Pics from Winter Xtreme 09

Xtreme was a blast again this year and I was glad to be with such good friends backing me up. Here are some pics of us leading worship and of Marcus, Matt, and Jake being...

50 Years of Marriage

My wife and I drove down to Deland, Florida to celebrate her grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. She worked really hard to bring it all together and managed to keep it a surprise to boot. My wife is super great at surprises (remind me to tell you about my 30th birthday sometime) and it always makes...

Day 1 of Winter Xtreme 2009

We’re blessed to be leading worship up here in Pigeon Forge for Winter Xtreme once again. I brought with me some great leaders from Oak Leaf Church to be my band this year. Very proud! I’ve been loading up images on the camera I got for Christmas so as soon as I figure out how to...

Technical Problems

my website has been down for quite some time. Finally got it working again thanks to the amazing magical wonders of the super Seth Skinner. while I was away, I was working on a redesign just to have something up and am now contemplating actually changing my theme all together. not sure what to do. what I...

Week 4

So I decided to try something revolutionary. My first week of camp made eating right a bit difficult but I held strong until the weekend. Saturday night my wife and I went on a date and decided to try Big Pie in the Sky pizza which is right down the road from our house (and...

SuperWOW Fort Walton Week 1

What a great week! What a great group of students. Excited and passionate about worship God. Technology was our enemy this week – computers failing, in-ears breaking, power black outs, you name it – but GOD WAS STILL GLORIFIED!!! We don’t need no stinkin’ tech to worship God! My favorite part about the week was meeting the...

Week 3

This week was frustrating. I kept to my diet but actually gained weight. I upped the amount of weight I was using in the routine and so I know people are going to say, “muscle weighs more than fat” which I will quickly respond, “but that doesn’t help me if it is hidden by the...

Wireless Power Is Coming

This is the one thing I wish I was smart enough to invent. I had the idea a long time ago but of course…I’m not a scientist or engineer so I had no idea where to even begin. Plus, all the smart people who did have the know how were already working on it behind...

Week 2

WEEK 2 They say the first two weeks are the hardest and well…it was pretty hard. I pushed myself further than I ever have before. 40 minute non-stop workout routine followed by either a 30-45 minute run or an hour bike ride (one in which I rode from Acworth to Cartersville to work) for six straight...

I’m Not On A Diet. I’m Eating As God Intended.

WEEK 1 I’m on a workout routine and am changing what I eat to help the results. Specifically I am doing Power90 which as I understand it is P90x for slower, fatter, more out of shape people (like myself). Basically, it is an older version of P90x with phases that allow a weak, pathetic individual (like...

Head Worn Camera

Posted 11 months, 1 week ago in Church Production, I Love Technology
I know this is specifically designed to use for law enforcement, but how cool would it be to strap a couple of these babies on some mystery guests at your church and get a realtime visual perspective on what people experience as they walk through your campus. With two way...

Product Spotlight: Presonus StudioLive Digital Mixer

Posted 11 months, 1 week ago in Church Production, I Love Technology
Does anybody own one of these yet? Since I heard about this hitting the market I’ve wanted to get my hands on one to see how it sounds and functions. But just the idea of having an easy to use 16 channel hybrid console with memory recall, comp, limited, gate, eq,...

WGC Part 5: How We Can Help Your Church

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Church Production, Consulting, WGC, Worship
There are five areas we consider specialties –  areas in which we have long standing expert and professional experience – but our ability to offer aid and assistance reaches far beyond the scope of those specific categories. I’ll go into further detail on each area later in the week but...

WGC Part 3: Principles vs. Practices

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Church Production, Consulting, WGC
Anybody can take a list of to-dos and knock them out overtime. But once that list has run its course, you’re going to just need a new list. Knowing what to do is completely necessary but it will eventually lead to the “now what” road block. Skills sort of work...

WGC Part 2: What is Different and Why is it Needed?

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Church Production, Consulting, Creative Stuff, Leadership, WGC
There are several conferences, classes, books, etc., etc., etc., available for church leaders looking to start fresh or add momentum. But as we all know, reading a book or sitting through a conference can only go so far in being applied to the reality of your church’s situation. Same goes for...

Will Goodwin Consulting is Official! (WGC Part 1)

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Church Production, Creative Stuff, Leadership, Life and Family, Worship
I’ve even got a cool logo :) But in all seriousness, I’ve had so many meetings the past couple months and have been racking my brain trying to put all the pieces together not only to whether or not there is a need out there but what I can actually give...

What’s Wrong With Hiring A/V/L Companies?

Posted 1 year ago in Church Production
On the surface, absolutely nothing. But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into church facility or plant that either has the wrong kind of equipment for what they are doing or spent so much money to not have what they need- all off the advice of “experts.” Two...

The Saddest Thing I’ve Ever Seen

Yesterday, a friend of mine gave me tour of a church where he’s an interim worship pastor for a couple months. On the surface, I would have thought he’d be out of his mind not to take the job full-time. 700,000 square foot facilities with state of the art everything....

Church Planting Consultant?

Posted 1 year ago in Church Production, Life and Family
What does that even mean? That may actually be the question at hand. (UPDATE: the picture is supposed to be sarcastic and/or funny) Jamie and I have been spending countless hours praying over what our next step is going to be. I could go into the military – something I’ve always...

Answers to Questions

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in Church Production, Leadership, Worship
I received an email from a fellow creative arts pastor, Andy Goswick, asking some leadership questions and I thought i’d post my replies here for all to read. Hope my answers are good. 1. What is worship to you? it is a response to something with wholehearted affection, loyalty, and energy....
