What is a "Technical
Director"?
Chris is responsible for the different technical ministries
at Fully Alive, including sound reinforcement at our services,
graphic support, video editing and theatrical lighting
How did you come to Fully Alive?
My story is a long one... In the summer of 1996 Scott, his
wife Cindi, my wife Beth, and I all were on a pilgrimage
to Gilroy for a burger at In-N-Out. On that drive Scott told
us about an idea and a vision that God was beginning to reveal
to him. In the fall of 1996 Beth and I went to a concert
and I was frustrated at the "vision" of what the Host of
the concert wanted and the "worship" experience he was trying
to share. I was also unhappy with the church that we were
currently going to. The day after the concert I told Beth
that although I never wanted to be up front or lead in anyway
that "I could DO church" better then what we had experienced...
Two months later I felt a strong calling to call my friend
Scott and tell him that I felt lead to commit my tithe to "what
ever ministry he was going to start". The very next day he
told me about a church that he was being called to start.
I was so amazed how God had set me up all the way to that
moment. I was totally primed and ready to say, "Scott, I
want to help, I'm right behind all the way." To that, Scott
replied, "NO, I want you right next to me." Ever since then
I have gladly followed the calling that God had set before
me. It has been a delightful journey. |
What is your favorite
scripture verse?
"Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart."
Psalms 37:4 |
What is your favorite
Christian and/or secular artist?
In the past I've said Sting was best song writer alive. Although
I still feel that his writing is incredible, both lyrically
and musically, I have a new found love of basically all things
U2. Bono, in my mind, is probably one of the most outspoken
and yet misunderstood evangelists of the 20th, and now 21st
century. Recently, Scott Owens turned me onto, "Walk
On: The Spiritual Journey of U2" All I can say is
READ IT! |

Tell something about
yourself that most people don't know about you.
I just wanna DANCE...(not really), I really like flying my
kite... it is soo far from what I do everyday and there are
NO powercords or hard drives. |

How have you progressed on your
spiritual journey to be a Christian?
Fully Alive has, for the first time in my life, given me
a forum to use the skills that God has cultivated in me
my entire life. I love the fact that he has wired me the
way that he did. Only an omniscient God could have created
me this way, and only he could have given me such a joy
to serve the way I do here.

Who are the biggest
influences in your life?
MY father. He is an incredible man... He is wise, patient,
loving, and taught be to be a servant. I love the way that
he instilled in me values at an age that I will never forget.
I have a memory of being in the back yard digging ditches
to run a sprinkler system. My father used that occasion to
show me that NO MATTER WHAT I was doing that I could do it
great and with purpose. Even if you are digging a ditch,
you can do it wonderfully for God. I wish everyone could
know my Dad. |
