I found this statement in the NY Times to be true in my life,
The consumer research company Nielsen Mobile, which tracked 50,000 individual customer accounts in the second quarter of this year, found that Americans each sent or received 357 text messages a month then, compared with 204 phone calls. That was the second consecutive [...]
To wrap up MinistryCOM ‘08 we had the opportunity to hear from Jon Acuff. Jon is the creator/inventor of the very popular blog Stuff Christians Like.
Jon is truly a genuine, normal, humble guy who is “shocked” by how wildly popular his blog had become.
He quickly endeared the crowd by throwing out Skittles before his talk, [...]
We began MinistryCOM ‘08 on Friday morning with worship and prayer time. It was a great experience that I honestly have not had at a conference before. Then Scott Hodge, pastor of The Orchard, took the stage.
This guy is intense. I had the opportunity to hear him last year at Innovate’07. He delivered then…and he [...]
After three breakout sessions we were ready to wrap up the day with our final session of Day 1 at MinistryCOM ‘08. I had met Dawn Nicole Baldwin a couple of years ago at MinistryCOM ‘06, Phoenix. She really helped me understand branding in the church environment. Here are my notes from her session.

Most probably didn’t know or realize that Micah had knee surgery just 4 days before [...]
This past week I was able to participate in MinistryCOM ‘08. It’s always fun to hear great speakers and learn from some of the best in the church communication field. I’m going to post my notes from each of the main speakers. (I’m not a professional note taker, these were for me and I’m just [...]
Jason Powell first introduced this to me. Then it was featured on Monday Morning Insight. I’m really not sure what to say after viewing it. You’ve just got to view it for yourself. I almost quit in the middle part, but don’t it only gets worse!
I hear that Mark Bennardo is working on a routine [...]
Have you seen the new Microsoft ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates?
Here’s some of the reaction: (from the Sydney Morning Herald)
Reactions to the ad were mostly negative, focusing on the failure to promote the company’s Vista operating system as a better alternative to increasingly popular alternatives from Apple.
Microsoft said the debate over the ad [...]
My good friend, Chris Forbes, has just posted something that I believe all who are on a church staff should read. Yes it’s about marketing, but it is not the narrow definition of marketing that most commonly comes to mind.
Here’s and excerpt: “I have churches contact me regularly telling me, “We have been slipping in [...]
Two years ago I went to my first communications conference. I had just been asked by my pastor to begin overseeing all the external communication of the church. I said sure and then began my search to figure out what and how I was going to do my new assignment.
I found a conference to attend, [...]
