quickly become harder than they need to be. Sean and Luke talk through how churches can build a clearer worship philosophy by starting upstream with the purpose of the gathered church, reading Scripture as a unified story, and doing the theological homework before questions or criticism arise. They also explain why preference is not the enemy, but unexamined preference can quietly shape decisions that leaders mistake for conviction. If you lead worship, production, or church services in any capacity, this conversation will help you think more clearly about why your church worships the way it does—and how to explain those decisions with humility, clarity, and care. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

Church Video Systems That Volunteers Can Actually Run | Colby Griner
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok About This Week's Guest Colby Griner serves at Compassion Christian Church in Savannah, Georgia, where he oversees broadcast video at the main campus and supports production across multiple campuses. His background includes leading production in a smaller church environment, building volunteer-friendly systems, and helping churches make practical decisions about video gear, cameras, switching, routing, and live production workflows. In this session from the Churchfront Conference, Colby breaks down how churches should think about video systems based on their actual context, not just the gear they see other churches using. He compares broadcast cameras, cinema cameras, and PTZs, explains when each makes sense, and walks through the signal flow essentials that make live video work. You'll also hear practical guidance on ProPresenter outputs, fill and key graphics, routers, switchers, stream decks, and volunteer training. If your church wants a better-looking livestream or in-room video experience without creating a system only professionals can run, this episode will help you choose the right next step. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

The Missing Piece in Church AV Projects
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok A great sound system, lighting rig, or LED wall can still fall short if nobody knows how to operate, maintain, and adapt it after installation. In this episode, Jake and Luke unpack one of the biggest things church leaders miss in AV projects: the ongoing need for training, support, system ownership, and engineering expertise. They explain why AV is different from other parts of a building project, why volunteers and operators should not be expected to function as system engineers, and how churches can plan for stabilization, documentation, ongoing support, and future growth before investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into new AVL systems. If your church is planning a new build, expansion, or major AV upgrade, this conversation will help you count the real cost of ownership and build a system your team can actually use with confidence. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

You Don't Have to Know Everything to Lead a Great Production Team | Danielle Iselin
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok About This Week's Guest Danielle Iselin serves at VIVE Church in Mountain View, California, helping lead production across a global church with 15 campuses. Her background in church production started at a young age, and her leadership experience gives her a practical, encouraging perspective for worship and production leaders who feel the pressure to know it all. In this Churchfront Conference keynote, Danielle challenges church production leaders to stop carrying everything alone and start becoming leaders of leaders. She explains what it means to "know enough to be dangerous," not by pretending to be the expert in every area, but by learning strategically, asking better questions, empowering gifted people, and staying deeply aligned with the vision of the church. If you lead worship, production, media, or AVL volunteers, this session will help you think differently about learning, delegation, team building, and the kind of leadership that strengthens your church for the long run. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

How Not to Build a Church AV Budget
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok In this episode, Jake Gosselin and Luke Jackson talk through one of the most common ways churches waste money on AV: starting with a budget number before defining the actual ministry needs, space requirements, and system design. They unpack why rough percentages, contractor guesses, cheap local installs, and rushed timelines often lead to underbuilt systems, change orders, poor long-term support, and frustrated teams. Instead of treating AV like a last-minute line item, Jake and Luke explain why churches need a clear plan, informed consulting, and a long-term stewardship mindset before making major AVL decisions. If your church is planning a renovation, expansion, or AV upgrade, this conversation will help you ask better questions before spending six or seven figures on technology. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

Your Church Livestream Probably Isn't Growing Your Church | Stephen Sheppard
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok About This Week's Guest Stephen "Shep" Sheppard is a church production and broadcast leader with experience serving at Elevation Church, launching church campuses, supporting multi-site production teams, and helping churches improve their camera systems, video direction, and sermon capture workflows. In this episode, Shep challenges the assumption that livestreaming is still the main growth strategy for churches. Instead, he explains how production teams can use cameras, lighting, volunteer training, sermon recording, YouTube, and short-form content to steward the message more effectively throughout the week. You'll learn why the sermon deserves intentional camera coverage, why better lighting may matter more than new cameras, how to define roles for camera operators and video directors, and how churches of any size can create more useful content with the tools they already have. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.

Light Your Church Like a Pro | Pro Church Lights
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok About This Week's Guest This episode features Frank and Wade from Pro Church Lights, teaching from the Churchfront Conference in Melbourne Beach, Florida. They help churches build practical, volunteer-friendly lighting systems that support worship, hospitality, and ministry impact. Church lighting is not about manipulating emotion. It is about setting the table so people can walk into a space that feels intentional, welcoming, and ready for worship. In this episode, Frank and Wade explain why lighting matters from both a biblical and practical perspective, then walk through five principles every church can use to improve its lighting: nail the foundational elements, simplify control, standardize looks, train volunteers, and upgrade strategically. Whether your church is starting with a basic lighting setup or trying to make an existing system easier for volunteers to run, this conversation will help you make smarter decisions and create a better worship environment.

Why We Don't Give Churches AV Bids
Work with us on your next AV project Get training for production leaders and volunteers Join us at the Churchfront Live Conference Follow us! Instagram Facebook TikTok In this episode, Jake Gosselin and Luke Jackson unpack why Churchfront does not start AVL projects by handing churches a quick bid or quote. They explain the difference between an estimate, bid, quote, proposal, and RFP, and why accurate pricing for church AVL work depends on design, engineering, site context, system goals, and clear specifications. Jake and Luke also walk through Churchfront's pre-design and consulting process, including the on-site visit, discovery conversations, inventory, program report, budget ranges, phasing recommendations, and the path from consulting to design, engineering, and final project proposal. If your church is planning an audio, video, lighting, broadcast, or renovation project, this conversation will help you understand what information is needed before a firm quote is possible and how to move forward with clarity instead of guesswork. • • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.
