On the surface, absolutely nothing. But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into church facility or plant that either has the wrong kind of equipment for what they are doing or spent so much money to not have what they need- all off the advice of “experts.”

Church Marketing Sucks beat me to the punch but I love the ad campaign so much I thought a re-post could do some good.
What am I talking about?
The new Dentyne ad campaign encourages more “face time” and uses the modern connectivity of social media as the metaphor. Their website kicks...
Yesterday, a friend of mine gave me tour of a church where he’s an interim worship pastor for a couple months. On the surface, I would have thought he’d be out of his mind not to take the job full-time. 700,000 square foot facilities with state of the art everything....
What does that even mean? That may actually be the question at hand. (UPDATE: the picture is supposed to be sarcastic and/or funny)
Jamie and I have been spending countless hours praying over what our next step is going to be. I could go into the military – something I’ve always...

for the last year I have worked full-time with some of the most gifted and inspiring people I have ever known. The friends and “family” I have made being on staff at a church far surpasses my experiences on staff at a school and traveling around play in all sorts...
I’m reading through the Bible with my sons. It may take 20 years at our pace but I’m determined to get read it to them every night until we are done. The good ole OT is difficult at times and they lose interest fast. I do my best to keep them interested...
I haven’t written in quite a while. Forgive me. I’ve had to focus on other more important priorities and blogging quickly fell into that dirty clothes pile at the bottom of the hamper that never seems to get washed. It is not that I haven’t had anything to say – trust me,...
Carlos Whittaker (guy who does something at Buckhead church) has got a great discussion going on over at his blog right now about what defines a worship leader who is not really living up to his title. He borrowed the theme from the pastor of Lifechurch.tv, but I prefer his...
