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...

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...

How Wild Should We Be In Worship?

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago in Leadership, Thoughts on Christianity, Worship
I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday who plays guitar for another friend who travels and leads worship all over the US. Among other things, we discussed how difficult it is to go from from one crowd worshippers you practically have to calm down between songs...

Will Goodwin Consulting is Official! (WGC Part 1)

Posted 11 months, 3 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...

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....

Whatever Happened to Apologetics?

Posted 1 year, 1 month ago in Thoughts on Christianity, Worship
Maybe it is because I like to be right. Maybe it is because I like to argue. But I think the principal behind James 1:2-4 is still pretty important. Can you defend your faith?  John Piper wrote in his book God Is the Gospel:  If you could have heaven, with no sickness,...

What is twittrchurch?

It is the church I started. That’s right, I started a church…sort of. A fake church. Fake as in no building or staff or bi-laws or benevolence policy or anything typically associated with church. It is 24/7…as in my phone and the internet are always on. It is just me and my encouragement to...

Lukewarm Worship Leader

Posted 1 year, 3 months ago in Leadership, Worship
Carlos Whittaker (guy who does something at Buckhead church) has got a great discussion going on over at his blog right now about what defines a worship leader who is not really living up to his title. He borrowed the theme from the pastor of Lifechurch.tv, but I prefer his...

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....

Performance vs. Worship: PART I

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago in Thoughts on Christianity, Worship
A comment on a previous post the other day prompted me try and tackle this subject (as if I have all the answers). I’ve wrestled with this question on a number of occasions to almost always find myself right back where I started. It is both. Why do i feel that way...

40 Day Blog Fast Finally Over

I didn’t announce it and didn’t really talk about it, but the few readers i have may have noticed I haven’t written anything in a very long time. Why? I decided after several stressful weeks in a row that i needed to get a bit more organized and needed to...
