Check out this funny video made to discourage cell phone use in a local church. I love it when the church gets creative and has fun like this! Enjoy.
One of my favorite ministries is led by one of my favorite people. It’s called BASIC College Ministries and is led by Todd Cavanaugh. BASIC wants to partner with local churches to help reach the mission field of young adults in college. I would like to exhort you to check out this 4 minute video presentation by Todd and consider whether you might want to contact the BASIC offices to learn more.
A Strategy Kickstart is a short 3-5 minute video clip which can be used to ‘kickstart’ a strategic discussion in your church or ministry. Simply show the video clip to your team and use the ideas and question posed in the video to stimulate a valuable and hopefully relevant discussion on how you can better fulfill your ministry mission.
In today’s Strategy Kickstart I challenge your team to consider separating Strategic Discussions from Tactical Discussions.
I ran across this clip over on faithvillage.com. I loved it and just had to share it with you.
This clip would make a great ‘commercial’ during a morning service, pre-service, post-service, wherever.
Enjoy!
Sean Gladding, author of ‘The Story of God. The Story of Us.‘ shares the creative idea his church used to illustrate the power of the cross on Easter Sunday. It highlights how a well developed creative idea can become the impetus for a God moment. This pastor’s testimony is sure to inspire and encourage you.

I stumbled across this video clip while reading my blogs last week and couldn’t help but share it with you. What a great video animation about the mission of the local church. The creators, Kelly and Niki Tshibaka own the rights to this video and have given permission for others to use it.
Perhaps it would fit in somewhere in an upcoming Sunday morning service? Enjoy.
My pastor shared an awesome message last Sunday that I felt would be relevant and an encouragement to you this month. We started a series called the ‘be series‘ and the first week of the year was an exhortation to ‘be weak’.
I urge you to take some time this month and watch/listen to this clip. I believe you will personally be strengthened. Blessings!
I ran across this awesome infographic from the YouVersion blog posted by ChurchMag the other day. This graphic represents ONE MINUTE of what happens in the YouVersion community. Totally awesome!

2012 has arrived (well, almost). New Year resolutions may not be as popular as perhaps years ago, but they are still relevant. The new year is a great time to recommit ourselves to our personal goals. Of course, many new year resolutions will revolve around exercise and diet. Have you noticed how many programs on the networks focus on food, eating, dieting and exercise? Healthy living is one of this culture’s greatest challenges.
What can be mildly disconcerting is how little us pastors actually talk about it. The topic of healthy living is right up there with sex and money. Uncomfortably absent in many pulpits.
So imagine my surprise when my wife and I tuned in to an online service at Gateway Church and heard an outstanding and very personal message by Pastor Robert Morris about this very thing. He didn’t beat around the bush either. I was challenged and convicted so much, I thought I’d spread the wealth.
Pastors and church leaders – I would love it if you would listen to this message this week and ask the Lord how it applies to you. I know the topic won’t necessary be relevant to everyone (I know of some very healthy pastors), but it will certainly be a challenge to many.
