🎥 15 Lessons from 15 Years in Ministry (I Wish I Knew Sooner)

Hey friends,

I just dropped a new video on my YouTube channel that’s been 15 years in the making. https://youtu.be/PGO_vmD80eg


No formal seminary. No ministry degree. Just 15 years of learning on the job as a worship and media arts pastor—and now I’m sharing the 15 most important lessons I’ve learned along the way.


If you're in ministry, volunteering, or just love the local church, I think you’ll resonate with a few of these.


Here’s a taste of what I cover:


These are things I wish someone had told me 15 years ago when I first started here. If you’re newer in ministry or just looking for some encouragement, I hope this video blesses you and maybe even gives you a few laughs along the way.

👇 Let me know in the comments which lesson hit home for you!


Let's keep doing great things—for God's glory.
