Training for creative teams is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

In this episode, we talk about the next chapter for SALT Community and why it will be a game-changer for you and your team.

Luke shares the origin story of SALT—not as a conference, but as a conviction about creativity, formation, and the role of art, media, and technology in the local church. From a late-night moment of clarity to years of leading teams, this conversation reframes why so many churches struggle to turn vision into sustained growth.

You'll discover:

• What SALT Community has been working on over the past year, and how it can reshape your team's growth

• How this tool makes training easier and faster for your creative and techinal ministry teams

• How SALT Community can help you say, "I've found my people." Let's get you connected with others who do what you do to make Sunday happen each week.

If you've ever felt the tension between excellence and encounter…
If you've wondered why momentum fades after a great conference…
If you're responsible for forming creatives, technicians, or leaders in the church...

This episode will help you rethink what real training actually requires.
