Churches: this is one of those things nobody thinks about until they desperately need it.

Find your architectural drawings.

Not someday when you’re ready to replace the sound system, upgrade the lighting, add video displays, or work on the room acoustics. Find them now.

I’ve worked on projects where missing—or badly outdated—drawings turned what should have been straightforward design work into weeks of measuring, re-measuring, and trying to reconcile dimensions that didn’t agree.

And if somebody says, “I think Bob has them in his garage…” you may want to start making phone calls. 😎

Once you find them, make copies. Scan them to PDF. Put the originals somewhere safe. Make sure more than one person knows where they are.

You may not need them today.

But the person designing your church’s next system probably will.

Rescue your architectural drawings. Your future church will thank you.

Why should I buy this course when so much audio information is free online?

That’s a fair question — and honestly, it’s one I’d ask too.

There is more free audio information online today than ever before. Some of it is excellent. Some of it is incomplete. And some of it is flat-out wrong. The hard part isn’t finding information — it’s knowing what to trust and what actually applies to your situation.

What Church Sound Boot Camp provides isn’t just information. It’s a filter.

Over the years, I’ve seen church sound techs try dozens of tips they found online — often contradicting each other — and end up more confused and frustrated than when they started. I’ve also made plenty of mistakes myself along the way, and that’s part of how I learned what actually works and what doesn’t.

Another challenge for many newer sound techs is that they don’t always know what to ask in the first place.

When you’re new, you may sense that something isn’t right — the mix feels muddy, vocals don’t sit well, feedback seems unpredictable — but you don’t yet have the vocabulary to turn that frustration into a clear question. That slows down learning and leads folks back to videos or forums that only deepen the confusion.

Once you do have the language to describe what’s going on, everything — reading, searching, seeing patterns — gets easier.

One of the goals of this course is to give you that language. As you understand the fundamentals, you’ll find it much easier to identify what’s actually happening, ask better questions, and know where to focus your effort instead of guessing.

In this course, you’re getting:
• carefully vetted, experience-tested knowledge
• explanations that focus on why things work, not just what to do
• concepts that apply across different gear, rooms, and church sizes
• freedom from audio myths that refuse to die

Yes, you could piece all of this together on your own over time. Many people try. What CSBC does is save you years of trial-and-error and help you move forward with confidence, knowing that what you’re doing is grounded in solid principles.

(You know you want this. Register by Monday to save $50/seat.)

Is church sound really different from “regular” sound?

Yes. And no.

Audio is audio.

A microphone doesn’t know whether it’s being used in a church, a concert venue, a theater or a conference center.

Gain structure works the same way.

EQ works the same way.

Acoustics work the same way.

God’s Laws of Physics apply everywhere and to everyone.

So why do we talk about “church sound” as though it’s something different?

Because the physics may be the same.
The application isn’t.

A church sound tech may need to mix a worship band, a choir, a pastor, a video playback and a baptism—all in the same morning.

They may be mixing on a system they didn’t choose, in a room that wasn’t designed for amplified sound, with limited rehearsal time and a team made up largely of volunteers.

And next Sunday may be completely different.

More importantly, the goal isn’t simply to make everything louder or even to create an impressive mix.

The goal is communication.

The congregation needs to hear the words.

The music needs to support worship rather than call attention to the technology producing it.

And the sound tech needs to make hundreds of little decisions along the way—often without anyone in the room ever realizing those decisions were made.

That’s why I’ve spent so many years teaching church sound people.

Not because church audio has its own laws of physics.

But because understanding the tools is only half the job.

The other half is learning how to use them to serve what is happening in that room.

When we do it well, the audience hears exactly what they need, when they need it... and never has to know how it happened.

I’ve collected a lot of church sound stories over the years—but this one may be impossible to top.

And yes, every word of it is true. 😎

What’s the most unbelievable thing that has happened while you were serving on your church’s technical team?

09/19/2026

This is one reason I value periodic system testing. Problems don’t always announce themselves clearly—and having earlier measurements gives us something objective to compare against.

If your church’s sound system hasn’t been professionally evaluated and tuned recently, this Fall would be a very good time to do it—before Christmas rehearsals and services begin.

What if you could finally understand why your church’s sound system behaves the way it does—instead of making adjustments and hoping they work?

We just completed our sixteenth Church Sound Boot Camp Instructor-Led Cohort, and I was reminded once again how powerful it is when church sound techs learn together.

The course provides the foundation. But the Instructor-Led Cohort adds something you simply can’t get from watching videos alone:

Six weeks of guidance, conversation, and live opportunities to ask questions about the system you work with every week.

In fact, our students told us they really looked forward to our weekly live Q&A sessions.

And now it’s official:

Church Sound Boot Camp Instructor-Led Cohort #17 begins Monday, October 5th!

To celebrate Labor Day, you can save an additional 30% on any ILC-17 registration purchased by midnight Monday, September 7th.

Use coupon code: LDC30

That discount applies to individual and team registrations—and it stacks on top of the First-in-Line pricing already shown on the registration page.

For example, a team of three at the First-in-Line price is normally $891. Register by Monday night and you’ll save more than $267. That’s almost enough to add a fourth team member for free.

If you and your team are ready to stop guessing and begin mixing with greater understanding and confidence, I’d love to have you join us.

Offer ends Monday, September 7th, at midnight Central Time.

P.S. Admittedly, that price discount is beyond crazy. My wife actually gave me one of her "are you sure about that?" looks when I told her what I was thinking. (I'm hoping it truly was God and not just me. Guess we'll see.

Good morning to everyone who is already awake, already dressed, and perhaps already on the way to church.

You’re often among the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Like me, before most people walk through the doors, you’re turning things on, checking microphones, testing batteries, solving problems, and doing everything you can to make sure the worship service goes smoothly.

And if you do your job well, most people will never know everything you did.

They’ll simply hear exactly what they need to hear, when they need to hear it—and never know how it happened.

I spent more than 15 years serving in church production booths, so I know what Sunday mornings can feel like.

In fact, the image that I shared above reminds me of all the Sunday mornings that I stood at the side door of Prestonwood Baptist waiting for one of the tech staff to let me in. I mixed FOH there for several years, but I wasn’t on staff, so I needed someone to let me in.

I also know how easy it is to carry the responsibility of the sound system without ever being given the opportunity to truly understand it.

That’s why I created Church Sound Boot Camp.

Our next six-week Instructor-Led Cohort begins October 5th. It’s an opportunity to move beyond pushing buttons and making educated guesses—to understand why your sound system behaves the way it does and begin mixing with greater confidence.

This morning, though, I simply want to say:

Thank you for showing up.

Thank you for serving your church.

Thank you for caring whether every word, every note, and every moment is heard.

Be encouraged. What you do matters.

And sometime after the final microphone has been put away today, you can learn more about joining us for ILC-17 here:

Our Labor Day offer saves you an additional 30% on any individual or team registration through midnight Monday.

Now go have a great Sunday morning—and Be Blessed!
