One Look at Humanity You Might Want to See

// March 16th, 2007 // No Comments » // Christianity, Ministry, Personal

I found this video through a link at Cultivate Missional Living, a ministry which is:

 ”for young men and women [18 to 30 years old] who want to spend a year in an urban community living out God’s mission, while being trained and equipped as an apprentice of Jesus.”

I thought you might enjoy a solemn video that expresses my own view of humanity, Christ, and how we ought to view our work for the Lord.

What Highrise from 37signals Means for Ministry

// March 6th, 2007 // No Comments » // Business, Design, Ministry, Web Ministry

Truth be told, that is just another one of my catchy subject lines to make you read the post (sorry to those seeking a trustful person, ’cause I am as depraved as any blogger). I have subscribed to 37signals news alerts by email and I just got one that summarizes something I have been looking forward to considering. You can read about their description of the product in the quote and at the links below, but let me just add that I am very excited to see how this tool could be used by church plants, smaller ministries, and those of us helping out ministries with technology. Looks to be a great way of keeping track of people in a low-footprint, agile kind of way.

Web Video for Churches-The Future?

// February 28th, 2007 // No Comments » // Christianity, Community, Ministry, Movies, Television, Web Ministry

For a few weeks I have been pondering a post about the various options for ministries wanting to distribute video via the web. Looks like Bill Seaver and Greg Atkinson may beat me to it with a comprehensive look… which is great because I never felt good about the post anyway. Not really an expert on the topic. Even so, let me point to a few things I have been keeping tabs on after my time at NRB.

NRB Reflections – For Ministers Reluctant to Spend Money on Web Ministry

// February 25th, 2007 // No Comments » // Ministry, Prayer, Web Ministry

Another question and answer post from my talk at NRB.

Doing online ministry well represents a significant investment in strategy, time, and resources. This means money. What would you say to a pastor or ministry leader who is reticent about creating a whole new budget item for the Web?
