×Is your church thinking about or already moving from a portable location to permanent facility? Recently, Radiant Church in Kansas City, Kansas switched from a mobile setup. They were a church plant that was meeting in a rented space every week until the recent move. David Jeong, the AVL Lead at Radiant Church grew up a preacher’s kid in South Korea and says he had no plan to work in ministry, “I said, ‘Dad, I'll do anything in my life except for being a pastor or being in full-time ministry, stuff like that.’ And the Lord said, ‘Jokes on you!’” Jeong’s family moved to the United States in 2015 and he went to a small Christian school where he joined the worship tech team to try and make friends and because the technology looked fun. There he developed a passion to learn about AVL and from that point he got involved at his church. Now he’s the AVL Lead at Radiant and just last year they went through the process of developing out a new and permanent facility. “It's in the greater Kansas City area. It's a pretty busy street. It was a sports recreation center beforehand,” and he says it still is. “They're actually right behind our main auditorium. So sometimes I see volleyball in our main auditorium underneath chairs and what not.” After they bought the building and did minimal renovations, Jeong says they decided to use their portable AV systems to worship in the new building while they renovated. It was a smart move because they didn’t have to pay rent at the old location while they renovated the new facility. Jeong’s first piece of advice? “I would actually suggest utilizing professionals,” he explains. “Whether it be system design and especially, especially, especially if you're rigging anything above people's heads. Do not ever do it by yourself. It's dangerous. It could fall. It's a liability.” Listen to this podcast to hear Joseph Cottle talk with Jeong at length about the entire process and the pros and cons of how they did it.…
Four steps to achieving a consistently high-quality live stream mix without the need for an additional sound engineer or mixing console. The livestream audio at LifeMission Church in Olathe, Kansas is getting so good that people are taking notice. Caden Van Dorn is a production tech at Life Mission. He’s an audio specialist who is being asked to help other churches around Kansas City figure out their live stream audio issues for a small fee. In this podcast Life Mission AVL Director Joseph Cottle and Van Dorn sit down to explain what they’re doing for the live stream that makes their audio so enviable. Cottle and Van Dorn are good friends and have been working together for about two years now. They explain that their live stream audio wasn’t always so good and it’s been a process bringing the quality to where it is now. And while they switched audio desks last summer, Van Dorn says that’s not the reason. “No, I don't think the console has made that big of a difference because I'm not really doing much on-board processing. All of the processing on the live stream is being done outboard through Waves,” he explains. Cottle says, “What I really love about our mix for the live stream is it sounds very live. Sometimes mixes can sound so dry and that's what makes them pretty meh and is a dead giveaway that it's a set and forget mix is just not good. So how are you using the little bit of processing after what Russell's doing? How are you using that to create that live feel?” Russell is the church’s contract sound engineer and Van Dorn says that live feel has several aspects to it. “Okay, so what this actually comes down to that live feel, the difference between a studio album, let's just take this to an album away from livestream or to a post produced album,” he explains. “You can tell when something is live because not everything is perfect. Well, depending on what you listen to, not everything is perfectly tight all the time and there's that natural organic feel to everything. But also you can hear the room and that translates very well to giving the feel of this is live when you're listening to something on Spotify.” As far as mics go, they have relatively inexpensive mics like Behringer condenser mics on mic stands on either side of the stage front and one next to the drum cage as well as shotgun mics hung near the PA but pointed at the crowd. Funny story. Cottle says those mics just appeared out of nowhere. “We were up moving light fixtures earlier this year and we look up, we're on this big extended boom. And then we're like, holy crap, somebody put shotgun mics up here. We had no idea. These have just been here the whole time for years...they’ve just been chilling.” Van Dorn says they were an important piece of the puzzle. “And those, since they're so close to the PA, they contribute. They bring a very mids-forward sound. And so those mics contribute a lot of weight to the feel of the live stream, he explains. “Those [the other] mics contribute a very bright sound and so when you marry that bright sound that can really deliver a lot of that live feel with the weight that you get from the mids-forward, shotgun mics that are next to the PA - It really helps glue the entire thing together.” Van Dorn goes on to explain what he calls the Four Pillars of a Successful Stream Mix : 1.) Proper Gain Staging “You need some way to make sure one that you can keep your audio from distorting, but also important, make sure that your limiters, what's being limited on your limiter translates to what's happening on your live stream mix.” 2.) Having an Accurate Room “Having a room that reflects what the livestream mix is going to be hearing. So, every church that has a soundboard has speakers that are of varying levels of quality. And so, they will either more accurately or less accurately represent the sound that is coming through that system.” 3.) Hire a Good Engineer (if you have to) “For smaller churches, you might think, ‘Hey, well I can't really swing a contract engineer.’ That's a very valid concern,” Cottle says. “I would come back at that though and say that if you have somebody who's attending your church that is a competent audio engineer and maybe they're volunteering once a month. You'd be surprised at how many people would show up every week if you offer them a hundred, 250 bucks a week to show up.” Van Dorn says the goal is consistency. “If you train your audio engineers up to offer something consistent that feels the same every time, that makes it worlds easier to set and forget a live stream mix because you know what to expect. If you have the same level and consistency of product being offered, it's so much easier to make these global decisions about your livestream mix and what's coming into it and feel confident that it will be well represented because your engineer knows how to do the same thing every week.” 4.) Monitor Your LUFS “This is how all major streaming platforms determine, this is how they gauge their audio. So, every streaming platform shoots for a target loudness called LUFS. Yes, this is a measurement,” Van Dorn explains. “In Waves, there is this other plugin called WLM meter, and it allows you to basically set it and then run it for a few minutes. Over the course of time, it will take the average level of the signal coming in and it will tell you what the LUFS value is. Keeping that high average is very important to having a consistent listening experience so that the big parts sound just as loud as the quiet moments ideally.” Van Dorn and Cottle’s’ podcast conversation lasts 45 minutes and is full of very specific details on all of these ideas for getting and keeping live stream audio high quality and consistent.…
In this episode of the Church Production Podcast , host Joseph Cottle sits down with Austin Allen, the lead filmmaker at Times Square Church in New York City, to discuss Unseen , a short film that recently won Best Overall at the Capture Summit Church Film Craft Festival. More than just a film about faith, Unseen delves into the often-taboo topic of mental health within Christian communities. While the conversation does cover behind-the-scenes filmmaking details and technical aspects of the project, it also addresses the powerful theme of mental health struggles—a theme central to Unseen .

In this episode of the Church Production Podcast, host Joseph Cottle sits down with Jody Eldred, an award-winning filmmaker and producer with over 40 years of experience working in Hollywood. From directing, cinematography, and editing to color grading and camera work, Jody has worn many hats across a diverse range of productions for major television networks. Now, as a committed Christian, Jody is using his vast expertise to support and guide church media leaders in producing high-quality content that meets today's media-savvy expectations. The conversation kicks off with Jody sharing how his career and faith intersect, leading him to volunteer his talents for churches over the years. Whether working with large churches that have established television ministries or smaller congregations just starting out, Jody sees it as part of his spiritual responsibility to give back through his production skills. He highlights the importance of finding your strengths, recognizing your God-given talents, and using them to serve your church community effectively. Jody and Joseph dive into practical advice for churches looking to begin or enhance their media presence, particularly in the realm of live streaming and video production. Jody emphasizes that while technology today is incredibly affordable—far more so than in the early days of church broadcasting—having the right person in charge is critical. He explains that churches need a media leader with at least a basic understanding of production, rather than relying on untrained volunteers. Without this key leadership, even the best equipment will not yield the desired results. From discussing entry-level gear like PTZ cameras and Blackmagic Design products to offering guidance on cost-effective editing tools like DaVinci Resolve, Jody outlines a pathway for churches to create professional-level content without breaking the bank. He stresses that, even though budgets may be small, the quality of church media should meet a "minimum threshold of quality" to engage audiences who are used to polished productions on platforms like Netflix and YouTube. Poorly produced content, he argues, can detract from the message and turn potential viewers away. Jody also addresses the importance of intentional post-production work. Whether it's testimony videos or promotional material, proper lighting, sound, and editing can make a world of difference in how effectively a church communicates its message. He encourages churches to seek out individuals who have an understanding of these elements and not settle for subpar efforts simply because it's “for the church.” Through this engaging discussion, Jody Eldred offers valuable insights that any church production leader—whether working with a small or large budget—can use to improve their media presence. The episode serves as a resourceful guide for those looking to navigate the challenges of church media in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.…
