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 you off after 3 minutes (sort of…the clock freezes sometimes) to encourage you to spend more ...

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. The student room alone was light years beyond some of the more advanced churches. I tripped over my jaw around every corner.
But it wasn’t the resources, the spaces, or the ...

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 wanted to do but have been pressured not to (read: wife hates that ...

Maybe it is because I like to be right. Maybe it is because I like to argue. But I think the principal behind James 1:2-4 is still pretty important. Can you defend your faith?
John Piper wrote in his book God Is the Gospel:
If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the ...

It is the church I started. That’s right, I started a church…sort of. A fake church. Fake as in no building or staff or bi-laws or benevolence policy or anything typically associated with church. It is 24/7…as in my phone and the internet are always on. It is just me and my encouragement to the rest of the Twitter world through theological discussions, challenging requests to live out a life ...

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 of churches.
it’s one of those things you never thought you’d be doing when you grow up. I never dreamed i’d be a pastor. I never dreamed I would be ministering ...

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 but…let’s just say we breezed through a fair amount in Leviticus and Numbers.
Some of my favorite moments are when I read a verse that jumps off the page and speaks to me ...

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, God has shown me so much over the past few months I feel like I could write a book (and might). Hopefully i’ll get back on track and give the ...

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 angle.
One point in particular got my attention – should a worship leader be writing their own music instead of only relying on songs written by people ...
