I was thrilled when I heard the news that my friend Gary Molander was writing a book. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with Gary a number of times on the phone as well as admire his work for several years now. From those experiences I’ve learned that Gary has so much insight and wisdom [...]
“How many does your church run on Sundays?” “So, what size student ministry do you have?” “How big is your church?” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked this question in my ministry years and even how many times I have probably asked this of others. Here’s the rub on asking this [...]
What do creatives in your organization, church or business need? Not ALWAYS the top of the line equipment (although I must confess, having 16g’s of ram and 8 processor mac does help tremendously). What they DO need is the freedom to create, experiment, dream and at times fail. Case in point, the video below. Shot [...]
…you have to do things that no one is doing. The message doesn’t change but the methods MUST. Check out this clip from Craig Groeschel.

Time spent on video sites has shot [...]
Okay, so it was more than a few days, but I wanted to finish up my thoughts on Paradigm Shift that I started in this post a few days earlier. As I read through Acts 10, this process of change seemed to look like this. I won’t go into detail, but you can hit Acts [...]
A friend of mine sent this article to me today, and I wanted to pass it along. It’s Ed Stetzer speaking at a conference hosted by southeastern baptist seminary. He is one of the sharpest minds in the American church, imo. If you’ve ever been to a baptist convention meeting (state or national), you will [...]
Some people embrace change, some people are okay with it, some people despise it. Change is inevitable, sometimes painful, but in the end necessary. That’s been a principle that has been hammered in my life over the past year or so. I think Perry Noble at UNLEASH (see Session 1) kind of encapsulated this idea [...]
If you live in the world of professional design, graphics and video, at some you’re going to tangle with Photoshop. There aren’t too many videos that I produce that don’t utilize photoshop on some level, and definitely for most graphic stuff. I came across this list of some pretty incredible movie posters that were all [...]
