"Yes, and..."
Joan Rivers ruins everything. The fundamental principle in the art of improv on stage is the "Yes, and..." Principle. In order for any improv game or scene to work, all the actors need to be able to trust their partners to leap with them into made-up territory. And not just leap, but leap and add.
They use this rule of "Yes, and..." to do this.
If someone says "Its great to be in Spain," then you comment on the weather in Spain. If someone then says "Look at that bull," you yell stampede and run away. You agree and add more information. Yes, and...
Del Close was an improv master and pioneer from Chicago who taught students like Chris Farley, Stephen Colbert, John Candy, Tina Fey, Bill Murray, and Mike Myers. In the book "Truth in Comedy
Del and Joan are playing a married couple in the middle of an argument.
"I want a divorce." Joan said. "Honey, what about the children!" Del said. "We don't have any children!" Joan replies.
Del explains that what followed was cheap laughter and a breakdown of the scene. Apparently this incidence angered him for years. He would often bring it up in classes as an example of what not to do.
"She would break the reality of a scene in order to get a laugh. Someone would say, 'What about our children?' and Joan would say, 'We don't have any.' Okay, you get a quick, easy laugh, but you've also punched a big hole in the scene. All the actors have on stage is each other's belief and faith and if that's gone, then you've just got cheap wit."
Joan got laughter from a cheap joke, at the expense of the scene and Del's trust. Del was giving himself to the scene and going out on a limb, providing more information. "What about the children!" He was giving Joan an easy pitch.
He was improvising.
As Del explains in the book, everything falls apart when there is no trust and no willingness to take whatever your partner is giving you - no matter how dumb or off topic - and not only say "Yes," but to say "Yes, and...". Agreement is the one rule that can never be broken.
Yes is better than a no. "Ok sure, what about the children?"
But a "Yes, and..." drives a scene and two actors into interesting territory. "The children can take care of themselves, its been years since we adopted them from the circus."
When improv actors constantly trust each other and continually say "Yes, and..." the scene takes flight.
The Obvious
There are some obvious areas we could apply the "Yes, and..." Principle: conflict resolution, negotiating, dealing with insane toddlers... marriage...
I believe the best leaders are good at improvisation and the "Yes, and..." Principle. Good leaders take the input and energy of a team, no matter how dumb or off base, and are able to say "Yes, and..." They find what is good in the team members and their views and opinions and are able to affirm while also using their expertise and foresight to push the group forward towards something better and bigger than anything one individual, even the leader, could have accomplished.
If you want to start increasing the motivation, energy, and creativity of a group start saying more "Yes, and..." and less "No. That won't work. That's not right. We can't."
Here's the Deep...
Life can suck at times.
Sometimes it doesn't suck and its more like that time you overdosed on double chocolate cake chocolate ice cream at your 5th chocolate birthday party and your mom had to chocolate induce a sugar coma with horse tranquilizers to get you chocolate down from the top of the Dallas football stadium chasing chocolate squirrels.
But a lot of times life can suck. People die. Friends move away. Jobs are hard. Your wife never folds her clothes and leaves her boxers on the floor. (Wait...)
One of the hardest things to grasp as a Christian is man's free in stark contrast to God's all-knowing, all-forseeing, all-powerful, and all-everything-ness. If God already knows what will happen, do we really have free will? What about all the suck in the world?
God's providential care and ability to direct and steer everything towards goodness and love and truth, even when people are making the wrong decisions or life sucks, is hard to wrap the brain matter around.
The Improv
But maybe the way life works, and the way we should dance with God, is a lot like improv on a stage with two actors.
There are things we can't control: genetics, other people, cancer, Michael Voris, weather, our upbringing, mistakes. These things are handed to us. And they don't make sense most of the time and they seem unfair.
And we could spend a lot of time stomping our feet and giving a "No!" Or maybe we get a cheap laugh out of our NO by resorting to things like drinking, depression, complacency, porn, anger, resentfulness, envy, gluttony, sloth, and the like. Its a quick fix that doesn't last.
From the book:
"What kind of improvisor goes for the quick joke at the expense of his partner and the scene? Usually someone who is weak, insecure, or egotistical. It is an act of desperation, done to control the scene or to try and look better."
Maybe a better response is a constant "Yes, and..." to God. We don't have to just sit back and passively accept things. But we don't have to spend our life boxing air either.
Sometimes an actor won't know where his partner is going until later in the sketch. I sure as pants don't always know where God is going with things. I tend to think in timeframes like the next hour, the next week, the next year. God thinks in much longer timelines.
Some People who lived the "Yes, and..."
- St. Patrick, captured into a slave trade, effectively makes Ireland Catholic.
- St. Ignaitus takes an cannonball to the leg, then becomes the founder of a religious order.
- St. Jerome, plagued by lust, translates the Hebrew Bible into Latin as a form of distraction. (Hebrew is frustrating.)
- Chaira Badano gets bone cancer, inspires thousands, becomes one of my favorite recent almost-saints.
(Comment at the end of this post with a Saint or person of faith who took an obstacle thrown into their lives and made the best of it. I'll add it to the list.)
The genius of the best improv actors is they can take any situation, however bad or good, and run with it. The most beautiful and insightful works of art come from the exposure to conflict, pain, and suffering faced bravely and honestly. There is a truth to be learned in the emptying of self into suffering. The greatest artist once said "Take up your cross and follow me."
So maybe today you can start trusting and leaping into the unknown. Trust God a little more on the stage and start saying "Yes, and..." to those unclear and hard parts of life. That's way more interesting. That's way more fulfilling.
Don't be a Joan Rivers.
Yuck.

Video Interview: The Living Catechism
[embed]https://vimeo.com/89812204[/embed] If you like grandiose hand gestures and hate eye contact, then this guest appearance I made on the amazing parish-based show The Living Catechism is for you.
But seriously, this was a super fun interview with THE Nick De La Torre and is a good introduction to the reasons the Catechism is so important in any Catholic's life.
Don't be boring. Read the Catechism.
Coffee Interviews: Inspired Angela and Design, Taste, and Vulnerability
http://youtu.be/uWt-qtnTte8 Angela is a blogger and graphic designer for a Catholic evangelization apostolate who took some time to chat with me about how God steered her from a drumming, tap-dancing, artistic childhood to working on graphic design for Toyota then to working as a graphic designer for a Catholic apostolate.
Angela writes at InspiredAngela where she focuses on art, love, Jesus, and new media. You can also find her on the tweets at: @inspiredangela
Some of the topics we chatted about:
How do you work on developing good taste in design or writing or anything? How to find masters in a field to grow your taste Zepplin Trial and error in design Bumpers Where is the line between being true to yourself and not overly exposing yourself to the world in art, writing, the spiritual life, or anything you do?

Angela's talk on the Sacred Heart: Lift Up Your Hearts
The Sacred Heart Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: “The Son of God. . . loved me and gave himself for me.” He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation, “is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings” without exception.

Ira Glass on Creative Work
“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”-Ira Glass
More Tech for Parish Ministry
I recently wrote an article about some tech, gear, and tools we've been using to do some parish design projects for a recent campaign we had and a promotional video shoot. Since people seemed to really enjoy it, I thought I'd share some of the other things and stuff I'm using right now.
Omnifocus
(Mac and Iphone)
Omnifocus is an incredibly broad and versatile task/ project manager app that synchs across both Mac and iPhone. I use it to stay sane. Maybe you know the feeling...
Audrey Assad concert. Core team training. Sunday's youth group night. 9th grade retreat. Website. Lunch meeting. Parent meeting at 3pm. Send that email. Respond to this phone call. Pay this bill by Tuesday. Reserve the retreat center. Meet with the secretary and discuss possibility of never transferring phone calls to me ever again.
How do you stay on top of all these projects/individual tasks/due dates/reminders required to get anything done, and do it all on time? I do it with Omnifocus.
You can set deadlines, defer a task so you don't see it until a certain time, schedule reoccurring tasks (like daily praying or taking out the trash), and even set a location reminder (when I pass a Apple Store remind me that I need a VGA adapter). It synchs to your phone too, which is super nice. I showed my Pastor Priest Boss Man this app and he loved it so much he told the staff that anyone who wants it can purchase it on the Church budget.
You'll get the most out of Omnifocus if you are familiar with the Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
GTD+Ministry post to come...
If you're into this kind of thing, there is a great podcast series on GTD by Merlin Mann and Dan Benjamin on Back to Work. Listen to episodes 95 through 99. You might not enjoy these at all.
Back to Work Podcast Ep. 95 - She's Five for a Living Ep. 96 - Compensatory Muscles Ep. 97 - Pope of the Office Ep. 98 - Bagged and Boarded Ep. 99 - Nobody Wants to Live in a Scaffolding
(WARNING: Some explicit language and tangental ranting in these episodes. If you are allergic to these kinds of things, maybe this will make you feel better.)
Merlin wrote a great "Getting Started" article on his website covering GTD. Creating Flow with Omnifocus is a guide to using Omnifocus that I highly recommend as well.
Workburst
(Mac)
I'm a huge fan of using the Pomodoro Technique to batch work into small, focused, twenty minute chunks. Super necessary in the type of work we do as ministers (youth, adult, middle school, DRE, whatever) with lots of shiny tasks and emails yelling for our attention.
Its also helpful to use the Pomodoro Technique to make sure we are putting in enough deep work on a weekly basis. (For more on the idea of deep work, checkout Cal Newport's articles on the subject. A list of his articles on deep work can be found here.) I think this is a huge leaky area for most ministers (especially youth ministers).
If you've never heard of the Pomodoro Technique its a pretty simple concept.
20 minutes of focused work on a single task. No Facebook, phone calls, potty breaks, texting, letting coworkers into your office, covering a water bottle in duct tape, etc. You get the idea. After 20 minutes you break for 5 minutes. Do whatever you want. I recommend standing. Sitting is life draining. After 5 minutes you go back to another 20 minutes of focused intense work. Do this four times and then take a 10 minute break.
This has helped me get over decision paralyses (when there is way too much to do or too many decisions that need to get made) and put in some solid time on work without distractions.
Take some time to do some deep work to create something super valuable. Do some research. Write a resource. Maybe even (shocker!) practice your talk... Check out this Wikipage explaining the Pomodoro Technique.
IFTT
(Iphone)
Not extremely work related, but I do use this app on my phone to automatically text my wife whenever I leave work to come home. Right now it helps us a lot since I'm commuting 1.5 hours to work. (Pray we find a house soon!)
You can also do some pretty neat things with this app like, IF I take a picture with Instagram THEN save it to a Google Drive folder. Or, IF I add a contact to my phone THEN save it in an google doc spreadsheet. Or IF I tweet something hilarious THEN save it to a google doc spreadsheet. And a nifty one is IF its going to rain tomorrow THEN text me and let me know. It's constantly adding new apps it can work with, so its getting more and more interesting.
TextExpander
(Mac and Iphone)
I might be exaggerating a bit but this Mac app saves marriages. I have saved countless hours of my life by using these short abbreviations to answer email a heck of a lot faster.
For example: I get lots of emails asking similar questions. Sometimes the answer is available in the bulletin or on our Parish website, but sometimes you want to give them the info directly in the email. So when this app is open you can use a shorthand to automatically fill in text.
So when I type "cconfirm" in an email, it spits out this:
"Our Confirmation program will meet two Saturdays evenings a month from October to November. On the weeks when the teens attend Confirmation class, they are not required to attend Sunday evening catechesis. We are waiting to hear from the Diocese about when in the Spring the celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation will be. As we get closer to September I'll be sending out emails and bulletin announcements with more information. The cost of the Confirmation program covers a student workbook, parent guide, sponsor guide, and a retreat in the Spring. I’m excited for your child to go through Confirmation!"
When people ask a question, I found that I was typing the same thing at the end over and over again. So I made a custom abbreviation "aaq" for: "Let me know if you have any other questions."
"Reglink" automatically fills in the link to find online registration for faith formation classes. "Ccell" inserts my cell number. ":hsi" inserts a long paragraph giving the instructions for registering and using our online home school option for faith formation.
You get the gist. HUGE time saver and it feels really epic when you type three or four letters and a bunch of text bloops in.
Evernote
(PC/Mac and Mobile)
Evernote is a a note-taking app that synchs across all your devices. You can grab clips and images from the web, record and save audio notes, and take pictures of documents.
I mainly use this app on my phone to take pictures of documents and save them. The advantage of using Evernote is you can search notes AND IMAGES for text.
The problem I had was I kept having all sorts of meetings but kept losing the notes from the meetings. I would write down some to-do's from the notes but inevitably sometimes I would miss something and need to go back to the original. I tried keeping a "Meeting Notebook" but that didn't work because I couldn't guarantee I would always have it when I need it. I needed a way to collect a hard copy and file them away so I could easily access them for reference.
I take notes from our staff meeting on one sheet of paper, and then save them in evernote by taking a picture of the page. I tag the date, save them, and throw away the paper. I do this for most meetings I have. I also take snapshots of whiteboard brainstorming sessions for future reference.
Evernote is free up to a certain amount of space in the *cloud* but I've used it for years and haven't had to switch to the paid plan.
Audacity
(PC/Mac) Audacity is a free audio editor. I use this for podcast editing. I also used this to record the music for our Parish video. It's pretty easy to use and there are tons of tutorials out there to learn how to do what you gotta do.
(Not-as-Honorable Mentions)
Posca Paint Markers
You gotta label stuff. Also if you have paint markers you're bound to be more creative/draw on something you're not supposed to. Snag em' here.
Scrivener
I'm testing out Scrivener as an alternative to MS Word. It seems like a great way to organize research and notes for writing talks, blogs, resources, and youth nights, and then actually write those things in a flexible way. You can move around pieces of the content easily, outline, easily change format universally, keep a target word count, etc . I'm not that deep into it yet, but I'll let you know what I think.
What tech and tools are you using that help in ministry, doing work, and making stuff? Leave a comment and let me know.
Augustinian Soul Music: Sam Rocha "Late to Love" Release
If St. Augustian owned an electric guitar instead of a pen and hung out with Ray Charles, then his Confessions might have sounded something like this.
Sam Rocha is a philosopher, author, and musician who released his Kickstarter funded album Late to Love
"Late to Love is an original concept album that performs a reading of Augustine’s Confessions through soul music. It is not a generic ode to a saint or holy person, nor it is a neutral and uncontroversial celebration of an important ancient book. From beginning to end Rocha offers a bold and fresh reading of Augustine’s Confessions where the form is the content, where melody and verse take the place of assertions and argument." (from latetolove.bandcamp.com)
He calls it Augustinian Soul. And I believe him.
This description, obviously written by Sam, I found on the Wiseblood website:
"Soul music is not so much a genre as it is a sentiment, a quality. When a musician “has soul” it is not something that is stylistic or technical. No. To have soul is to have a certain conviction, grit, and sincerity. Soulful music is music that has the capacity to show and offer love. Augustinian soul music, then, verges on redundant since, for Augustine, it is the heart that moves the soul. Two traditions, philosophy and music, have for centuries reflected and practiced the art of soul craft. In Late to Love, Sam Rocha, a philosopher and musician, combines those traditions in pursuit of the sound and song that can be recognized as soulful, that moves the body, heart, and mind, reaching out to the intimate place where the ego is absent and where God abides in its place. This place is what has been called the soul; its song endures in and out of religious or devotional settings – and for good reason. The world today is filled with stylists and technicians of all sorts, bureaucrats and managers and experts, but, in the midst of so much knowledge and sophistication, the simple human touch, the touch that reaches the heart and moves the soul without insulting the intellect, is all too rare. Late to Love is soul music, inspired by the soul craft of music and philosophy, without comprising the integrity of either."
This album is raw and doesn't give a what. (Listen to it here on band camp.) You'll find some disturbing lines that reveal a lover who is lacking any filter of self-consciousness. Some of the most disturbingly sincere lines:
"My watch hands don't glow my heart ain't got no usb" "Pinocchio is fake, but that nose seems so real" "If the water ain't hot, then them dishes ain't clean. Make your eggs with love."
My favorite line by far is from the track Alien House:
"While the alien wishes for, just awhile longer, washed like soiled dishes, before the funk grows any stronger."
There is depth I'm missing to some of these lines and songs as a whole that edge this album close to esoteric, and maybe that's just the soul of song. Some people smarter and more philosophical than myself have already caught on to what Sam is grooving.
Sam excels at that grooving and whining electric guitar fingerpicking style that often makes me think I'm hearing bow ties and black dresses clinging glasses and silverware in a late night jazz club. This is a diverse album though with a wide range of sound across the tracks.
I threw down $50 for the Late to Love cause with two others who challenged Sam on Facebook to do a ridiculously sincere cover of a Veggie Tales song. Here is the glorious rendition:
[youtube=http://youtu.be/l374EZU7G7o?list=UUgUqMckwi8jhFXSfjuJqPhg]
Buy Sam Rocha's Album Late to Love because its a good album with roots in truth and funk. Its hard to come across a marriage of the two as sincere as this.
And make sure you have a copy of The Confessions of Saint Augustine
Tech, Gear, and Tools for Parish Design
People ask me how we make the cool things we make and so I want to show you all the things I use to make the cool things we make.
So I'm working at the new job at the new Church down in God's country (Texas) and wanted to share with you some of the sweet stuff we've been working on. Some videos, video editing, graphic design, GoPros, and more are below.
I am by no means near a pro at video, filming, lighting, editing, etc but I think we pulled together some great stuff for the first couple months on the job. I wanted to show the behind the scenes techy gear and resources we used. If you have some budget you could easily do this in a few days while learning some super valuable skills.
At the recommendation of my good friend Nick who works at a parish up in Toledo, a few of us Church lay minister people combined our budgets to buy a real stinking nice camera. The Panasonic LUMIX GH4
This camera is SOOO nice. It can even shoot in 4k, which will come in handy four years from now when HD looks dumb next to all the 4k tv's everyone will own. (Maybe?)
Here's a picture of our fearless Pastor. Pretty nice right-out-of-the-box photo. (I ended up using this picture for his new Twitter account....)
We launched a lot of big changes, new programs, and new ministries at the beginning of August and we wanted to wrap up all these announcements in a campaign with some slick logos and videos. I use Inkscape for all my graphic design stuff (I'm an amateur in this as well. I'm starting to dabble in Pixelmator which is a little quicker at photo enhancements).
We came up with this banner logo in about 15 minutes after a brainstorm session where we decided as a parish staff to use the words of Jesus to St. Francis, "Francis, rebuild my Church", as our theme for this campaign. We are St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, after all...
Our facilities guy/Jack O' All Trades went to film school and used to sell cameras and had some lighting equipment lying around, so he let us borrow it and helped set up a great shot Robert Barron interview style. I used a TASCAM DR-05 Portable Digital Recorder with a lavalier mic clipped under Father's shirt at about chest level for his audio. (I used the Tascam and lav mic for our catechist training recording as well. Best $100 investment ever.)
I took some b roll footage on my iPhone 5 just for the heck of it and actually ended up using it in the final edit we published. We also used a LOT of Wolf Urine Lure-32 oz
I'm really new to Final Cut Pro, but its pretty straight forward even if you are 25 and own a laptop and a two year old. My coworker and I recorded a little diddle (diddy? doodle? piddle? poodle?) on a ukelele and guitar with a Blue Yeti USB Microphone straight into Audacity (a free audio editor) for the background music.
The biggest help with Final Cut came from some good videos explaining color correction. My friend Nicolas again came to the rescue with these video tutorials that helped a lot. Although the final version uploaded to Vimeo was a bit too dark... We also had a light go out on us half way through the shooting of the video so that took some extra love and care to get it to look at least passable. Next time I'm going to watch the video in a lit room before uploading it to make sure the color and brightness is good.
Here's the good bit from an email Nic sent me with the videos that helped:
We also purchased two GoPro HERO3+
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/102104399]
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/103683070]
We also recorded this video with the Azden SMX-10 Stereo Condenser Microphone I just purchased. I want to make this into a series. Took about 15 minutes total from shooting to publishing:
[vimeo http://vimeo.com/102059563]
And just to throw this out there as well, I use Squarespace for our youth ministry website. Check out sfayoungchurch.com. I use the Buffer app (free) to stay on top of our Twitter and Facebook pages and schedule out posts and toots. I use a Vimeo Pro account for all our parish videos because I have way more control over the look and feel of the videos and I think the website looks a lot more professional than youtube.
Did you like this post? What tech gear do you use in ministry or to do cool stuff? Would you like more posts like this? Did you find the link to wolf urine?
Catechist Training Sessions
This week we held our first training sessions for Core Team (adults involved with 7-12th grade ministry) and Catechists (adults involved with K-6 catechesis). I wanted to share with you the four sessions I presented today to our Catechists as part of our Catechist training (two 5 hour Saturdays...Intense, I know). Hopefully it will benefit you in some way. Next week I'll post Day 2 sessions. Give me some feedback. Be nice.

Jesus Doesn't Need Your Cool
Jesus doesn't need your cool. Jesus didn't use videos. Or a stage with colored lights. Or worship music. Or graphic design. Or toilet paper.
Which is why I wipe with my hand.
