What's up with my brain?

So here's the story...

Monday or Tuesday morning before work, I was doing my email/internet surfing thing, and I decided on a whim to stop by www.youthspecialties.com and look at their job postings for ministry positions. To my surprise, there was one position that really intrigued me. It was a surprise for many reasons. Allow me to share those reasons with you:

1. I wasn't expecting to be interested in a "church job" this soon.
2. It's in Tempe, which means, if I were to be offered the position, I would have to move back to Phoenix.
3. It's a big church (probably 2,000-3,000 members, if not more).
4. The position itself is something I've never felt drawn to before, but now all of a sudden it sounds interesting.

So, what's the position, right? "Worship/Creative Arts Pastor." Obviously, some of my talents would insist that I would be interested in this field of ministry, but I've never actually wanted to do this kind of thing as my job before. I'm still a little unclear as to whether they are looking more for a new "front man" for the band, or for a person to coordinate and oversee the whole worship/creative arts department at their church (though it sounds like the latter). If they want a front man, I'm probably not the guy. Instrumentally I think I can cut it, but not so much vocally. I have a decent voice, but not a great voice.

One of the main drawing points to this church, for me, is the fact that their theological leanings are very similar to my own (which is honestly kind of rare). Furthermore, often people who share my particular theological leanings (that is, Oneness Pentecostal) tend to be kind of old-fashioned in their approach to ministry, and sometimes a little exclusive, which annoys me greatly. I like cutting-edge ministry, and I feel that theology is one of the stupidest reasons for churches to divide. This church appears to have similar ideas. That excites me.

What sounded so interesting about the position to me, was the simple fact that before Hope Chapel and I parted ways, I was finding great pleasure in the process of planning services, looking for new and creative ways to do corporate worship, fine tuning things like lighting, sound, media, etc., and this appears to be exactly what this church is looking for.

So, I sent a resume. They want to meet me. We'll see what happens.
