Serving in the media ministry is more than pushing buttons—it’s about stewardship, focus, and creating a space where people can encounter God without distraction. But let’s be real: too often, media teams get caught scrolling, texting, or checking social feeds during service. The result? Missed cues, audio mistakes, awkward camera shots, and ultimately, a break in the flow of worship.
In this episode, host Prentiss L. Thompson gets real about why putting down the phone matters when you’re serving. He unpacks:
- The discipline of focus and why media ministry is spiritual work, not just technical work.
- How small distractions behind the booth can create big distractions in the sanctuary.
- Practical ways to set boundaries with phones and still handle emergencies responsibly.
Prentiss also shares a true story of a Sunday service where one text message turned into a chain reaction of mistakes—and how a culture shift in the media team restored excellence and accountability.
If you’re on the soundboard, live stream, ProPresenter, or camera team—this one’s for you. Serving with excellence means being fully present, fully engaged, and fully committed to the call on your ministry.
🎧 Listen, share with your team, and remember: worship deserves your full attention.
