What is happening in the room is far more important than what is happening at your feet and your hands. When you get lost in your task and usually it's due to a lack of preparation you miss what is happening in the room. This is where we most likely miss the seeing of life change taking place in our churches and the vision that keeps us pushing forward.

This week's podcast is with Nathan Del Turco the Executive Creative Arts Pastor at Living Streams Church in Phoenix, Arizona. He is also the Dwell Ministries Director.

Podcast is a recap of the article called, "Get Your Head Up, You're Missing It" found on www.dillanhowell.com 

"As I walked into one of our green rooms this Sunday, I heard a band member say out loud, "it was a rough crowd this morning." I get it, we've all been there. Sometimes the "crowd" seems into worship and sometimes the "crowd" seems like they would rather be anywhere else."
