    043: Let’s retire the word “virtual”

    043: Let’s retire the word “virtual”

    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!

    042: Identifying and maximizing content opportunities

    042: Identifying and maximizing content opportunities

    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. Taking advantage of content opportunities simply means looking at everything you do as content.

    041: Shortening the distance between idea and execution

    041: Shortening the distance between idea and execution

    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 to success in this #digitalministry landscape in 2020 and beyond.

    When you begin thinking like a media company, you start finding content opportunities everywhere, in everything. And when you’ve set your heart and mind on identifying those opportunities as often as possible, you become a better storyteller.

    That’s why tools like voice tweets are so important. These allow us to get out our ideas much quicker and flesh things out so, again, our minds are freed up to produce great, kingdom-impacting work.

    This episode is brought to you courtesy of Twitter voice! 💪🏾

    040: Communication, presence, and progress

    040: Communication, presence, and progress

    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.

    Bonus: #BlackOutTuesday: Under the microscope

    Bonus: #BlackOutTuesday: Under the microscope

    #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.

    039: Now is not the time for social distancing

    039: Now is not the time for social distancing

    I promise this is not what you think it is. Give it a listen. Either you’re with us or you’re not; there’s no gray area anymore. The love of Christ dictates as such.
