the life of a renaissance pastor
Wow.
We watch all our TV via the internet. And it sure would be nice to have it on the big screen (if you consider a 32″ 4:3 Toshiba a big screen). So I’m workin on an inexpensive solution, which includes some video adapting & wireless keyboard & mouse. When I happened upon this beauty. Apple [...]
Earlier this year, our church moved into our building. It was quite an event, and quite a process. I spent a lot of time visionizing, designing, and actually building, before, during, and after construction. I tried my best to keep our people updated with videos throughout the process. I was looking through them today and [...]
You’ve got to check this out, especially if you delve into web, design, blogging, designing, etc. This happens on almost a daily basis to me:

Found this over at Motionhouse’s Blog.
I wish the people who did this to us understood. Unfortunately, I don’t think they ever will…
I’ve been on a design kick for some new branding at our church. We use the KNOW GROW GO mantra for our spiritual growth/formation strategy. We use the analogy of rock climbing to teach how to “clip in” and begin to grow, then to climb, and then to turn around and begin to help others [...]
Two Words: Creative Chaos.
Ok, I wanted to just say that and be done with it, but this movement begs to be explained (quickly). Imagine the creative minds & hearts from churches all over the world sharing their ideas, resources, and dreams, freely and openly. Creative Chaos.
For me this has a very special impact in my [...]
LifeChurch.tv has an amazing series that we are kicking off this weekend called “What’s The Difference“. As I was perusing open.lifechurch.tv I noticed that the graphics package was not available (PSD/AI files). So I hit up Terry Storch to see if he could help and apparently they had some data loss at some time and [...]
Here’s a random video for you
I don’t know what I like more, the Guinness shirt, bagpipes, or Darth mask, or the fact that it’s all together… amazing.
And for you creative people you’ll want to watch these incredible videos:
Christmas Production - from Pace Heartfield
which I originally found from Motionhouse’s blog where interestingly enough there’s another [...]
Hope this doesn’t get me in trouble withe the LifeChurch.tv guys. We are doing their TXT series for the next couple weeks. We’re also doing this thing called “Friend Day 1000″ - I know the name blows, but no one could come up with anything better. The idea is that we want to challenge our [...]
I don’t get to create logos very often anymore, so this was a treat. It’s our women’s conference. It’s late so I won’t say much, but any feedback would be appreciated.
My name is Alex McLean and I am currently the executive pastor at LifeChurch in the Temecula Valley of Southern California. I have been a youth pastor and worship leader, as well as a media / communications pastor so I am into all kinds of things creative.
At the core, I am just a guy who is trying to live in community, and live life - not let it happen. I try and stay real and teachable, humble if I can say that. That is really one of the reasons I blog, is to share my experiences in life and learn from others.
God has blessed me with more than I deserve and I am so thankful for that. A beautiful wife and two incredible children. More friends and family than you can shake a stick at and just an amazing life that I am allowed to enjoy and or struggle with every day.
