ChurchTechWeekly is the number one show for live production technology and encouragement for the local church tech. Hosted by Mike Sessler, Van Metschke and Duke Dejong, we interview leaders in the church production world, and bring you the best trade show coverage.
Building volunteer teams is perhaps one of the toughest things we do as technical leaders. Our panel today talks about building unity, training and retaining tech teams that serve one another and the mission of the church.

This week, we're at the Seeds Conference at Church on the Move in scenic Tulsa, OK. We couldn't visit COTM without hanging out with Andrew, so we all pilled into his office and talked about, what else, audio!
I promised I would post a link to the '90s worship music retrospective as soon as it was available. So here it is!. It's part of the entire Night 2 video, so skip forward to about 9 minutes if you want to see just the funny part. Though Craig Groeschel was pretty good, too.
