nearly five years ago I took a job as an audio technician at church of the rock
and I've had a lot of people confused as to what I actually do so i decided to
make this video to try to explain that when i started shooting this I realized a
day wouldn't be enough so a week in the life of a church audio tech and i am
actually a full-time paid church audio technician
so there's an expression that the sound guy's first to the show and last to go
but actually the caretakers are the first to the show so i always start my
day with turning on sound system
and of course getting the stage prepped and notice the excellent cable wrapping
going on there
and this is our pie auction service my favorite part of it is installing this
keyboard cow like they're massaging it's back, love it
I have this thing where i have to make the air guitar motion every time
I set stuff up
I just love the dedication our musicians show to serving God with their talents
and starting working as a sound guy at Church of the rock I've got to meet some
really amazing people over
the years
it's been a blessing to see people so dedicated to God and some people who are
slightly funny at times
that does sound a little weird
how awkward for your youtube audience
our pie auction is always a lot of fun and we raised a ton of money for missions
which you'll see later
now i want to personalize this for you for a moment if i can because because I
I know some of you don't get this you say you know what these pies are kind of
expensive
I'm used to pain seven dollars for a pie and we try to get you to pay seven or
eight or nine hundred or a thousand but let's put this in these terms if if
you were to if you bought a pie last year for six hundred dollars because
some of you did
if you bought a pie last year for six hundred dollars that would have
supported one pastor for a whole year right fifty dollars a month time 12
that would be six hundred dollars so you supported a pastor in Ethiopia for one
whole year
he planted five churches of 300 people each
that's 1,500 people came to Christ or are in a church in Ethiopia because you
bought a pie last year
wow how cool is that so Ken Morrow and his team come out and be an auctioneer for
our pie auction and you're getting a very small taste of it here but he's a big
part of the reason why we raised so much money he's super fun and super energetic
love it
one of the cheapest pies of the night
I have really great volunteers that support our church support
support the work of Christ's kingdom and this is one them
and now this is starting monday morning after the weekend's over.
first thing I got to do is get the podcast ready
we don't love the stranger we don't love our enemy we have nothing the scripture
says if we do not have love. any time you make a change
you win some you lose some right? and these weekly debrief meetings are always
very helpful
help us keep growing and improving as we go
and this was the week we were doing posters for easter and
they used my camera to get some shots so I figured since i have them in front of
a green screen may as well put them on I don't know the moon. (must be some way to
make glue it or something) may as well put myself on Mars
perfect this is the leaders meeting that we had all for our volunteer leaders
those are the totals for a pie auction amazing
one of the things I love to do is solder
cables, something meditative and relaxing about it
any day I can solder a cable is a good day in my opinion
and of course then we have to start preparing for the coming week
this was a busy week for us we also had the Promise
Keepers men's conference coming on the weekend
and this was the crew setting up for that sound art
a local winnipeg company that does sound reinforcement and lighting and staging
great company so I helped them get the stage ready and then we had the event
and it was just a powerful event
it's powerful to see nearly 2,000 men come together to learn how to become
greater man of god and they totally just fill up our building and crowd the halls
and after the Promise Keepers event we have to go right to another service and
do it all over again
you know I could have shown you way more things that i do during the week there's
so many other little things i do with volunteer scheduling and helping other
ministries things like that but I like just totally love doing this job
even those times of year where it's busy and intense like at Easter but it's
still rewarding because i'm seeing people come to know Christ
I'm doing something I believe in and it's so good to be a part of that and i
hope this video gives you some glimpse into my life and my week and maybe
people will now actually know what I do when I tell them I'm an audio tech at a
church
