LOVE - [One Word #1]

Some of you may remember the One Word podcast that was a part of the Equip Network. I loved being a part of that work, but unfortunately both Jacob Evans (my co-host) and myself were unable to continue recording.
Now, though, One Word is back, except this time it's available as a <10 minute video. I'll be releasing one each week, so be sure to subscribe to either this blog (see the links at the top of the page) or to my YouTube Channel to keep up with each episode.

So how can you use these videos? Watch the video first, then check out the ideas below.

How can you use these videos? Here are some ideas:

• Gather the family together and have a family devotional by watching the video, having a short discussion, and saying a prayer.


• Have a Bible study with someone, and use these videos as conversation starters.


• Share this video (and the others) with someone who you know needs to hear them - use Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, etc. to your advantage.


• Set up your iPad/iPhone/Android/Laptop during breakfast and have a spiritual meal to start your day, along with the physical one.


• Watch this video as part of your personal devotion time, then incorporate something you learned from the message into your prayers.

Of course there are lots of other ways you can use these (and other) videos. These are only suggestions. I pray, though, that this work will be a blessing to you and yours.

Let me know what you think!

Search Your Notes in Google Drive - [T3 Video]

I hate losing my notes. I'm a little paranoid about that. That's why Dropbox and Sugarsync have been so amazing.

But I feel like I'm just too close to love them. I'll be moving on... to Google Drive.

Technology Bootcamp - The What and Why

This last weekend I had the privilege of doing a Technology Bootcamp for the Main Street Church of Christ in Pikeville, KY. Josh Allen, the preacher there, was kind enough to sit down with me (via Google Hangout) and talk about his impressions of the weekend.

If you would like to schedule your own Technology Bootcamp, then simply send me an email and let me know. I'd love to do the same for your congregation!

That's Not What I Meant...

I have a degree in communications. You would think that clearly communicating ideas would be my forté.

That isn't always the case.

Sometimes words just don't sound the same coming out of my mouth as they did in my head. I'll take the blame for those times.

But then there are the times that I have carefully weighed my words, I have spent time thinking about what I'm going to say, and I executed that plan flawlessly.

Except the listener apparently heard something besides what I actually said.

What Last Night Means for This Morning

I still remember the somber mood that morning.
I could see on my parents' faces that something was wrong. Everything seemed hopeful the night before. I remember them being glued to the television, and sending my sister and myself to bed as they continued to watch. I hadn't heard them fighting; So what was the matter that Wednesday morning?
