The sound died and kids cried

I goofed up ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Hey {NAME}, Ever have one of those times where you goof up (by mistake, of course) and everyone lets you know about it? You know that feeling? Well, I had one of those moments recently... My wife (Heather) and I led a small group of kids (6-11 years old) in a church dance. "Praising Hands" is the name of the group- and the kids had been practicing for 6 weeks to dance at one of the services. The day comes and I hit play. For the first minute or so everything was going great. Then 1:13 in and the speakers go blank. Silence. I quickly rewind the audio. 1:13 again. Silence… 20 seconds of trying to problem solve and Pastor Stan moves past the dance and on with the service and has the kids return to their seats. "What happened?" "Was it the wifi?" "You can’t use YouTube- it never works!" "The kids are devastated." "Alyssa’s grandpa and teacher came here to see… she’s crying downstairs." SHUCKS. At first I shook it off… no big deal- mistakes happen. Then, as the attention and focus flooded in- I felt stupid and upset. Have you ever had that feeling? Such is life- I’m over it… (or am I?)... My wife and I immediately jumped into problem solving mode. We analyzed and tested each and every variable… the phone mode, the wifi, our cell service, the phone device itself, the video source (YouTube), and a few others. After 15 minutes we narrowed it down. Something about my phone being on airplane mode was preventing the video from loading... (I had placed it on airplane mode to avoid distraction during the performance... but it ended up being THE distraction of the performance!) At the next service, everything went smoothly- and no kids cried! (happy ending) And all this problem solving got me thinking… Getting out of pain isn’t a whole lot different. You experience pain… you begin freaking out… everyone has their own opinions… and before you know it… you’re lost, confused, and feeling sorta ticked off! The blind leading the blind! But what good does this do for any of us… throwing a bunch of random theories, opinions, and things to "try" into the mix without really taking a step back, separating the signal from the noise, and evaluating what the heck is really going on!? The good news is- there’s a process to resolving pain that most people don’t even know about... One that involves testing, and measuring, and doing detective work to figure out exactly what’s working and what’s not. So this way you’re not lost, you’re not confused, and you’re making real progress in understanding exactly what you need to do.
