Instagram Facebook TikTok\nAbout This Week's Guest\nStephen \"Shep\" Sheppard is a church production and broadcast leader with experience serving at Elevation Church, launching church campuses, supporting multi-site production teams, and helping churches improve their camera systems, video direction, and sermon capture workflows.\nIn this episode, Shep challenges the assumption that livestreaming is still the main growth strategy for churches. Instead, he explains how production teams can use cameras, lighting, volunteer training, sermon recording, YouTube, and short-form content to steward the message more effectively throughout the week.\nYou'll learn why the sermon deserves intentional camera coverage, why better lighting may matter more than new cameras, how to define roles for camera operators and video directors, and how churches of any size can create more useful content with the tools they already have.\n• • • • • Disclaimer: This video and description contain affiliate links.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RP5ulfP-5v7JUwkoWwKODVV1BzNE1MXxnMPAUG0viD4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYTU2/ODdiMmIwMTI0NjY4/NTk2ZDMwZDMwNWMy/YmQ5NS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
