In this eye-opening episode of The Church Sound Podcast, host Prentiss L. Thompson tackles a hard truth in ministry: the disconnect between expectation and preparation. Many churches desire broadcast-quality sound and visual excellence but fall short in equipping their teams with the training and tools needed to deliver it. Prentiss unpacks the cultural pressures, the silent assumptions, and the behind-the-scenes frustrations that volunteer tech teams often face when expected to “just make it happen.”
Drawing from real-life scenarios, he explores how setting unrealistic standards without proper investment in knowledge or gear not only burns out volunteers, but also undermines the mission of excellence in ministry. Through insight, encouragement, and practical solutions, Prentiss offers a path toward growth, clarity, and grace—for both leadership and the people behind the board.
This episode is a must-listen for pastors, church leaders, and AV teams navigating the intersection of vision, reality, and service.
