4y ago7:55

7:55

We’re in the middle of a global pandemic, and everything we do now has the word “virtual” attached to it. I’m sick of it. Give me these 8 minutes and I will compel you to never use the word again! Need communications help? Holler at me: http://yourdigitalpastor.co #YourDigitalPastor

I talked previously about “content opportunities”. I want to put some flesh on that with some insights to help ministries preach the gospel more effectively.

041: Shortening the distance between idea and execution 9:48

4y ago9:48

9:48

You wouldn’t believe how much content I’ve produced that I’ve never published. As a #digitalministry specialist, stewarding the greatest story that’s ever been told, I need to stop doing that.Shortening the distance between idea and execution puts your ministry in the frame of mind necessary to behave like a media company. Such a mindset is vital t…

Communication is as much what you do, don’t do, and don’t say as much as it is what you say.Presence is as much a heart posture as it is a physical location.Progress: What have you dragged your feet on in the past? What have you been slow to understand?Stay woke. But let’s do so with the mind of Christ. Especially in this season. Need communication…

#BlackOutTuesday was supposed to be about amplification. We do the opposite of that, though, when we needlessly evaluate people’s personal lives as the basis for discrediting their contributions. Let’s stop that.Need communications help? Holler at me: http://yourdigitalpastor.co #YourDigitalPastor

038: COVID-19 and the new importance of daily impact 21:53

4+ y ago21:53

21:53

Just a few thoughts — The successful ministry in this new paradigm is not the one who will have the most powerful Sunday experience, but will be the one who will create engaging, God-glorifying content on a daily basis. Churches in this season will best show up online as their own networks.

This one is a slippery slope, so let’s just say this: Leaders and lay should be held to the same set of standards concerning how we live our lives. Peterson said it best here: “There should be a consistency that runs through us ALL” (emphasis mine). http://yourdigitalpastor.co

What better advice can we receive than to focus our entire attention to what God is doing right now?

In this Christian journey, that which is not seen lasts far longer than that which is seen.

What would we then be compelled to work on? http://yourdigitalpast…
