Is the hype around immersive audio actually worth the massive investment for your church? And how do you keep your production and worship teams united when your church is experiencing explosive, multi-site growth?

In this episode, we are joined by Eric Allen, Audio Engineer at Community Bible Church (CBC) in San Antonio.
