don’t wait to stretch yourself

As the technical artists at your church who stewards the resources that have been entrusted to you, you are responsible to get the most out of every piece of equipment.

Sometimes we might not have the exact right piece of equipment to accomplish someone’s creative idea, but don’t wait on new gear to try something new.

How can you take what you have to do something new and amazing? How can you leverage the tools you do have at your disposal for kingdom impact?

Being ingenious with what you have can be a creative challenge.

Think differently about what you have and see what you can come up with. In this mode, you may not be doing things by the book, but who cares. Try it anyway. You might learn what doesn’t work, but you might also learn that your gear is capable of much more.

Along the way, you might also learn that you are capable of more.

Advent can feel like a sprint for Church Technical Artists—long days, tight deadlines, and the pressure to make every service flawless.

But while you’re pouring yourselves out, who’s pouring into you?

This season, we’ll send short, soul-filling encouragements to help you pause, breathe, and refocus on the One this is all about. You’re doing holy work, but you’re not meant to do it on empty. Let this be your reminder to slow down and spend a few quiet moments with Jesus. You need it—and you deserve it.
