I’ve been looking at the array of media that churches are putting together these days… Some of it is really impressive. For example: Church on the Move in Tulsa has the beginnings of a really top notch media ministry. You can watch some of the highlights on their YouTube channel. I’ve probably watched their Father’s Day tribute, Dad Life, fifty times. It’s that funny and well-done and it inspires me to do something:
Collaborate.
The truth is that all of us experience limits in our skill-set… I actually have lots of limitations in mine… I often need to surround myself with a team of experts in order to realize the considerable potential of my vision.
Dad Life is a prime example of a collaboration that could not have possibly been accomplished by a individual’s effort. In the one 2:50 video, we see the combined talents of songwriters, comics, actors, editors, audio technicians and videographers… The quality at every level of production demonstrated the expertise of a team.
It is a symphony of gifts… and no one can whistle a symphony…
To reach this level of excellence in artistic expression, we need teams… and those teams need to be composed of people who respect, trust and rely on one another.
How can we cultivate these teams? What are the challenges inherent in building teams of creatives? What have you been able to accomplish through team effort?
I’d love to hear your thoughts…
Wow. It's Quiet Here...
