Easter on UpStreet!
I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!
As we have been busily adding a fourth and fifth campus to our teams we figured out that we would be producing 22 large group presentations of the Easter story for our UpStreet kids on Easter weekend.
We wanted it to be GREAT! We wanted to use our best storytellers and we knew that we might have a few people out of town. So we decided to tell the heart of the message on video.
A storyteller lead into the video and wrapped up at the end of the video with personal application. Then our kids traveled to small group to unpack the message more personally.
Happy Easter!

My Favorite Interview Questions
A good interview is like an exploration for the next great teammate. You’re not just looking at character, attitude, and skill…you’re looking for the perfect “fit”. You’re thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of the existing team. You’re looking for chemistry. Who you hire is one of the most important decisions you will ever make! With [...] Continue reading...

Frustrated!
I am frustrated by lost opportunity. Our team is reading the book The EMyth Revisited. As we were discussing the book, we got into a discussion about what frustrates us the most. For me, it’s lost opportunity. You know that storyteller who shows up not quite prepared? You watch as an opportunity that you’ve prepared for all week [...] Continue reading...
