Matthew 28:6 He is not here, for HE HAS RISEN...I woke up early this morning with Twitter proclaiming the Gospel that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, conquering sin and death. The first time God saved the world He used an ordinary man and a boat. With a more permanent solution needed God sent His only son to give His life as blood sacrifice to cover the sins of all

Another tour is in the can. This year I did something different than normal for me. I took a position as monitor engineer. This allowed me to step back from the big responsibilities of tour manager or production manager. Refreshing barely describes this tour. It is very easy on the road to get caught up in the daily routine of road life and grow numb to the life happening all around. Some

As I was walking around Target today I once again became a victim of good marketing. Why do we walk around looking if we really should not be buying? They make all of these things look so appealing for a reason and every time I seem to fall for it. I actually got out of the store pretty easy. Today, it was the CD isle that got me.It has been a while since I have purchased a physical CD.

Today is one of those days that turned out to be a sweet surprise. Jonathan Chu from Skillet called and said he was at Muddy's Bake Shop and wanted to know if I wanted any cupcakes since he was coming to Nashville. I have to say these are the best cupcakes in the entire world. I have never had any finer. These tasty cakes melt in your mouth and taste that comes straight from heaven. As good

Is it March already? I had the realization this week that it has almost been a year since my last post. I could not let the one year mark pass by without blogging again. It is amazing how a little lack of motivation turns into a great deal of time passing. One day you look up and notice an enormous gap in time and wonder where it all went. I recently had one of those realizations.This year I

It has been quite a while since I have post a blog and sometimes it is hard to get started again. So much has gone on and so much to say it is hard to know where to start. Having finished up the Make It Matter tour today made it a little easier to get started.

Since there are no classes or books to learn the art of production management it is not easy to acquire all of the skills and knowledge needed to be the best at what we do. I am always looking for new ways to do things, methods to refine and hone my craft. One way to do that is to seek out those who are successful and have expertise we are looking to obtain. In order to master this career I

Today was a rare treat for me today. I was in town and able to attend my home church. We have a great service it was such a job to just participate and not have any work responsibilities whatsoever. After the service I met some friends at Genghis Grill for a great lunch and time of catching up.After lunch we went out to Radnor Park to take some pictures. It has changed a good bit since I was

Tonight was a rare treat. I went to a Nashville Predators hockey game with friends. It was an awesome game that ended with a 4-1 victory for the Predators. It was so much fun learning all the hockey calls and all the cheers. I might have to start going to more games.

I am in Jacksonville, FL visiting my parents, my brother and his family. I do not get to come home often so this is a treat. Although it is Christmas time the weather was sunny and 80 degrees today. With that in mind we decided to combine the best of both worlds and head to the zoo. You might be wondering how do you combine the best of both worlds...well there is the zoo and being outdoors

Sometimes you don't have anything to blog about so you just sit back and remember the good times you have had on tour with friends. Here is Culmer conducting diplomatic relations with the World Vision Korea Children's Choir Staff. Sometimes you just have to take one for the team.

This past Sunday I had the opportunity to go to Washington DC with Casting Crowns to be apart of the Christmas in Washington event. This is going to air DECEMBER 17, 2008 on TNT at 8:00 pm (EST). It is definitely worth your time to watch. It is an incredible event filmed at the Historic National Museum Building. We were all very excited to be apart of the event and to have an opportunity to

I know I am probably giving away the magic, but on music tours we actually rehearse before we go on the road. The ideal situation is to set it up exactly like it will be on the road.As you can see we did not make it today. Seventeen foot might seem tall to those of us who do not even hit the six foot mark, but when you are rigging lights, sound, and video it is not very tall. We searched

Today was my last day on tour with Cece Winans for the fall. It was bitter sweet. I have come to love Cece and her band. She is an amazing person who is incredibly talented. It is always a great feeling of accomplishment to finish another tour and yet it is sad because you spend so much time with all kinds of people on the road you start to become family and then it is time to leave again.

Last night was the longest load out of the tour thanks to the church that supplied less than half of the stage hands that we needed to get us out. After showers at 1:00 am we got on the bus and drove from New Jersey to Chicago. We walked off the bus at 4:30 pm and started to load in. After that we came to the church to kick back and relax a while. I felt after a hard days schedule I would

No matter what the obstacle there are always solutions. This past week I did a show in Orlando at an unnamed church. I spent weeks trying to contact the staff with no success. The day before the show the tour manager finally left the message that if we did not get a returned call we would not do the show. In the middle of load in the tour manager calls me over and hands me the phone and says

Because today is Sunday and I am doing a church tour that means we get the privilege of waiting until after church to load in and then we have to double time everything to get it up in, running, and checked in time for 5:30 pm doors. Since I am doing a gospel tour that means church does not get out until 1 pm at the earliest. Today was one of those days. I was excited to learn that the church

Even on the worst of days deep down I love traveling around the country figuring out how to get all the production up and running by show time.

The dictionary defines anonymous as “not being identified by name”. It is always interesting and curious to me about what an individual’s reasons and/or motives are for remaining anonymous. Sometimes it is cowardice, fear, and insecurity other times the reasons are noble, gallant, or just good ole fashion courtesy.

It was an outreach to the city which was a really great idea to try to reach a very dark and demonic city. the down side is today is one of the few days that it poured down rain all day.

Tough is getting a cold during rehearsals and having to get the tour rolling when you don't feel good at all.

This past week in Nashville was Fan Fair 2008. All of the country music artists put on a countless number of shows for all the country fans around the world. People come from all over to see their favorite artists or bands. This year I had the opportunity to work with Little Big Town.Saturday night we played the CMA music fest at LP Field.It was a great set up for all the fans to enjoy.We did

Last week I was driving to a meeting minding my own business when I looked up on the side of the road was a sign for the Franklin Rodeo. I thought to myself it is not everyday that we get to go to the rodeo so that might be fun. After checking around with a few people I convinced Adam and Jessica to go with me.As you can see Adam was more excited about the cotton candy than the actual rodeo

I finally made it off of tour and so it was time to take a vacation. Most of the time when one gets off tour the only thing they want to do is stay at home. I met someone special and I have been waiting for the opportunity to hang out together with no work responsibilities. So Wednesday I hoped a Southwest flight and flew to the big city of Dallas.The weather was perfect so we decided enjoy

Today we are in Bloomington, IL and doing an 8pm show. It is unbelievable how much longer the day seems just making the show one hour later. I have been fighting to stay awake. I did a blog on the Crowns Crew Blog and I still have two hours before the show starts. I really have nothing to blog on today so I thought I would share a couple of photos that I thought were cool.This goose reminded

We finally made it to technical rehearsal with the band. I have spent the last month working on the advance details for the 2008 Dove Awards Casting Crowns performance of East to West and we are finally here. It is amazing to me how you can actually spend a month on details for a 4 minute and 20 second song.We wanted to do something special so we have a nine piece string orchestra. Live

It is not everyday we get a reason to celebrate on tour. Today is one of those rare days we have just such a reason. Our favorite LED tech has a birthday today. At dinner we started the festivities with the traditional birthday song as we presented Culmer with a cake.This is an extremely rare and unique photo...yes Jeff is smiling.Another rare treat came from Melanie is the Hall family

OK I know it has been a while since I have blogged because I am starting to get the typical complaints from the peanut gallery (Tim). I have been sick for a couple of weeks and finally have broken free of the crudes. Our tour manager went into the hospital and could not make it this week on the road so we have had to pull some double duty (haha he said Doodie) so it has been busy. Not to

Rolling off the bus sometimes the only thing you want to do is get a good meal and go to sleep. This week I had a great meal and then went downtown to hang out with friends on the Winter Jam tour. It was like a mini-GMA week. Every once in a while the moons align and all of the road guys seem to be in the same place at the same time. It was so good to see everyone and catch up. Skillet blew

We are in Salisbury, MD today and everyone seemed a little tired this morning. As I was walking behind the stage this morning I heard someone yell "HEADS" and a ceiling tile fell a couple of feet next to me. I thought man that was close and went to the production office to work. A few minutes later I heard a great clatter from the arena floor and so I went out to check, only to find more tiles

Months ago I was excited to see Michael Buble doing a US tour. Unfortunately, I have a bus call the night he is in Nashville so I decided to look to cities close by. I saw I was not working on the night he would be performing at the FEDEX Forum in Memphis, TN. I bought tickets and anxiously waited for the day to get here. Well the day has finally arrived so Adam and I hit I-40 West headed to

Friday we were in Madison, WI. We started to get reports of a huge snow storm coming in mid morning. We spent the rest of the day making plans to see what we could do to make load out as fast as possible knowing we had a long hard drive to Louisville, KY. Tucked into our bunks we braced ourselves for a bumpy night. Frustrated that I woke up early as we slid all around the road. I decided

Newark, NJ was the final show of our last run. It was at Prudential Arena downtown Newark. The arena just opened in October so it was really nice, but man it stinks being so close to New York City and not getting to go. We had a great crowd and a really good show. I think the people up there are hungry. I knew you would probably not believe me but I actually caught Mark Hall "playing for the

Today was my 36th birthday and it was truly a great day.  I literally had about 60 people call, email, or text me today.  It is such a great feeling to have so many friends that love and care about you enough to celebrate the day of your birth by just contacting you.  I want to thank each and every one of you that took time out to call me today.  It really made today one of the best birthdays of

It seems like we just got home and we are already getting on the bus to head back out on the road.  Today we had an added bonus of snow while trying to get all of our stuff on the bus.  This is only the start of a long weekend in the Northeast.  The run this weekend starts in Erie, PA then we truck all the way to Amhurst, MA and end up in Newark, NJ with the pleasure of riding all the way back to

LIGHTS - CAMERA - ACTIONPraise God this week is over. The good news is we were in Florida all week and it was warm. The bad news is we had an additional audio and video crew along with us to film the Casting Crowns live DVD. This adds hundreds of details to the events and it seemed like no one wanted to plan in advance. Being a planner this drove me up the wall. I laid in my bunk wide awake

OK OK this blog is for all my annoying friends (Culmer) who keep riding me about not blogging. January is quickly becoming tradition for me to take time off. This year I decided to do something different and I went to Las Vegas. I really got lucky on this picture and admittedly I took this picture with my small point n shoot.The weather was perfect really great times to walk about and take

I know it has been forever since I last sent a post, part procrastination and part just wanting to chill being the end of a long hard year. I finally have some time off and drove down to Florida to spend some quality time catching up with the fam. The whole Farnsworth family was together again and enjoying time together Christmas day.Today my dad and I went to Bullseye gun range so that I could

So it has been almost a month since my last post and boy do I feel lazy. How do I find so much to occupy my time all the time and then lose track of the things I really need to do like update my blog. The Altar & the Door Tour is coming to an end. We are in our last four days and I am thankful to be closing this one out. I need a break. It has been an amazing tour and we have seen thousands

Today was a welcome day off. Our next show is in Jackson, MS so naturally we made the drive before our next concert. Today was relaxing. Thankfully it was sunny and not raining like the last day off, but man was it hot. Who would have thought 80 degrees on the last day of October. Best Buy, Target, and a couple of food places were just enough to give us a good place to stay but not to much

I love this picture because it is one of the few times that I have actually captured in photograph the snapshot that I had in my minds eye. In the middle of all the craziness of working everything stopped and I realize that I live a blessed life.

Hello from Amarillo, TX. Everyone always thinks it is all fun and games on the road. Try getting up at 6:30 am working all day and a little after 1:00 am all you want to do is take a nice hot shower, you stagger down to the crew room to find that the shower looks like the picture above. So next time you see that shiny new tour bus rolling down the road and think I wish I could quit my job and

Living the dream. Culmer and I just got back from dinner. No, the restaurant was not next door and no we did not have a ride to dinner. We had the choice to waste our whole evening waiting for the rain to stop or make a run for it. A quarter mile later you can see what we decided.So I am a little behind in my blogging, but as you can see by the Bakersfield venue it is not all easy arena

One will spend years working hard and building a reputation to get on the biggest tours with the best production. Just when you think you have done that another tour comes along and blows you away. This week we started our rehearsals for The Casting Crowns fall tour. As the set went up for Crowns I remember thinking "WOW" this is huge, we could never get all this up in a church. Friday night

Well today was our second attempt at setting up the production for the tour. Yesterday everyone came into load in bright eyed and bushy tailed (what does that even mean?) excited about getting everything put together and in the air. Only to find out that at 8:10 am we were cutting all the crew because we had no cherry picker to get the riggers up to the ceiling. After killing an entire day
