Last week Jim Daly, the brand new President of Focus On The Family, wrote about the effectiveness of their much-talked-about Superbowl ad in an e-blast letter.
As a ministry, Focus is charting a deliberate new course, which is communicated by some noteworthy keywords in Jim's article.

Recently Vaughn Street was asked to produce an interactive media curriculum for best selling author Joyce Meyer's recent book, The Love Revolution, which was released at the JMM annual women's conference in St. Louis. The project features contributions from world-renowned guests John Maxwell, Martin Smith (Delirious?), Darlene Zschech (Hillsongs), and others. This is the latest project in our ongoing partnership with Joyce Meyer Ministries and we were thrilled to work with the ministry again, especially on this message. As a follow up, Holt Vaughn asked Joyce and her son, CEO Danny Meyer, to discuss their heart behind this latest project.
If you led an organization that helped orphaned children, you'd probably try to show and tell people about the problem the best that you could. But it's no easy task. (I know from personal experience)
People are bombarded by media and appeals for financial support. And let's face it, if you've never been to an orphanage, it's almost impossible to fully grasp the experience.
So how can you cut through the noise and help others to connect with your cause?
Check out Part 1 of our Interview with Will Kennedy in our post from 4/30/09. Here is Part 2:
2. How did you get started as an engineer?
It was a long journey. But the short version is that it was a passion I discovered while studying at Berklee College Of Music. I was a Music Synthesis (computer music) major there in the mid-90's. At the time, recording and making music with computers were two very different things. But the Synthesis and Production And Engineering majors followed the same academic path for the first year. It was during that time that I fell in love with recording. I owe a lot to Berklee and the teachers there. I don't know that I would have ended up where I am without the freedom they afforded, and the guidance they gave.
We learned a long time ago that when presented with the opportunity to learn from really successful people, you take it!
A few weeks ago our studio had the privilege of working with Will Kennedy who engineered the album All Sides from the band OAR. The song Shattered from that album reached the top 10 on the Billboard charts. Educated at the prestigious Berklee College of Music (where I also went) and having stints in Nashville and New York, Will now calls Los Angeles home. Will was at California Road Studios to engineer and produce the upcoming album from rocker Alison Pipitone. With a national following Alison has been described as “one part cover girl, two parts Springsteen, one part Liz Phair, and a bucketful of Kurt Cobain”. Well read and with a masters in English Literature we have known Alison for years and she is a joy to work with.
In this blog we get the scoop from Will on what it takes to make a record and some meaningful tips for those who are starting out in the music business. If you know young people who are considering a career in the music industry please forward this blog. It is a must read.
