Todd talks with former Willow Creek co-worker, Jim Sippel about color temperature, camera aperture settings, and everything to do with lighting for video. It's basically a bunch of science, which we could all use a little more of!

Todd talks with Chris Wheat, the operations director at Soul City Church in Chicago, about project managing a new building program. They talk about dreams early in the process and figuring out what was most important for the new space, as well as lessons learned along the way. Juggling the new building project with your full-time job, how much to work to take on yourself versus hiring professionals to get it done, and many other topics.

Christmas is coming! Are you ready? Have you been preparing all the details? Have you prepared yourself? Your family? Todd goes back to Christmas pasts to talk to one of the OG crew at Kensington Church Kristin Twilla, about the journey from less than healthy Christmas processes to the version it is today.

From the outside looking in, it seems like Church on the Move has unlimited funds to do whatever they want. In this conversation with Andrew Stone, we look at how to work with limited resources.

If you've been to the FILO Conference, you know Todd's guest Dave Hunter as the MC of FILO and the leader of Green Room Improv, who performed at FILO in 2016. Dave and Todd talk about all kinds of things, some interesting and some not so interesting, but mainly about storytelling through the medium of video. Dave shares some of the values he follows as he tries to tell the most effective story possible.

On this episode, Todd sits down with Sara Emmerson, the Creative Pastor at Soul City Church in Chicago, to talk about pretty much everything. Soul City Church just finished a new 800 seat auditorium, so Sara and Todd talked about the challenges and excitement that comes from leading a team into that new space, collaborating with senior pastors and creating a culture where there is freedom to fail. It's a good one!
