Pastor Caleb Windley shares Purity is a raging battle that, unfortunately, many in Media Ministry are losing. David lost this battle as he committed adultery with Bathsheba.

Can we talk about church Operations. Prentiss L. Thompson thinks so, Because everything needs your attention (and because many ministries need better systems) it’s tempting to do nothing at all – or to keep doing what you’ve been doing: to keep balancing all those ministry plates the best you can, and hope none of them hit the floor.  Email us: thechurchsoundpodcast@gmail.com   Newsletter: https:/...

Pastor Caleb Windley shares his thoughts or feeding your soul, he says, What we feed our eyes will eventually rule our hearts. And I’m not just talking about pornography. What I have come to understand about many media professionals and novices is we must watch what we feed upon. It must be the Word of God, or anything will do, which makes us weak and dims our spirit.

Is there a difference between a 1/4-inch instrument cable and a 1/4-inch speaker cable? Yes. Cables and electrical wires take up a plethora of responsibilities in various industrial applications. There’s a reason you shouldn’t use guitar cables to connect an amplifier to a speaker cabinet, or speaker cables to connect a guitar to an amp. Speaker and guitar cables are not the same. Guitar cables ar...

All lot of churches have this question. Should we use the Metaverse for our ministry or not?  The word “metaverse” describes a fully realized digital world that exists beyond the one in which we live.

Pastor Caleb Windley explains how Scientist's teach that sound travels faster in water than in air. Because fishing was a popular occupation most fisherman would not have to scream because sound gets amplified by the water. This is why Jesus often got into a boat to preach his messages.

Pastor Caleb Windley talks about our perspective, and that it is very much a reflection of who we are. A Christian’s perspective is very much determined by his or her spiritual gifts.
