I love seeing what God is doing in churches around the world – leaders mobilizing diverse people to reach their communities. That’s why this conversation with Aaron Ivey is such a treat. Aaron is the Worship Pastor at The Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, Texas. They are a church of 8 campuses with a weekend attendance of 8,000 people. They have no central building, yet are growing like crazy and have a thriving creative arts ministry.

Aaron and I discuss the practicalities of his worship ministry, how to lead and unify artists, taking care of your volunteers, how to organize worship teams at 8 campuses, as well as how to record a live worship album.

Some great stuff here. Enjoy!
