In this podcast, host Christian Reed sits down with Charley Hoy (Worship & Production Pastor at Venture Church) to discuss his multi-decade journey in ministry, building healthy worship and tech teams, handling difficult volunteer conversations, and leading through the next generation.
What we get into
- The long arc. Charley walks through the seasons of a multi-decade ministry career and what changed at each turn.
- Building a team that lasts. The habits, systems, and culture Venture leans on to keep worship and production teams healthy over the long haul.
- The hard conversations. How to give a difficult “not right now” or “let’s talk about how this went” to a volunteer without breaking the relationship.
- Passing the baton. What it takes to develop and lead the next generation of worship and tech volunteers.
Why we wanted to have this conversation
The best film work Blueprint has ever done for Venture is downstream of the healthy team that produced the moments we filmed. Charley and his team live this every week, and there’s practical wisdom here for anyone leading a creative or technical team inside a church.
Blueprint Films partners with Venture on their story-driven film work. See the full Venture case study for the complete library of films.
