episode Episode 3 - Things I've Learned with Emily Geesaman - Part 1 cover

Description

After more than 20 years of working in church ministry—mostly behind the scenes in production and with creative teams—I’ve picked up a few lessons along the way. In this episode my wife Emily and I sit down in our living room (after the kids went to bed) to talk through some of the biggest things I’ve learned about leadership, teamwork, and navigating the unique world of church work. Whether you're on a church staff, part of a volunteer team, or just curious about what happens behind the scenes, we hope this casual conversation encourages and maybe even inspires you. This is part one of a two-part series—thanks for listening!

Episode 6 - How MicRentals Began (with Stephen Arruda)

Adam sits down with Stephen Arruda to unpack the real story behind MicRentals — and the hilarious mix‑up that led people to believe his name was “Mike Reynolds.” (Someone misheard the company name, and the nickname stuck for years!) Stephen shares his journey from worship teams, ska bands, and DJing for massive youth groups to working in TV, film, and eventually church production. He talks about learning under Andrew Stone, mentoring young techs, and navigating the early “lean years” of entrepreneurship while raising a family. He also dives into how MicRentals was born, the mentors and partners who helped shape it, and why his heart has always been to build a rental company for the church production community — simple, accessible, and relationship‑driven. A fun, inspiring episode packed with calling, creativity, and the kind of behind‑the‑scenes stories every church tech will relate to.

Episode 5 - Community, Craft, and Christmas Trees

In this lively post‑event debrief, Adam sits down with Tone and Ben to unpack an unforgettable few weeks of travel, tech, and togetherness. Fresh off Thanksgiving, the guys swap stories of family road trips, Christmas tree mishaps (including a mantis invasion!), and the chaos of overflowing inboxes during holiday sales. But the heart of the episode centers on their recent production event — a gathering of over 50 techs from nearly 14 different churches. The team reflects on the authenticity, collaboration, and community that made the event special: * the culture conversations that connected tech leaders across ministries * inspiring teaching from Jeff Sandstrom and Steve Aruta * production breakthroughs, including hands‑on LV1 workflow moments * the joy of watching teams re‑energized and ready to serve on Sunday They also share behind‑the‑scenes stories, from volunteers who made the event possible to churches traveling in from Maryland to grow together. And as always, the guys look ahead — teasing future gatherings, new partnerships, and how Team InPhase continues building spaces for people to learn, refresh, and connect. Whether you're a church tech, a creative, or someone who loves hearing how community shapes craft, this episode is packed with humor, heart, and helpful insight.
