Team Creativity

Check out what Gary Lamb at Mad Babble from a Church Planter had to say about switching to creative team planning:

About two months ago, we started creative team planning for our Sunday morning messages. I have to admit this was a hard change, yet we stuck with it and the last two weeks we are finally getting in the groove. If you are a pastor, order this CD from Creative Pastors and put this into action. It is amazing the difference in my sermons. The stress I feel during the week is so much less. The pressure to do it all myself is gone. The different ideas have been great. It is very hard work to get in the groove and there is much I have to learn about tweaking it but, try it, stick with it, and be amazed at the results.

It is an odd feeling when your people are talking about how much better a speaker you are over the last month but, ego aside, that is what they should be saying.

Thanks, Gary! For those who want to get a glimpse of what creative team planning looks like, check out this DVD.

I have been looking at doing this at my church, you would not happen to have the DVD as a download (.MOV, .WMV) like the Audio would you? I think that type of "instant" access would be great. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the great suggestion, Robert. Unfortunately, we don't have the DVD available as a download currently, but we do have the next best thing - Express Shipping!

Robert, to follow that up, downloadable media is very important to us. What we are trying to figure out is what "size" and what "quality" is acceptable to our users via a download. Do you have any suggestions on that front?

Terry, perhaps you could just generate a password that would unlock a streaming version for a week or so while the hard copy (DVD) is being shipped. This would offer the best of both worlds. Just a thought.
