our alternative

not a diploma. a mentor. not lectures. reps.

long-form, hands-on mentorship for worship leaders and techs: mix craft, musical decisions, leadership language, and sunday systems—so you become the builder your church actually needs.

craft

mixing music that actually moves people.

hands-on reps across rooms, bands, and livestreams—workflow, taste, and decisions under pressure.

  • foh + broadcast: eq/comp, gain structure, effects, snapshots.
  • arrangement + band leading: playing choices that mix themselves.
  • room + system basics: what to tweak, what to leave alone.
people

language for artists, engineers, and volunteers.

lead the room and the team—clear words, kind tone, firm direction.

  • volunteer coaching that sticks (no jargon, just steps).
  • rehearsal flow: faster soundcheck, better sound.
  • healthy culture: feedback without ego, ownership without burnout.
sundays

repeatable rhythms your church can run with.

simple systems for prep → service → post—so momentum doesn’t fade by tuesday.

  • prep packs: scenes, templates, cheatsheets, planning.
  • live execution: calls, cues, calm under chaos.
  • post: debriefs, mix audits, next steps that compound.
