I’m frequently asked to explain how much ‘horsepower’ (brightness) a projector needs to have in order to make the image on a screen look good. In a moment, I will give some formulas that are very necessary in determining projector brightness and screen size. However, two ‘red flags’ popped into my head. First, it’s a…
There are two versions of this reply – Basic and Advanced. I offer both so that no matter where you are on the ‘Techie-O-Meter’, you can get direction on this often misunderstood subject: First, the comments and question raised by a reader of mine, Scott Steffan: My only comment on scan converters is that you…
To fully appreciate the statement made in the title of this article, you’d have to know that I’m a “techie” at heart. I love toys…um, I mean tools. I only call them tools when I’m talking to the Pastor. Every other time: toys. I like to edit. I enjoy shooting (camera work). Building graphics brings…
Making an impact. Reaching the lost. Growing believers. And then, repeating the cycle. Isn’t that what we’re required to do as believers? Then how much more important is it for the leadership of the church to find new, creative ways to make the cycle have a wider swath after each iteration? I know when I…
I receive numerous emails from churches asking about Video Projection. Listed below is one such church that is looking to upgrade their projector. What follows are a few of their questions. My responses are directed not only to them, but also to you, the reader. Read on to follow this real-world example. – Anthony D….

Speaking specifically to followers of Jesus, as believers leading other believers, we’re not looking to modify behavior; we’re looking for heart change (measuring spiritual fruit). In most situations with talented employees, this has almost nothing to do with their skills and abilities but about their interpersonal relationship issues or time/project management soft skills. PIP’s must…
It’s hard to go anywhere (including church) where people are not pulling out their phones for more than calls. We’re clearly a mobile culture with habits now firmly entrenched in anytime, anywhere access. Churches must, at a minimum, make a mobile version of their websites for these small screens. For those pastors wanting some stats…
In my vocational work on staff at three churches and in my non-vocational work for several companies, I have struggled to know when to submit myself to authority and when, well…not to do so. What I’ve learned is that I was confusing submission with compliance. At first, I didn’t realize there was a difference, until…
The vast majority of churches in America are using slide projectors and overhead transparencies and haven’t made the jump to video projection. But that is changing…and rapidly. And in the ranks of those churches that have taken the “digital dive”, there are growing congregations who have started using video cameras in what’s called IMAG –…
