Here’s what we see all the time.

Most teams aren’t lacking effort; they’re carrying too much at once.

That’s where we help — supporting pastors and media leaders as they sort things out, get on the same page, and build media that supports the mission without wearing people down.


When things start to pile up:


  • Media execution drifts from the mission
  • Teams stay busy but reactive
  • Volunteers burn out or cycle out
  • Planning happens late — or not at all


Your mission deserves care.

And the people carrying it deserve support.

How We Help You

We help churches move from reacting every week to working with intention. It starts with a  conversation, not a pitch.

And it ends with teams who know what matters and how to move forward. Here’s how we usually work together:

1. MEDIA HEALTH CHECK

This is a short, focused conversation to understand your current media reality and see whether our perspective would be helpful.

Together, we’ll:

  • Identify what’s working — and where things feel stuck or misaligned
  • Clarify roles, expectations, and decision flow
  • Determine whether there’s a clear next step worth pursuing

2. STORY STRATEGY SESSION

Clarify the Message

This session brings focus to how your message is communicated — and how leadership supports it.

Together, we align:

  • Mission and messaging
  • Leadership expectations and execution
  • Media priorities across platforms

3. STORY IN MOTION

Bring It to Life

With focus in place, we bring the story to life. 

From broadcast and livestream to digital storytelling, We produce media that:

  • Supports leadership vision
  • Serves real audiences
  • Strengthens trust and engagement

4. THE PRODUCER’S SEAT

Private advisory for church media leaders

The Producer’s Seat is a private working relationship for church media leaders who carry responsibility for people, process, and outcomes — often without someone above them to process decisions with.

This work supports technically skilled leaders stepping into producer-level responsibility:

  • Leading teams
  • Navigating collaboration with pastors
  • Planning ahead instead of reacting week to week

We focus on:

  • Leading healthy media teams
  • Aligning with pastors and executive leadership
  • Planning strategically for video
  • livestream, and broadcast
  • Growing into confident, steady leadership

THE TRANSFORMATION

Imagine seeing your efforts actually pay off.  When media is aligned and supported, teams stay healthy, pastors don’t have to carry everything, and the mission moves forward with purpose.

We understand your challenges, and we can help.

Dan Wathen, Executive Producer

I spent years leading media in churches and ministries, working closely with pastors, executive teams, and media leaders. Over time, I noticed a consistent challenge: capable teams carrying heavy responsibility without enough clarity, alignment, or support.


That’s why I founded DRW Media Works — to help pastors and media leaders think clearly, lead well, and make better decisions around media.


Based in Los Angeles, I work with churches and ministries on media leadership, strategy, and production — helping teams move from reaction to intentional, sustainable execution.

I’m a member of the Producers Guild of America and the Television Academy (Emmys), bringing professional rigor and real-world experience to every engagement.


Your mission matters. Let’s bring focus to the people carrying it.
