In 10 Feet Tall and Bulletproof….Really? he looks at the hiring of ‘technical staff’ for churches. As a ‘technical staffer’ I certainly know my limitations but often am not allowed to be bound by them! My pastor once told me that I wasn’t allowed to tell him what I couldn’t do but instead to get the problem solved! Whilst I’m glad that I am encouraged to be constantly learning there is still the nagging fear the one day I’ll be exposed as the fraud that I am and the whole pack of cards I’ve built will come tumbling down.

I work for a small to midsize church and was originally taken on a couple of hours a week as web designer. 3 years later and I suddenly became 'technical director' due to a 'joke' by our worship pastor which got taken seriously. Now if it plugs in I am responsible for it. If it can be done on a computer I am responsible. If something, anything breaks I am reponsible. Is it any wonder I look nervous?
