Black Box Podcast
Honest conversations at the intersection of church, production, and excellence. The Black Box Podcast is where high standards and honest talk meet. We explore what it really takes to pursue excellence in the church production world—from leadership and culture to gear, systems, and the people behind it all. This isn’t surface-level chatter or recycled advice. It’s thoughtful, unfiltered conversation for those who care about doing the work well, building healthy teams, and raising the bar for what’s possible in the Church.

Too often, mediocrity hides behind spiritual language. But let’s be real—excellence reflects the character of God. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intention, discipline, and grit.
