Bought this cheap Brother printer years ago. Never used the printer, but the scanner auto-synced to Dropbox. Fine for basic pain for double-sided docs. Now with remote staff, upgraded to an open-box Epson duplex scanner. Total game-changer. Should've done it ages ago.

When we run YouTube ads for churches, we use skippable ads, which may sound bad, but actually offer several advantages. Benefits: ✔️Only pay when people watch 30s+ ✔️Filters uninterested viewers ✔️Free brand exposure from skips How would you summarize this for a client?

Last week, I talked to ChatGPT about a deep wound I've been processing for years. Didn't expect AI to be so… empathetic. But it gave me clarity. Helped me find healing. "Larry, your story's not over…" God can use anything to speak life—even AI.

Just got a new tool to help organize our growing company. It came with a card saying: "We promise to be short and sweet…" What's your definition of "short and sweet"? Drop it below. . . . P.S. The video it linked to? 21 minutes long.

Want your organization to innovate faster? Normalize talking about failure. We debrief with 3 columns: wins, fails, and rocks in the shoe. Because we learn more from the fails than the wins. So fail fast. Fail forward. Then tell stories about it.

Honored to represent SermonView's InterestTracker on a Zoom with leaders in Bible study interest tracking. Big props to the GC for launching Global Bible School—finally, a plan to distribute interests using existing systems, not reinvent the wheel.

Overseas devs couldn't test U.S. SMS for InterestTracker. Tools out there? Too expensive. So we built our own in a week. It works, it's simple, and yes—we named it "Text Tester." Innovation at its finest.

I used to avoid hiring overseas—too many unknowns. But in the last 2 months, I’ve changed my mind. We’ve found amazing talent abroad: designer, video editor, website admin, EA. Yes, it’s a challenge. But the international hiring is unlocking next-level growth—for us and them.

The mission demands more than maintenance. After 5 years leading streaming media at my church, I realized I was managing tech—not connecting with people. Church isn't about production. It's about purpose. We're called to multiply, not just maintain. #ChurchLeadership

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of the perfect grilled burger. Pretty sure that's what Jefferson meant. #HappyBirthdayAmerica

I used to keep every tech box, reselling the used gear in original packaging often brought a 10% premium. Now? No time to list anything. Just hired my son to clear out 10 years' worth of boxes. Filled an entire dumpster. #springcleaning

Ever feel like there's gotta be a better way to do ministry? 🙏🏻 That tension you feel might be the Holy Spirit nudging you to innovate. In this quick video, I share why innovation in ministry isn't optional—it's obedience! 🎥 youtu.be/Muc7fFpT8GA

Our office building desperately needs paint. At the owners' meeting, two old guys argued: "It hasn't been painted since '91!" "No, it was '96!" After 30 years, who cares? The siding's rotting. Let's just paint the thing.

When it rains, it pours. Lost a social manager. Then a campaign manager stepped away, right as our busiest season hit. So I'm back in the trenches with pastors. Exhausting. And I love it. Leadership's a grind. But still, I'm grateful.

Two months ago, morale tanked. Departments clashed. I was really discouraged. A month later, I met Travis. Wanted him on the bus, but no role. Then our production manager quit. That same day, Travis said yes. God moved before I could manage. I'm just watching, with gratitude.

Church is for those who are not yet part of it. It's not for the already convinced. It's for those not yet inside. At SermonView, we don't preach—we empower churches to reach their communities. Inspire. Equip. Educate. Innovate. That's our mission.
