Daniel Connell on using lights to support the story being told and why worship leaders should be lighting designers
Lighting design can be a powerful way to add to your worship service, but it needs to be something that supports what’s already happening on stage without drawing attention to itself. Daniel Connell is no stranger to a lighting console with a resume that includes Switchfoot, Steven Curtis Chapman, Bethel and the Passion conference—and even some time on staff full-time at Church on the Move in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He shares how he approaches lighting design to compliment the story being told by the worship band.

When I asked Daniel for a headshot for the website, this was the first one he gave me. I told him I was going to include it in the show notes, so I’m making good on that promise.
The podcast that Daniel says he enjoys is the Joe Rogan Experience.
For another great conversation about using lighting in church, Alex Fuller of Bethel Church was recently on the FILO Podcast.
The product of the month is the AirTurn Duo. It’s a set of foot pedals that connects to any Bluetooth device, so you can control the device with your feet. The primary purpose of the AirTurn Duo is to change pages when you use an iPad as a music stand, but there are countless other uses including controlling Ableton Live, MainStage and any other app on your computer, phone or tablet.
