I’m announcing a new post I’ll be doing regularly – pretty excited about it! This isn’t a new category of posts, it’s a kind of post (vlog to be exact) that will have to do with what I already talk about! So check out the video below in which I explain this idea, and then leave some suggestions or questions to be covered!

A Philosophy For Social Media Use and Online Strategy
For the average non-cave-dwelling person, we no longer really have a choice of whether we do social media; it’s really a matter of how well we do social media. This is especially true if you’re in ministry of some sort, but even if you’re simply just not into be a recluse. We have to change, or maybe just refresh, the way we view these matters. I’d like to help you by proposing a simple philosophy of social media.
I’ll forego the majority of the stats on things, but toss out a couple just to back me up here. Skipping straight to the big one: Facebook has over 845 million active users per month, and if it were a country, it’d be the 3rd largest in the world! That’s huge. Those may not convince you of much alone, but they’ll at least offer the scope to back what I’m about to say…
Did You Miss My Workshop At Fall Conference 2012?
Did we meet at the collegiate Fall Conference 2012 this weekend? If so, hello again! Did you miss the workshop I lead (Making Christ Known On Today’s Campus and Using Social Media – Jon Sapp and Riley Adam Voth). If so, stay tuned! Either way, thanks for checking in. I hope to help you out as I continue to write (and perhaps use some video) to cover the topic of social media in ministry, life, evangelism and disciple making. I …
Update, & First Time To Miss The Blogging Goal, Sorta
This has been my first week in months that I have not fulfilled my goal in posting at least twice a week (unless of course I back date a post… and I might yet!) Amidst the regular duties, I’ve had a ton of tasks both ministry related and just personal things that I needed to get done – and it’s been a productive week everywhere but the blog! WOOPS – GUESS I’LL UPDATE… Actually, I have been working on the …
Funny Shades of Grey Meme!
A little meme I found online a few weeks ago… thought it was funny enough I’d have to pass it along… No explanation needed. You remember this cartoon movie? Haha. This is one of the better meme’s I’ve seen. Oh come on… you know you laughed!
How Great Leaders Inspire Action – [Video]
START WITH “WHY?”
Whether you are beginning a new season of work in your life or organization, as I am recently, or you’re needing to take a look at where you’ve been for a while, this applies to you! Especially for anyone in the position of leadership, authority, management, ministry (which in many ways is nearly everyone), this applies to you!
As people of influence, it’s always important to step out of the “whats” and “hows” of what we’re doing and refresh ourselves on the “why.” Thoughts and info on the book is below…
A Quick Update – 9/6/12
Besides a snowman on campus in August, what else is wrong with this picture? Haha! This is that one week in a person’s life that you don’t want to put anything important on your Facebook Timeline because it’s about to be swept away by people who looked in the right-hand corner of Facebook. It’s my birthday. Other than that, I wanted to write a quick update for Missions Partners and all who might be curious as to what just went …
An Intelligent and Helpful Conversation on Hell [Video]
Sometimes I write it myself; sometimes I relay what someone else has done well. This is the latter. This is definitely one of the best talks and series of videos on Hell that I’ve ever come across. Pastor Darrin from The Journey Church in St. Louis talks with Dr. Robert Peterson, Professor of Systematic Theology at Covenant Seminary, and asks him many common and helpful questions in regards to Hell. Peterson is an extensive writer and an expert in exegetical …
