As audio engineers, it is your job to create an environment that allows the congregation to immersive themselves into the experience. 

There is a lot of technology that helps us create that experience, but there is also a team of people who lead that moment. Where do you fit into that team? In our season finale, the guys talk about how they build trust with their teams, their leaders, and the congregation. Hear the extended version of this episode on the podcast, with a shortened version on YouTube.
